No way Atlanta should score as easily as they did. Hamilton made me want to puke on the game-winning basket, ignoring Joe Johnson on the drive and relying on Ben to clean up from the other side of the court. Too late. All night long guys were playing off their men and allowing easy midrange jumpers, or letting their men drive by them without a fight.

Overall it's good that our guys tend to be even-keel personalities, but right now I'd like to see at least one of them go off on a Zeke-style rampage to shake everyone out of their complacency. Odds are it will have to be Ben (again), which is why I don't really buy the Chauncey for MVP talk. "Smooth" is prone to let things drift, but the team responds when Ben gets mad.
When was the last time u saw a Piston take a charge...I miss MikeJames/Lindsay Hunter for 10 minutes a night!

Re: Pistons @ Hawks Tues. February 7 2006

it had to happen- our beloved Pistons in a slump. Losing 3 of the last 4.
There were to many games only won because Chauncey took them over. Now that he doesn't, the Pistons lose.
Where are the others to step up when needed? What about the interior D? Their fast fella's been able to penetrate as will while they cleaned up the glass.
Sheed being on the guard position, leaving Ben alone on the boards.
But he has been weak rebounder his entire career and this won't change. And Ben can't have 16 rebounds+ game every time. There will be games we love Sheed for hitting 3s and then there are games in which he just doesn't make his damn shots.
Chauncey's FG% is decreasing, I was hoping he'd start to be REALLY consistent this year. His TOs are also increasing.
Getting worried...

Its the DEFENSE!

Bringing in the bench won't help because they play poor defense. If we rest the starters, and play the bench big minutes, we'll be so far behind it'll take five quarters to catch up.

According to 82games.com, the Pistons are 4th from last in the charge-taking category. Part of the reason could be that we don't allow the penetration in the first place, but it could also be that we just aren't trying very hard.
