Amir had a really good game. 14 points on 5-6 fg and 4-4 ft with 9rbs and 2blks and 2 steals and no turnovers. I wish that he'd be a bit more careful with those fouls, because refs seem to call everything when he is in the vicinity. Stuckey had problems going inside, of course if it was D-Wade he'd be shooting free throws every time. Stuckey needs to work on earning the whistle. J-Max was solid. So was Afflalo. Herrmann seemed to play better than Hayes, but not sure he'll see much if any time in the playoffs.
Less Dixon, more Affalo, and a few fewer starter minutes in the second and this could have been a win. And perhaps the difference between a finals game seven on the road or at home. Nice job by the current top 30 Pistons in demonstrating exactly how much the game has changed since the other groups played. I place most of the blame on those hideous jackets the all-time Pistons' greats had to wear during the introductions. Not exactly the most slimming of styles.
Collins' previous claim to fame was his central role in the Knicks-Nuggets brawl at the Garden last season. Collins committed a thug flagrant on J.R. Smith in the last 2 minutes, which touched off the fight that resulted in Carmelo taking a swing at Collins and then backpedalling all the way to the other side of the court, thus earning him the nickname Carmella.
Now ain't that a change of pace! Well said. McCosky disgusted me when he tried to argue Sheed over Rodman, and I have a natural tendency to favor Sheed!
Did notice during the close-up of Mason as he started his part of the ceremony that he and I have the exact same glasses.
