You're welcome. Here's a recap:

I still predict that Sweetney will have a better season than Curry. Just my opinion.

Nice job LanierFan.

I agree with you about Arroyo overpenetrating. That's been his biggest weakness, along with his D, since arriving.

I'm sure as he gets more comfortable with Flip's offense, he'll improve.

i wish i could watch every piston game this year...any suggestions, my bruddas??

Delfino can actually play. Surprise to me. Arroyo the same as in the playoffs--penetrates only to keep the ball and get stuck. Darko can block shots but the other areas of his game are still iffy. He just doesn't rebound well. His usefullness overall to the team's purpose is an open question. Evans can shoot but we really need him for the D. Couldn't gauge his D.

NBA League Pass + NBAtv + Tivo = every piston game.

Just want to take this opportunity to congratulate Flip on his first NBA Championship. Our boys looked good tonight. There's a lot of talent on that team.

Sheed looks like a teenager out there. Guess what? Delfino has Piston DNA. He'll be a baller this year. Maurice Evans is a Christmas present come early. Darko will be playing a lot of minutes this year, especially at the end. He's got it, guys. Still getting the emotional side down. Bosh who? Chauncey, Ben, Tay, Dice. God, I'm feelin' good.

Glad channel 20 didn't televise this thing. They probably would have trained the camera on the hot dog vendor.

I'm very disappointed in this offense. It looks eerily like the Cola's gameplan of having everyone scattered around the perimeter and having Ben as the only one near the basket. We are going to get killed on the boards. Chandler had a field day. Ben will probably go back to leading the league in rebounding, but we will be one of the worst as a team.

Everything was jumpshot after jumpshot after jumpshot. We got hardly anything in the paint all night. If this is going to be our season, it can't continue like this. We HAVE to get points in the paint. If we fail to do that in the playoffs, we are toast. Ben - 1 Post Up; Sheed - maybe 2; Prince - 0 Post ups; Dice - 0 Post Ups; Darko - 1 Post Up & one pass received for a dunk. That's unacceptable. Preseason or not, this is when they are supposed to be working in the things they will be doing on a regular basis.

Sheed and Ben looked good tonight. Chauncey was shooting the ball well. Rip seemed to be moving well. Delfino was 20 times more active than anything he showed during summer league. Darko held his ground well. Evans was unimpressive and Dupree was almost invisible. I also thought Arroyo spent too much time dribbling all over the place
(shocker).

Well, at any rate, there really needs to be more focus on getting points in the paint. After listening to Fred and Greg call the offense crisp with a startling 87 points, I almost fell off the couch. Oh well, I guess I'll just drink more beer during games.
