Arroyo had trouble with Parker last game, but gave us a few points and 4 assists.

Delfino just played 5 minutes last time.

Evans played 15 minutes. Shot 3 for 6, 4 rebounds.

Rip will guard Parker a lot, as he always does. This does not make him our point for this game though. No way. Rip will be too busy finding screens to come off. Tay or Delfino will act as the point on offense if CB is sitting.

thats cool. acker can dress and sit on the bench with darko and Davis.

Yeah, they had to dress him though. If Delfino or CB come up lame, there has to be someone who can run the point. Shifting Rip or Tay just creates more holes.

ASB has updated his blog on the Acker situation. Be sure to check it out to get the lowdown.

The following is from a short time ago from Blakely;

Color me intriguied. Too bad it's against SA.

Is anyone else AMPED for this game? Even though I'm borderline comatose, I will be PUMPED UP by the tip. In a season where the Pistons have been so good, it's hard to get up for anyone who is not a legitimate contender.

GO PISTONS!!!

Oh, and GAME CHAT IS OPEN!

Acker's main strength is his shooting. I am not sure about his ability to handle the ball in a game like this and his defense could use some work.

what is flips love affair with evans. there is no way he should be getting more minutes than delfino. he is darvin ham with a jumper. well he used to have a jumper haven't seen it lately. delfino played pretty good when he was in there. yet flip consistently gives evans more minutes.

evans is not earning the minutes he is getting in my opinion.

I know I am biased... but can the guards for SA get anymore calls... atleast we are learning to play thru what I perceive as bad calls...

And can we finnally start to put to bed the notion we can't play defense like we used too?

And dang we didn't out rebound them by 27 this time.... only 24? better start working on that in practice....

Nice win, now lets put a little run together.

ginobli and parker get so many weak calls it really makes you sick. the refs were not calling the game both ways. ginobli smacks rip in the head real hard yet no call. it doesn't matter now though since we got the win.

i'm kinda mad we didn't get to see acker. hopefully he will stay active for the next game and we can get a taste of what another one of our rookies have.

sheed was dominant. rip kept us in it during the 4th. just an good game for us. oh yeah and look at tay grabbing boards. i think he had a career high.
