Ratliff clears waivers, joins Pistons

Ratliff will travel with the team to Boston, but won't dress. He won't be activated until Friday night when the Pistons play at New York. Most likely, he would replace Walter Herrmann on the active roster.

Any early guesses as to what Flip will identify as his weaknesses so he only has to play him in rare situations?

Well, it looks like Fabio might be headed for street clothes with Lindsey. I bet he has some sweet threads (that means nice clothes, Darth).

If not he can borrow that beige corduroy sports jacket that Theo had on tonight.
