This trend actually reared its head during the Phoenix game and has been present the last 3. I didn't figure they'd make it out of the Houston game, but they have managed to make up for it tonight.

maybe we needed this. We've been doing this too often-waiting until the fourth quarter to turn it on. This will teach us we can't do that against good teams.

they're making dampier look like a god tonight.

only 9 assists on 21 field goals.

I know are boys are capable of coming back from anything and that the streak had to end sometime, but just NOT like this, sheesh!!! I'm not even at a place where I can see this apparent mess that's going on (maybe that's not such a bad thing) right now. If you really think about our guys were a bit out of it last night as well, the point production was vastly off from what we had been putting up previously. Our days of barely getting over 70ish points were suppose to be over, right? Irregardless folks you can bet your last dollar you won't catch a TRUE blue Detroit Pistons fan like me jumpin ship!

FYI

Georgia Tech-Miami on ESPN lookin like a good choice for channel flippin

but we really should consider playing our subs in the fourth if we're still down by >20. There's no sense in overplaying our starters when we have no realistic chance at winning. Clearly, they need some rest, and someone's more likely to be injured in a messy game like this.

Not to sound like a quitter but it certainly sounds like the logical thing to do.... DEFINITELY just not worth the risk!

Well, screw this, I've watched about all I'm going to of this crap for tonight. I want to try to enjoy my Sat.

I'm hitting the strip.

Knowing the Mavs, Dirk will keep shooting and the Mavs will leave most of the starters in so everyone will know that they gave the Pistons an old fashion buttkicking . They won't make to the finals, but I am not sure if Pistons would want to see them there anyway....
