I wish CB would attack the basket more. He can take most PG off the dribble, if he doesn`t finish he can at least get to the FT line, he does shoot near 90%!

Sheed seemed to be quicker on defense tonight, now he needs a little help. Boy, I hate to say it but now you can see how effective Sheed and Ben was/could be together defending the paint.

Some help for Sheed with the interior defense and some agressive - attack the basket offense and we could be alright........

Man that's true... I didn't think of that but this could be labeled a "Stern loss"

Anyone get blacked out on League PAss? I just bought it last week and experienced my first blackout. Im in Atlanta so I thought the West Coast trip would be fine? anyone have experience with this and can offer some insight?

Definitely a walk by Memo that gave them 4 points including the Cowens tech. Difference maker here in a closely played and officiated game.

Despite the less than inspired play by Rip and CB, the bench looked good and Sheed is played his 3rd good game in a row. Their guard play of Williams, Giricek and Fisher were pesky and outplayed our guards. Williams and Fisher had more assists (14) than our whole team Ouch!!

Once again we even out rebounded the opposition for the 4th straight game, but a key block and a TO killed us in the last minute of play.

Based on what I saw tonight, the rest of this trip should produce W's

Just as a reminder... lotta folks said they'd gladly take some early losses to develop the bench more.
I've been critical of Carlos... but if he can continue to play at this level then he's EARNED his right to play.

too annoyed and PO'ed to post my recap. i'll snag it tomorrow when i'm calmer, but we got screwed outta this one.

Hopefully someone here chimes in with some advice. Sorry to hear you missed the game. I listened on the radio.

Something that new school fans will have to accept is that this team will always have ref trouble. It is not a sexy team the league wants to promote. If they are going to win, they will have to do it at a disadvantage some nights.

If the Bad Boys could do it in Boston Garden, this team can do it in OooooTaaaaaH.

There's no legit reason to be blacked out... if it happens again you gotta get on the phone right away... they usually will reprogram it for you quickly (at least directv does)

Hello to all ...a single difference this evening has decided the result....shoot jazz 48 pistons 41(2) and 50 vs 33 (3) ...assist 28 - 11...mah


Sorry for my english and .....

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PISTONSSSSSSSSSSSSS FOREVERRRRRRR

No problems here, Kpaav. I have had League pass since 1998 and have never had a game blacked out that I can recall. On occassion the NBA TV has been blacked out when it was playing a Laker or Clipper road game, but then we could find that game on a local independent station. Call your provider and complain like Mercury suggests as soon as you experience it and they should be able to fix it right away.
