Wallace reported that his ankle is "75 to 80%." Asked if the Pistons can win with Wallace in that state, Saunders responded with praise for reserve forward Antonio McDyess.

"The one guy that played pretty well (Tuesday) was McDyess," Saunders said. "We're going to probably start trying to ride him a little more, and use 'Sheed in certain situations."

What was that? An adjustment? A move that could upset one of his players? A move that takes backbone? I bet he doesn't follow through on this one. It would be out of character for him to risk upsetting Rasheed and making him not want to have play dates with Flip anymore.

Isn't that Zo's left arm shoving Lindsey while he's driving? No call, huh? I wonder if Dice did that to Payton.

Does anyone else here wonder why Zo and Dice had similar careers, similar career threatening injuries (although Zo's was more life threatening), similar comebacks, and yet Zo, who is not considered such a nice guy league wide, can literally punch you in the face without getting called for it, while Dice has had a foul called on him every time he's breathed near anyone ever since he came back from injury. Am I the only one who thinks these two are officiated TOTALLY differently? I have no clue how Zo doesn't foul out of every game.

We have to get back to having more fun on the basketball floor," he said after the Pistons' short film session Wednesday. "A lot of times when we're great on that floor, we're out there smiling and we're out there laughing and we are all out there having a good time."Right now, it's not like that. It's like, 'Aw man, we're fighting for everything.' "

maybe it's that simple. let's see the guys play loose and move the ball on the offensive end. our defense has been adequate and we all know our offense is putrid.

If Walker and PAyton both score over 10 points, Im going to go nuts and then kick Flip in the nuts

can we just whoop their asses tonight? i'm so tired of hearing the media blast the Pistons as saying they're done. if this team starts hitting their shots and finally playing like the Pistons we saw for 82 games, i really don't see much of a problem w/ Miami.

let's steamroll these punks and send Wade home crying.

I demand this happen. I'm tired of watching the ups and downs. And I also want to see somebody step up physically and respond to the hard fouls and Mourning's flexing.

we're gonna fuck these bitches in the ass. fuck th heat. this is our game.

Please Flip... go inside early. If Sheed's got his panties in a bunch, then give the ball to Tayshaun in the post. They've just got to try to get something easy to start the game. I hate how they seem to love to start games with 20 footers everytime. This method never works.

i really hope Tayshaun continues to attack the basket. draw fouls on Shrek. also, if everyone will just pump fake once when driving the lane vs. Flexo. he falls for that everytime.

i think tonight's the night we break out of our offensive slump.
