Did we play perrrrfect ball and it was all the refs fault?

You know it's gotta be time to give Mr. Carlos Arroyo his due props.

The man is not turning it over... he been a pleasant surprise with his consitent scoring... and the assist speak for themself...
What the hell are we waiting for.. let's give the Puerto Rican some luv!

If you saw the clubhouse piece today you know that C.A. is one of the main men keeping it loose... The dude is a card. lol

Alright .. so he ain't the defensive stopper... I'm here to say that C.A. is a major asset for all of his other contributions...
How bout that PRBALLER!
GREAT!!! I'm happy for him. Didn't get to follow the game ( took my wife and some friends out for dinner and dancing), but I kept telling you guys Arroyo will prove the doubsters wrong. Way to go, CA!!!!! Now, where is Max????

My take

Our starters played 98 to there 124, thats including Arroyo, and Dale. why was Chauncey, and Ben out anyway? even though Dale started Darko played more than him with 38 minutes. yet again I don't even care that we lost because its the preseason.
From what i've seen this preseason our bench has a lot to give us:
-Carlos Arroyo: Very great passer(12 assists against Minnesota), and he will make his opponent gaurd him because he can score good, and he can't expect him to only pass. Also a good ballhandler.
-Maurice Evans: Even though he's small for his position he has the ability to block shots, and rebound very well because of his athletic ability. He can gaurd people well on the perimeter, and he can take the opponent to the hole. most of all though he can be the perimeter shooter we need of the bench he can hit that mid-range, and that 3 very well(17 points in the 2nd quarter).
-Carlos Delfino: Good ballhandler, and a very good slasher, another thing this team needs, he can hit that open shot drive to the basket as well. he needs to do a better job of sticking with his man, but he can rebound well and steal the ball too.
-Darko Milicic: Very good interior defender he blocks shots very well, and gets rebounds. Good shooter for a big man, and he has the ability to go in the post and create damage. Good free-throw shooting for a center, and he's a very good paser for a big man.
-Jason Maxiell: He was a good shotblocker in college, and he in time he might become one in the nba. He can take it to the to the hole very well,a nd he has shown he can hit his jumpers even down the stretch of close games.
-lindsey Hunter: he'll dog the other opponents gaurds and create a lot of turnovers.
-Ronald Dupree: Gives us a lot of hustle, and he can jump very well and get boards and finish close to the hole. He's improved his jumper a lot.
-dice: we know he'll do good in the regular season and playoffs. He can get boards hit the outside jumper and hit that turnaround about 50% of the time.Plus he has a lot of experience in big time siuations. 6th man of the year.
-amir johnson: have not seen much of him. Has a lot of athletic ability, and people say he's very good so in time he ,ight help this team.
-dale davis: He'll give us leadership and some interior defense plus he can still score.
-Alex Acker: if he makes the team he'll give us a good jumper, good asists, and some defense. He just needs to learn to not waste time by holding the ball too long. I hope we can send him to europe, an them get him back.

LOL...
Maybe He's got a pic of the bench taped to his monitor?
That Argentinian Fella does look fairly daper in Red, White & Blue.

Arroyo had very impressive numbers. If he plays like that every game the Pistons would win over 60 games. I will gladly take more Piston wins instead being right any day.

I,m not expecting Arroyo to put this numbers in a daily basis, though it would be nice. Still, he'll be way better than last season. It's all good, my man. We are rooting for the same team.

Yes we are. I mentioned recently that even if Carlos gets traded, I want you to stick around.
