    I so wanted to turn this game off at halftime. Great comeback, no doubt. Sheed and Max grabbed every rebound in the 4th.

      That 3-2 zone put the Warriors in a bind once they started missing those contested 3s. Plus the Pistons being in a zone defense prevented the Warriors from running those high pick-and-rolls to death like the Blazers had the night before with great success.

      And the Pistons rebounding effort was great in this game when you consider that the players had no box out responsibility since they were playing exclusively zone defense during the latter part of the second quarter and also throughout the second half. It's more difficult to keep teams off the offensive rebounds because of that.

        Ha ha, I admittedly didn't make it through the Blazer game. I did stay up last night and was rewarded. Good points on the rebounding guys.

          The Pistons are now 6-4 after having the first eight of ten games on the road and going through numerous injuries to starters. Not bad, but it could've been better consider that the team should've won against the Kings last night. Free throw shooting was horrid, and once again we didn't do a good job of defending the high pick-and-roll play. Ben Udrih just killed us whenever Sacramento ran this play.

            Ya bro, that was a bad loss last night. They have to win a game like that. Oh well, at least the bench seems to be developing a bit. Hopefully they clean up at the Palace in the coming weeks.

              I think the Pistons are about to go on a run pretty soon. This month finally everyone should be healthy including Stuckey. Rip will slowly turn around. After watchin this bench this year I still think they take the East.

              Man I wish Billups was aggressive every game. Im watchin the Jazz game and he is bullying Deron right now.

                  What a game by Maxey! Good balance overall.

                    Yeah, Maxey is getting it done this year. He'll be up in the running for 6th man of the year if he keeps it up. I also like how the guards are finding bigs in the lane on their drives to the basket. This year Chauncey is penetrating and dishing the ball in ways he really hadn't before. His passing game is starting to evolve, which only makes the team better overall.

                    And it's kind of funny for me to see Sheed roaming at the top of the zone. But that was what Flip Saunders used to do with Kevin Garnett too. Just another nice wrinkle added to throw off opposing teams.

                      The more I see Maxiell play, the more I like him. HE looks so heavy but damn, what athleticism. Pistons are straight ruining the Hawks right now.

                        Great comeback after a slow start. 4 wins in 5 nights. Not too shabby. The Bulls could use Tyson. He is a force.

                          There is an interesting weblog entry posted by Chris McCosky. And this was posted before the Hornets game last night.

                          In case you missed it

                          It's good to know that coach Flip Saunders and the players are working together when devising plans and strategies during games.

                            What's the timetable on Stuckey's return?

                            Edit: Damn, found it on USA Today: "no earlier than the first week of January".

                              I never liked the Nazr signing, thankfully Joe D found someone dumb enough to take him and the 22 mil left on his deal for expiring contracts. Good job Joe.

                                Agreed, Joe D. is showing Izzy how it's done.
