For the first time this year, I'm pumped. The Pistons have not had an energized bench since Mike James and Corliss. One game does not make a pattern, but it shows what we can do. We finally changed a game by forcing our will on the opponent... not just making more shots than them. What a block-fest in the 4th quarter.
I also thought it was a good sign when Flip was sticking Delfino in on the defensive possessions in the last 2 minutes. At least this means he is aware that Delf is doing something right. |
Tayshaun is one of our top defenders as well. Delfino isn't too shabby as well. This was the perfect time to face NJ, and Seattle. These teams have arguably the best perimeter players in the league, but have no interior. Now if Maxiell does good today he could get in the rotation. Blalock didn't do good against a punk, he played great against Kidd, and Marcus Williams which is probably the best PG duo on the same team.
Flip Murray can be really nice, or horrible. If his shot selection was better I'd like him a lot. He needs to stick with penetrating inside.
