Yep, looked pretty easy, as it should. Cleveland is not all that. They never have solved their point guard problem, and using an inexperienced rookie vs. Billups just shows desperation. James, not a factor, being held to 2 points in each of the middle quarters, and just human in the other two despite the attempted buildup by the national announcers.

Well, Webber got 15 and it just seems natural at this point. Got to love 7 for 10 shooting, with just enough rebounds for his minutes played you can't quite complain. Webber made another outside shot, but everything else was post scoring, what a sight for sore eyes.

Sheed did a lot of damage in the post himself, showed he is very capable of shutting down Ilgauskas, and cleared the boards all nite to boot.

Dyess was huge off the bench, hitting a bunch of outside shots. Delfino knocked down a couple himself and helped check Bron a bit in the 2nd quarter. (He did not do so well on that other guy-Pavolic (sp)) No Delfino in the 2nd half, nor Maxiell except for the last seconds of the game. But I won't complain, as Davis, Maxiell, and Delfino all got decent playing time in this one. With Hunter doing very well on defense, and Dyess being so effective, thats 5 bench players contributing, giving energy. Which makes it easier for the starters to maintain their energy level thruout the game.

Tay, if anyone did not notice, is above his career best scoring average, and continued to knock down his outside shots. Remember a bit earlier in the year when people complained about the misses-I said that was practice for later in the season. Prince developing his game. He has. He must be address on the perimeter, making his drives in, and all our inside play, easier.

Rip just continues to hit his shots. I wonder just how much of an improvement from last year there is. I'll check that after this post.

Billups is clearly hurting out there, and hurting us on D because of it. But he is running the offense pretty well-for the most part. He needs rest, that leg is nowhere near right.

Good to see Dale out there, but hey Pistons, do not leave the guy out to dry when Ilgauskas has good post position on him. Don't spectate, somebody come over to help a bit.

Despite the hype about James, this was over with about 5 minutes left in the game. We played stall ball for much of the last 4 minutes, perfectly good strategy when you are that far up. GO PISTONS!!!!!
