Nice to kick off of the road trip with a win and to stop the two game slide. They did their traditional end of the half meltdown allowing the Nugs to out run them 20-11. But came out defensively oriented in the 3rd building a 17 point lead and ending the quarter leading 74-62. Well as you all klnow the Pistons came into the game 27-2 when leading after 3 so as I said in the chatroom, once we got to the 90 this game was a W for the men from Motown.

However the Pistons relaxed to much and the Nugs come within 80-74 with a little over six minutes left in the contest before Cwebb came back in to restore order with a dunk and two sweet passes.

Sheed got his 18th tech in the second qtr, so unless the league rescinds it, I think he may be out of the Clipper game Sunday. Rip got a tech too and he is up to 11 now.

This was Pistons best game of the month on both the defensive and offensive end. The held the Nugs to only 30 points in the paint after giving up 56 to the Cavs on Wednesday. They held them to 38% shooting and forced them into 19 TO's including 7 by new papa melo.

We complain about Flip...but I don't think Karl can corral his to supastars into the playoffs IMO.

CB still in a shooting funk and is now 1-21 from beyond the arc in March. He needed to dunk one shot just make sure it was in after missing a couple of ez layups. Thank goodness for CWebbs 9/11 shooting and Sheed's three 3 balls. oh yeah and the 19 pts from the bench mob....

I can sleep easy tonight
