Someone should probably go this, get courtside seats, wear their pistonsforum.com t-shirt, and scream for the Brahma.

Game is on FSN, CHAT is open.

If you don't get the game on TV (like me, boohoo) you can listen because Audio League Pass is free in the Preseason.

Man Will Blaylock is nice. Amir, J-Max and Will Blaylock are really fun to watch and make these pre-season games entertaining. Nazr may actually make us a better team than Ben did considering the coaching philosophy.
We could actually have a pretty good bench this season. I think Max is as good as anybody else's backup PF and Dyess is better than EVERYBODY else's backup PF/C.
Delfino is struggling with his confidence and does not seem sure of his role like everybody else on the bench
Dyess - Knows his role as vet leader, good enough to start.
J-Max - jus give him the ball baby.
Flip 'Have ball, will shoot' Murray - Will play any role as long as he can shoot.
Will Blaylock - MAN WHAT A PG!!!!!!!! Lawd Ha' Mercy that kid has the ball on a string, and can dribble through a key hole. I'd really like to see him get some legit consideration at the backup PG spot in the beginning of the season and give Lindsey some rest. We know what Hunter can do, let's give Blaylock a shot at surprising some folks, what do we have to lose, he's earned it the last 2 games.
Delfino- in the last few games looks to be the wanderer, not really sure of his role or his game. Not knocking him or the coaches just stating what I see.
But with Blaylock on the Pt, allowing Flip to play the scorers role at the 2, the Brahma and Dyess gives us a very aggressive 2nd unit and 9 players deep. Our potential depth could really help us get back to the finals.

Really impressed with Blaylock. I can't think of any reason not to play him every night. He brings a much needed pure point guard skill set, doesn't seem intimidated at all and he has got to be able to defend better than Arroyo.

Delfino is a facilitator and needs the ball in his hands to be effective. I don't think Flip will ever give him the ball and call for a screen and roll. He would be doing himself a favor by going to Joe and asking for a trade.

That box score looks crazy. Everyone, except for Delfino, had a good, efficient game.

Amir had 6 boards in 11 minutes? Maybe that will be what gets him PT.

Flip has the perfect opportunity to develop the deepest team in the NBA. They can all play and they all seem to have different strengths.

A 2nd unit of Flip, Lindsay/Blaylock, Delfino, JMax, and Dyess would be a great uptempo line.

reading this is getting me down. I busted on the flip murray acquisition for this reason. He is far better at what he needs to do than delfino is while delfino may be that guy that could do a whole lot of things better in the long run. Its not flips fault or Flips fault or Joe's fault...Delfino has to finish better. I really hope delf gets the minutes to find himself on this team...at that point, he either gets it done or he doesn't

I'd like to see him do a point forward thing with lindsey in for defense and some spot shooting.

He'll get a chance every preseason game. Hopefully he steps up the last games so he can have time in regular season games to help this team win. It's just like a basketball game. He's losing right now, but the game is not over.
