TJ Ford and Mo Williams. Who is going to stop them? Who is going to deny penetration?

Rip?
Tay?
CB?
Arroyo?

I doubt it. P's can't defend the paint. This one is a track meet and our track stars played too many minutes last night.

Look for the Pistons to start coming back down to earth followed by some tweaks from Flip.

considering it was a 2OT game only 2 starters played more than 39 minutes (Tay, Sheed. albeit in the 50's). most of the bucks starters played high 30's last night as well.

also our bench got some decent run and played well, so thats a positive for tonight. both benches will be needed, so whichever one does best might decide the game.

as for stopping penetration, well thats almost impossible these days with the refs calling it so tight out on the perimeter this season. best to attack fire with fire. give arroyo some run, attack ford (which i mentioned earlier) and put pressure on their interior D.

So, Dale, good luck tonight.

I am glad to see they let Carlos Arroyo work through his rough spots as he is certainly a contributor now. He is now a dependable part of the team. Glad to see that he, at least, has gotten his chance, and that he make the most of it.

Tonight will be my last chance to see the Pistons this season on a regular basis as we are on the way to Florida. We just get a few games down there, the Piston games when Miami and Orlando are involved and the ones on national tv.

So I will be depending on you guys for my first hand knowledge. Keep up the good work, guys.

We'll get u a goinaway present tonight...pistons go old school...88-83!

I don't care if we give up penetration all night, cause we will still challenge the shots. I just want the guys who are run past to get in there and rebound. We must limit the second chances.

We must win.

Realistically, we must be in every game. Or at least try to be. We're tired, they're tired so let's see who comes up big and gets the win and I'm hoping it's us.

Did I miss something? Why can't Darko play tonight?

i think tonight will be the night when darko gets some semi major burn. the bucks will probably not go small and that's the perfect lineup for flip to play darko against. if he doesn't play darko this game then we will be sure that something is up. major minutes for the bigs last game, dice gimpy this is the perfect oppurtunity for darko to get some minutes and show what he has. i'm also hoping jmax gets in there for a little bit of meaningful minutes.

Bill and George make me want to puke. Guys are missing shots and they are calling them Darko blocks. By my count, he has 2, maybe 3. If you listen to the WB announcers, they make it sound like he has 8 blocks already.

Darko's playing very well, but I think when the shot is a miss off the rim, that's not a Darko block...

not a block but definitely an alteration. 3 blocks in 1 quarter is still pretty good. darko is patrolling the paint and the league and definitely the bucks will have to take notice.

darko blew the nice move in the paint but i'm still happy he shot it and had deep position. he's had a pretty good showing in early minutes. as much bad stuff is said about darko i think it's only fair the announcers get behind him a little bit. bill walton made several cracks about darko when he was doing the game just because he doesn't know what type of player darko is now that lb is gone. the league will know soon.

Bill Walton is an idiot.
