We're up 20 and I dont' feel like we shook these guys.
The OMag won't quit.

Stuckey's gettin it done too. Love this guys game.
Theo in a series that fits him now. Also credit to Flip for being Ballsy enough to leap frog Jarvis and Hunter for Walter. One thing Hermann does that Hayes doesnt, is move without the basketball and make his decisions faster.
Also a credit to Flip for trusting his bench a lil' more. I think his coaching was fairly solid so far.
Dooling does give him fits because he's fast too. But off a screen he can't keep up.Quote:

we're playing like crap. we should be up at least by 24 points by now. oh wait, we are! lol
this is the type of pistons' ball i expect to see. if we can play like this for another 5 weeks, we'll be polishing another trophy soon.
but we've got a LONG road ahead to even have a chance at that. but i'm HOPING that we 'get it' now and we will see much more of this team and not the one we saw early in the philly series.
bench is what really extended this lead tonight- j-max, stuckey, even RATLIFF FCOL have been huge. great game by everyone all around....
i believe his 7th gets a 1 game suspension. then every 2nd one after that is another game......i THINK.

Also I expect mo evans to lose his starting job by game 3.
Lastly SVG lost his poker face throwing Redick in there. A guy he didnt play most of the year. Scratching for a way to match our depth. One of the advantages of playing a deep bench.
Flip Saunders send a rather graphic message in that game.
Fantastic strategy to open things up, and even better rotations.
