I was all prepared to come into the forum tonight and just rag on what a terrible game plan Saunders had going. He played the starters ragged tonight, and someone is going to pick up an unnecessary injury. Sheed just showed why he's worth every penny he earns making that incredible shot to put the game into overtime. That redeems him but really this was a game the Pistons should have turned into a blow-out. It does seem a disturbing pattern that non star players get career games against the Pistons. Nene' looked like a first round Hall of Famer tonight against the Pistons.

So the stats aren't kind to Delfino tonight but he hardly got in the game long enough for a cup of coffee and no boards or points which is very unusual for him lately. Flip Murray was a turnover machine tonight but he made a fantastic steal and finish that made up for most of those earlier bonehead plays. Chauncey is still not 100% and is he on a mission to really pull that groin?
