Seattle Dec 17 6PM

tv: FSN

Note: Ray Allen should still be out with the ankle injury. I will update his progress before the game.

Let`s keep this thing going. Great bench play, CB and Rip rolling, and the bench, that`s right, if you were in a cave last night the bench looked good with major crunch time minutes. No joke.

Seattle comes to the Palace tonight in the midst of a 5 game road trip. They have dropped the 1st three, and face Orlando on Monday.

Not sure if Ray Allen or Sheed will be playing in this one, but I hope we see more of J-max and Blalock. Now if only Delfino can find some consistency in his play, our bench can/would be awesome.

We got this............Detroit 97 Seattle 89....

Ray Allen is still out. He did not travel with the team and is still expected to be out another week.

Pistons 94
Sonics 80

I don't get this game.

I listened on the radio, but what an amazing game from the Pistons bench!

The big story of the night for the Pistons was the incredible production off the bench from JMax and Dale. They had EIGHT offensive rebounds EACH (!!!), as the Pistons got 26 offensive rebounds total and outboarded the Sonics 54-32! Dale played 22 minutes, and JMax actually played 32. Nazr had a solid game, but unfortunately Dice was a disaster. In any event, JMax was huge in the clutch, hitting 2 FTs with about 2 minutes left, and then breaking a tie in the last 10 seconds by hitting a jumper off a drive by CB. Then Delfino came in for defense, and after having a pretty bad game, he made up for it with a huge steal on the Sonics inbounds pass to clinch the game.
