It was already mentioned but Will Blalock's score on a drive was super pretty.

The kid may not be the next Steve Nash, but the Pistons might be wise to continue the experiment of having him on the roster and see if he can get a little better with some seasoning.

Even as a backup PG, he might turn out to be a very good value.

You should have heard WDFN rip him during an interview a couple weeks back for writing a new book with Denny McLain.

Oh wait, you can...

And yeah, "hoheeho" is another classic goof.

I was listening and it was classic self-serving Eli, especially when Wojo asked him why we should give a crap about Denny anymore.
ELI-retrospective: Al Ackerman was the big cheese as far as overbearing, opionated sportscasters. Well I believe it was WDIV that brought this rocknroll lookin character to Detroit with the scraggly voice. Thinking to much of himself, Eli thought he was an ESPN personality and left the local scene on numerous occasions. I found it very gratifying and equally humerous to see him now as nothing more than a sideline reporter for a local basketball affiliate!..HOOHEEHO!!!

I've been critical of Blalock, but not because I don't like him. It is obvious that his shot is not very good, so in my opinion, he really needs to establish himself as some sort of scoring threat in order to open up passing opportunities. That drive into the lane with the floater is a good example of something that he could do to become at least a double threat. It also happens to be something that the Pistons don't have... so it would behoove him to do it more.

Tony Parker won two NBA titles, both as a starter without any kind of reliable jumpshot or slick passing skills.

It's only since the Spurs brought in Chip Engelland last year that TP really bettered his mid range and outside game.

So I agree, Will should continue doing what he can do, and hopefully expand his game incrementally.
