17 points and 12 boards for Maxiel. 13 boards and 8 off for Davis.

I liked the adjustment Flip made going with Maxiel and Davis down the stretch. Although Mohamed did not have that bad of a game. Dyess kind of left his some place else.

Maybe its about time to think about playing Maxiel more mins over Dyess. I can't recall the last time a Piston bench player turned in the kind of game that Maxiel had. He is not going to do that every game but at least the potential for it is there.

Rip/CB still carried most of the scoring load.

Hello to all....incredible match for Jason...but Rebound offensive ...26 vs 7 is unbeliveble ...now with Maxiell no problem on the paint? Sorry for my Englsh and ...DETROIT BASKETBALLLLLLL

Great move by Flip going to his "defensive" lineup for that final possession. Delfino`s jumper is lost, however, his rebounding, decisions on the break and defense are valuable contributions off the bench.

If he ever finds that J somewhere it would be nice but in the meantime just do the little things.

Flip is coaching himself into a corner here. What is he going to do when Lindsey and Sheed return?

Great game by Jmax. I'm glad I was wrong about him. Joe needs to trade Murray for a conditional future 2nd round pick.

Joe should keep Blaylock up, and let him develop. If Blaylock can improve, our starters, plus a core of bench of Blaylock, Delfino, Davis, and Jmax will be unstoppable in the playoffs.

Detroit's 26 offensive rebounds were the most in the NBA this season, and was one more than Seattle's defensive-rebound total

This is a tough one to call on the bench play... I mean our bench clearly out played theres (they scord 7 points from the bench)... Dice plsyed only 19 minutes while Maxiell played 32... who's the bench player?

Anyways the formula is working... you guys that called for more bench play were right (I was wrong)... I still agree with Amir remaining our secret weapon for next year.
Blalock? I'm in! watch this kid grow (how's that Kgreg?)

Wart, for what it's worth, I got both games Tivo'd on my DVR... I can transfer to a tape or DVD if you really want them....otherwise I am sure the someone will upload the Brahma highlights to the forum video pages....

Merc, I seldom read your posts, but I happened to read this one. Not trying to argue with you, but just to let you know, you are far more wrong about letting Amir sit than what you just admitted to about the rest of the bench. Amir is going to be quite a player for one, and for two, without him we will not have enough fire power to win it all this year.
