| Re: New Jersey Nets March 30th, 8:00 PM Weird second half tonight (which was all I saw of the game)...nobody was playing any defense. 34-26 Nets in the 3rd, but the Pistons bounced back in the 4th, 39-29. CB rebounded from his lousy Chicago performance with some amazing numbers: 32 points, 14 assists, and ZERO turnovers! Dice was huge in the second half, 7-7 from the floor for the game. Lindsey also had a huge 4th quarter, 13 points and some good D down the stretch on Vince. CB's penetration was what drove things in the 4th; the Nets had no answer for him at all. Pistons gave up too many offensive boards again, but Sheed had a great shooting night, 8-10 from the floor and 5-6 on threes.
Actually the D was sort of up and down. Pistons were getting embarrassed on a bunch of junior-high school level pick and roll plays, with guys floating to the rim untouched for dunks, but they got some key stops in the last few minutes. Nice to get a win again, while struggling to get everyone healthy and back on the court. |
