I've been right there with you most of the season - too many quick threes, etc., etc. But I'm starting to see the argument from some of the gang. CB is shooting 0.445 from three, and I'd guess substantially higher on those in rhythm uncontested ones - 60% 70%? I agree, never pass up a sure two unless it's the last shot of the game and you need a three, but I'm also coming around to the "in Chauncey we trust" bandwagon.

I saw that too.

I think CB taps his chest in apology when he misfires. I also think his teammates accept the occasional shoot first behavior as thanks to him for deferring use of his considerable offensive skills early in games allowing them to get going .

CB has become very good at the give and take part of his position.

Absolutely no doubt himat. It wasn't a message game for us, but it would have been a huge message for the Heat, had they won.

Come over to the 3 side. It's a stable of any dagger flashing team. You wouldn't want some team beating us with 3s now would you. You wouldn't us to be bomb inferior, like we are "in the paint" lacking.
...2 games in a row I hit the Piston total on the knob. Ps 95
If I hit 3 in a row you can officially put me in the ZONE !
Now dig it !!!

Had the Heat won that game last night with their depleted squad, it still may not have made a difference to the Pistons as it relates to the psyche, but it would have given the Heat a huge confidence builder as the last win did when Wade Went Wild!

If the Pistons had lost this game, this and the other board would have blown up again with our second guessing Flip's coaching and the teams concentration. The team (starters and bench) appear to be ready for the playoff run it looks like Flip has settled on 9 man location with Delfino being the odd man out. The question is will we ever see Cato actually play or he just an insurance policy.

great win, heat had no chance in this game, and aside from wade's random lights-out performance to win them a game against us earlier in the year, the heat have shown they are no match for us.
