| I know you can't win em all...BUT...this one was a real eye-opener regardless of the back-to-back and that they shot the lights out. The D was non-existent as was the O. Few boards, few steals, few assists...and no ball movement Last edited by detteam : 11-19-2005 at 11:58 PM.   |

| Scrubs vs Scrubs part II Well to quote myself, the bench puts up exactly 20 points in the fourth with J-Max leading the way with 7 points. With Dice struggling, Maxiel should be coming off the bench sooner.  Dice 0-5 shooting tonight and killing me every game in my fantasy shooting pct! (Got Kobe too and he has put up 70 shots in the last two games but at least he's giving me points)  |

| game report Gee, the first quarter was a disaster. Our shots are not falling, and everything Dallas put up in the first quarter went in. And if they missed, they got the rebound and still put it in. Is Ben hurting maybe. He certainly is not clearing the boards. Dyess continues to miss shots. Worse, he did not even take a wide open one, so his confidence is about gone. Except for the first minute, Arroyo played the whole 2ns quarter. We cut the lead down some, but we still are down 21 to start the 2nd half. Ain't looking too good at the moment for our win streak. Evans is just flat out the wrong guy to depend on as the main sub for Tay. In this game, he came in and was completely overmatched by Josh Howard. I still say put Amir Johnson in some. We got to develop this kid. Maxiell is another possibility. Darko missed a hook shot, but good to see him receive the ball in the post and get a decent shot attempt off at least. Man the rust is thick from this guy not playing for two years. He also missed an outside shot. Delfino hit a shot, looked ok on defense. None of the bench players stayed in all that long except for Arroyo. Although Evans and Dyess did come in early in the first. Which did not help at all. Again, Evans is too short, Dyess ain't hitting his shots. CB tried to take over the game when nobody else was hitting on their shots, but it was not there. Playing the 2nd of a back to back may be the problem. Man, they can still win this one. GO PISTONS!!!!! game report 8-0. Still pretty good. Oh well, I guess we all knew the Pistons would not go 82-0. We debated about a bench player a lot today. And more debate about others, but our starters got kicked to the curb tonight. We made a start at a comeback in the 3rd quarter. We were a made triple from being just down 15 with still lots of time to go. Just not to be though. Our bench has problems. Evans is too short to play small forward. It will work against some teams, but any team with a taller small forward is going to have an advantage on us. Dyess is doing worse than ever. Worse yet, these are the first two guys the coach brought in off the bench. Not a lot of help. About the only bright spot tonight was some good shooting by Maxiell in garbage time. For the record, Maxiell has yet to play any minutes with the game still on the line. I say its about time to change that, both at small forward instead of Evans and at power forward instead of Dyess. At least some and see how it goes. Darko scored on a dunk and another time on a goal tended shot he got off driving in. Underhand scoop if I recall right. Davis got in the game for a few minutes at the end of the 3rd qaurter, start of the 4th. About it for tonight. Denver is next Wednesday night. GO PISTONS!!!!!

| This loss predictable Dallas was ready for us, period. If I bet pro-sports, it would have been an easy play. I am not worried about Dyss. I remember last year. At this time I told a friend that the guy can't hit a shot. He will be there as the season goes. Our bench in general and our back-up point is an issue. Lee may be right about Evans being small to back-up Tay. And we need to keep Tay's minutes in check. The bench still need more defined roles. I would like to see Delfino more. The problem with Darko is that you can't count on him for offense--he will need time. Don't worry. Denver lit us up last year about this time on the road. |

| I note that Dampier (Dampier!) had as many rebounds as our entire starting five. Yikes! Our guys made him look pretty mighty tonight, and up until this point in the season, he's been underwhelming to say the least. I also note that as a team, we got outrebounded by 21 (47-26). Ugly.  |

Personally, I like what I've seen from MoE so far this season. He can hit shots, he boards, and he has ENERGY! Not a bad pickup for JoeD...as usual. |

| The second unit is lacking sorely in leadership. When Tay stays out with the second unit, he keeps deferring to everyone else when IMO he is the best player on the floor. Better than Arroyo, Delfino, Dice or Darko... |

| -- Box Score The domination on the boards stands out. The fact that we got beat by 37 points and still had 2 more assists is interesting. Delfino 20 minutes, 4 points, zero other stats. Contrast that with Dice, Evans and Arroyo who were all able to at least have some impact out there besides shooting... Another very mediocore effort from Darko. 1 foul per 4 minutes, 1 rebound per 8 minutes. Totally shown up by J-Max in my opinion. Maxiell lead the bench in scoring with only 7 minutes in the second half. 2 steals and 2 blocks is not Detroit basketball. It's not effort defense. I can take the loss, but not the lack of hustle or energy. The bench was very, very, very poor.
