That's the thing. Flip can possibly outcoach Doc...big deal. If he does, and the Pistons advance, the next round features Phil Jackson, or Greg Popovich.

That's kind of like a battle of wits between Einstein and Patrick Starfish.

Patrick is by far the most under-rated starfish around.

He said that Saunders offensive schemes are getting very good results from a flawed team.

Chuck thinks the Pistons just need to make their shots...but since they can't, they need to hire a few players who can.

Where is that Holy Flip avatar? I think I will sport it for the rest of the playoffs.
My 1st thoughts about that are either Chuck banged his head on a heavy object or it was taken out of context.

Not enough shooters? Maybe he meant off the bench? Seems like we have plenty of shooters but not always enough post players.

Nothing against Flip, I just think we are the better team. Pistons could have won 60+ games if they rode the starters and did not bother playing the young guys.

Re: Flip Saunders worked his magic again last night

I think we have alot of streak shooters.

Guys that can go for long stretches of making shots, then long stretches of missing them.

Starters included.

Their playoff chances seem to hinge on who is hot/cold and when.

Have a nice day.

Re: Flip Saunders worked his magic again last night

Tend to agree with your last post Max. We run a half court offense based on guard open looks. The center is sacrificed to defense and rebounds.
What do you know, Daly had the best 3 guards in the league.

You probably mean the best 3-guard combo, not the best 3 guards, right? Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson were certainly 2 of the best 3 guards in the league.
