I am looking to see how Flip plays the bench, especially tonight. Look for Utah to play their bench, they have a pretty good one.

As stated the Jazz gives us fits, however I look for CB to abuse Fisher. Let`s match the Brahma against Boozer and see what happens!!!!!!!!

Chat opening soon, Roscoe? Bulls-Bucks is on at 8:30.

Bucks have been doing very well. I never even really looked at their team, but it's very solid right now. Once they get Simmons back they could be a team that could very likely pull off a series victory in the playoffs. I don't think Stotts is a good coach though. Porter was better.

Wow, Alaa Abdelnaby in the house on NBATV.

So Joe D is traveling with the team... I don't recall him going out west before... scouting trip?

This trip should show the metal of the bench... keeping an eye on how other teams benches score.

Great game... no problems... well maybe a better job of switching the picks.
Sometimes ya just gotta give the other guys credit... they shot the lights out tonight.

Tough loss tonight. Can't fault the effort. Lost by 2 with a near miss by Billiups if it would have counted.

Lost 3 points on no tolerance free throws and a bit of home cooking in crunch time when Sheed backed off on Memo causing him to take about 5 steps but Memo threw it up and in plus got the call.

One of those road losses. Still a lot better than last season against this fully healthy and playing great Utah team.

The good news is that there is a lot of talent on this Piston team.

We were out executed by a slower, less-talented group.

At times, Chauncey, Rip and Dice should have sat as they were out-of-sort at certain moments. Where was the leadership from the bench?

The defensive concept is lacking including time times that we zone. We can't allow that many easy baskets even in the regular season.

Our offensive sets get jammed up at key times and we turn the ball over.

We played well enough to win by 10 but lost.

well... you cant win em all. seemed like offensive fouls, missed FT's, and sketchy calls killed us down the stretch. looks like sheed had a monster game and our bench was solid. if rip hadn't been having an off-game we probably would have won. but i only saw the second half, what did we look like in the first?
