The bench played about the same number of minutes in that game as they did in this one, they scored 14 points in that game as compared to 15 in this one, and Lindsey "happened to play well" in that one too.

I watched that dunk... Correct me if i am wrong but maybe he walked. he could have been called for walking. he made an extra step

Who cares?

It was a legal play as officials saw it and he finished at the rim after making a nice move into the lane. That is what counts.

Well, I saw them attacking the rim in the first half and playing great D for pretty much the whole game, both of which were admirable adjustments from last night in Dallas. I also wish they hadn't reverted back to crappy jumpers in the third quarter, but that was pretty much the only thing they did wrong in this whole game.

I have to check, but i don't remember the starters playing as many minutes in that game. Also, Afflalo got crunch time PT.

My problem isn't so much with Lindsey, it's the fact that no one else got any significant time. And i really don't think the bench could've done worse in that 3rd quarter than the starters did.

Maybe Pop watched tape and Flip lulled him into complacency

Re: At SanAntonio Jan 10 8PM

The 22-2 run to end the first qtr was the key to win. The Pistons were able to stretch the lead out to 20 before allowing the Spurs to cut it to about 7 before they finally won down the stretch. Good win to get off the snide.

The first quarter of this game was fantastic to watch. The rest was pretty frustrating, even though we won.

Afflalo - definitely. Stuckey - not quite.

Don't get me wrong Budda, i enjoyed the dunk. I was joking that he might be too hyper that he miscounted steps.
