Its the defense yaw....They let rookies and second year men beat and out hustle both the starters and bench scrubs. In fact their scrubs outscored our bench to the tune of 33-11.

Two other stats that stand out >Hornets had 19 offensive rebounds!!!
Pistons missed 9 FTs without Ben Wallace in the lineup that is a stat you look at when lose a game by one point.

Why were there so many 3 ball attempts when the Hornets two big men West and Chandler were sitting at home? Sheed wasted to much time out on the perimeter, when he could have owned those two younger guys in the paint on the offensive end.
