1. You gotta love Dupree. Keep him Joe!!!

2. Darko's free throws....it got him 10 points.

3. Detroit giving Flip a victory against his former employers.

4. Defense holding opponents to less than 40% shooting again, if I'm not mistaken

5. Did I mention Dupree?

+ I like the second unit concept and have for a long time. Our second unit is very good now and will be great by later in the season;
+ Dupree belongs here. He is much more likely to help this year and any single one of the rookies so they should be rotated, if possible by the rules, down to the instructional league. If not, I could see Lindsey not being brought back; keep on the shelf until we need him;
+ WallaceX2 - midseason form and wanting it;
+ Each game Darko seems to expand and show a new side. Last night his inside game brought him his points. Oh yes, he can shoot free throws. Blocks just keep building up and did you see how many shots he just plain altered or denied?
+ Two of our players got the night off and we did not even miss them. I wonder if Flip will give guys a game off here and there rather than shrinking minutes for the players actually in the game. Sounds good but I don't know if this is the idea or not.

Things just keep looking better and better.

1. darko. great game didn't shoot well from the field so decided to take it inside. was a beast inside all minny could do was foul him. darko made them pay from the free throw line. he actually got some minutes against kg and wasn't absolutely schooled. kg made a tough shot on darko but darko played him well the posessions after that.

2. dupree. we just can't lose this guy when given a chance he surely shows his worth. if we do lose him i hope it's by trade don't just cut the guy. great hops and a crowd favorite.

3. delfino. he was driving to the hole with ease and passing the ball extremely well. i don't mind us losing acker i want to see delfino at the point some.

4. ben wallace and rip. only throwing lobs. that ben wallace dive to the basket for a lob play is going to be a big part of our offense.

5. sheed showing he is ready for this season. even got a tech too

Dupree looked outstanding last night, I am going keeper for him, I am going to have to change my mind about Acker, Joe may have to let him go.

Great comeback. It seems as though we can come back at will

Delfino begining to look outstanding, I really love that baby scoop shot that he makes so effortlessly.

Darko, couldn't score outside, he started taking it to the whole strong. He wouldn't dare do that last year, if someone chucked he would duck. Good show Darko.

Sheed & Ben's aggressiveness

The bench is awesome and they can score in bunches

Last but not least Arroyo's shooting and passing is money.

1. they won.

2. I never saw the game but all the posts here are great... especially lanierfan. This site rocks!

I love not having "pound-for-pound." THANK YOU FOR FIRING HIM!!!!!

We just have to keep Dupree man. The one thing that makes us different than other teams is we have character. We're the hardest working, hustling team in the league. Dupree does just that. I was wrong about him I thought he only did good in Chicago because he wasn't around as much talent as our team. He just has to make the cut for this team, not even that a good place in the rotation.

I liked Kevin Garnett taking an early seat on the bench and staying there.

I liked that Darko played a good quarter after playing a poor one.

I liked Delfino penetrating the T Wolves defense like Fatty Arbuckle.

I liked Dupree performing under a pressure tougher than playoffs.

I liked Sheed again being the Pistons' best player.

1, 2, 3, 4, and 5- Darko. Remember that mean streak you read about in his scouting report? It's starting to show up.
