i have a feeling this will be a huge blowout that the pistons will win.

Nice Toronto article here by one of my favorite Canuckian Sports scribes, Doug Smith.

ben has let out his anger again. the last time he did that we came off of our slump. it's in a detnews article.

Where's the love for Delf, Lindsey and Davis? We are paying Davis $3.5M to sit on the bench? Delf will be gone as soon as he is a FA. I just don't get Flips rotations.

Delk is starting to look like a black hole. He isn't even looking to pass.

Obviously I want a guy that can come off the bench and score, but it needs to be within the offence.

I agree with you about Delfino. GIVE THE GUY SOME FREAKING MINUTES ALREADY!

Another DNP for Hunter as well. How is the guy going to play himself into playoff shape if he doesn't play?

Man, Flip is REALLY starting to piss me off!

Nice line for Dice with 16 on 8 of 12 in 33 minutes, though he did manage to miss four free throws. Six boards, couple of steals and a couple of blocks too. Hot shooting from Rip and Chauncey keeps the kids ahead despite giving up 16 offensive boards. Sheed was even hitting the boards before he got into foul trouble.

Very short bench again, Dice, Delk and Evans. I tried for a while to watch only Evans to see if I could convince myself that he should be in the game with Delfino on the bench. Nothing doing though - minimal energy tonight, fairly lackluster defense, and by and large no involvement in the offense. Good three point shooting from Delk, but 1 for 7 from closer in.

If the Pistons rebound better, they're probably up by 15-20 in the fourth instead of 7 half way through. A win is a win at this point though.


I could be mistaken, but on Sheed's second foul, which he admitted (raised his hand and all), when the guy missed the first, Sheed seemed to yell - "no, I was wrong, ball don't lie, no foul".

Got to say that even though I seem to be on him a lot, I do love to watch Sheed.

Flip hates defense.



I can see not playing Lindsey, because Delk is a downgrade on D (though still solid), but a massive upgrade on offense. But Evans over Delfino? That's a joke at best. Dale has also proven that he's willing to nut up and grab some boards (something that is desperately needed), so why continue to DNP him? It's getting ridiculous. A rotation of Delk/Delfino/Dice/Davis would be perfect. Dice/Delk for offense and Dale/Delfino for lockdown D. Yet he consistantly goes to "no D" Mo Evans for 15+ minutes a game. It blows my mind.

Good call VT, even more points than you thought. All those 3s.

Did I say the Pistons would go 75% from 3 yesterday?
They shot 71.4% tonite and about 85% while the game was in limbo.

Sounds like it was a great game with Detroit stretching the Raptor's defense to the breaking point on all those 3's. Hi to all in the chat room, sorry for the repeated login and logouts. I was on a computer in the library out here in Utah that wouldn't install the flash player correctly, so i could read your posts but i couldnt write anything. Thanks for the play-by-plays though, it's great to have something that reliable when you can't see the game live.
