| Wonderful Win as any win is a good win. as I am stuck in scotland just now and only hear the games on radio with a few highlights here and there.... my question is, Is Evans as bad as it seems lately (no Lee answers thanks.... GRIN) Delfino seems to be coming on nicely. Good thing is the christmas games are both on tv here and i fly home for christmas middle of the week so i'll get to see a couple of really good games while i am back in the states.... |

| Another hard tough win Our starters will need these two days off to rest after back to back games of bailing the team out. Ben put up 106 minutes in the last two nights. We need contribution from the bench on a consistent basis.  They really got step to it up on Friday just so that the starters are fresh on x-mas. Flip admitted that we don't score points in the paint, but we got to be able to do this on those nights when the perimeter shots stop falling. This is going to catch up with us come playoff time.  Dale Davis did not provide anything in those opening minutes of the 4th when Przbylla and Patterson out jumped him and scored in the lane without any stops by him or the guards. Flip has to get Jmax more playing time or he will devlope the same splinters as "Where's Waldo, I mean Darko!  Last edited by LA Dre : 12-20-2005 at 10:30 PM. |

| Listened to this one on the radio. Went to the wife's office party. Pretended to smoke so I could step outside and catch a few minutes of the game on the car radio. I listened to the last quarter on the drive home. Not to sound ungrateful for the great record, but... Could we please score in the paint and play a little D? Seems like front lines are having career games against us right now. Gasol, Randolph, etc. Is it too much to ask to put a litte pressure on the blocks? |

| game report No legs. But we won, the 7th of 8 in a horrendous stretch of game. Amazing. 20-3. Amazing. Sheed hit three triples. And Tay was hitting. And Rip was bouncing up off the floor and scoring some more. Hitting his free throws. Tonight, we got nothing at all from Dyess. Nothing at all from Davis either, not even a simple rebound off a missed free throw. But at least they kept the starters off their feet for just a little bit. Ben got a good rest from Dyess and Davis in that 2nd half. I will note, we had a bit of a lead that went bye bye with Evans on the floor in the 4th. And he did a lot of bad stuff. I again will let anyone else who cares to point out this stuff. The bench did not do all that bad. Arroyo did lead us back into the game there in the 2nd quarter, taking a deficit and handing the starters back a tie game. I like seeing Arroyo working on stretching out his range. Remember, when he shoots a lot of 3's, he is a 33% shooter from there. Not that bad. Arroyo so far this year is not taking that many shots. All this was not just a bad game by the Pistons front line. Pryzbilla was doing very well. Patterson was showing he indeed can score if asked to. And Randolf was hitting some pretty crazy shots. Got to give it up to Ben again on his free throw shooting. It would have been a lot harder to win this one without Ben doing a decent job at the line. That first half saw us just turn the ball over 5 times. Another good job by our point guards. The one turn by Arroyo was a good attempt to feed Sheed in the post. Nothing wrong with that. You got to expect some post feeds to go bad. Other Piston players had some simple mental mistakes in passing the ball. Big difference. But still, as a team we did not turn the ball over that much. Obviously, we had a lot of mismatches tonight, and we got to line from that over and over. And we made our free throws. Our overall talent simply won out, despite getting big time outplayed in the paint. Flip is seriously got in for Darko or something. Serious foul trouble. Our starters playing most of the 1st half and still no Darko. Hey, we won. We are doing great. Lots of time to start playing Darko again. If Flip is copping an attitude on Darko, that is his mistake. We are not going to win a 7 game series without Darko playing in our rotation if we are facing Shaq or Duncan. People who like Davis, remember this. He still has yet to score a bucket for us. He can't even bother Shaq the least bit, and he is too slow to put on Duncan. Meanwhile, Ben nor Sheed can guard Shaq, and foul trouble is inevitable against Duncan. Every game Darko sits, he is going to get more rusty. Time to get Darko in there to build his game. For the sake of the Pistons, not Darko. |

| Same question about Evans from those who got to see the game (again, other than Lee). I'm having a tough time seeing what exactly he's bringing to the table right now. We just can't keep pounding our starters like this. They're logging way way too many minutes (obviously). |

| FG% 39% Opp FG% 50% Reb 36 Opp Reb 40 Right now the TO spread is winning games. 8 TOs to Portland's 16. You can't win a 7 game series if you are outrebounded every game and are letting opponents shoot at least 43%. |
