Larry Brown talking to reporters this morning when Pistons Rip Hamilton walked by. "Greatest coach of all time right there," Hamilton said.

Bobcats starters Wallace, Jackson say they'll play vs. Pistons. Flip Murray (ankle, family matter) is out.

[Timone]

Is Flip related to Brittany Murphy?

Too soon, TBeau. I just stopped crying.

[Uncle Mxy]

So Ben Wallace makes all his FTs while Stuckey and Bynum miss half theirs...

Clever. Devilishly clever.

[Kstat]

a bad team beat a worse one. End of story.

[Glenn]

Horrible game to watch, just horrible.

[Kstat]

Stat of the night:

The Pistons got 9 steals in the 4th quarter. NINE.

Off of those 9 steals, they went 1/8 from the floor for 2 points, and 0/2 from the FT line.

I didn't even think that was possible. 9 steals in a quarter and you only get 2 points out of that?

[shags]

The injuries are catching up to us now. That, and we're a bad road team.

The bright spot was Chris Wilcox.

[Kstat]

More than that, we're a terrible shooting team.

It wasn't their intensity, or level of play. They are simply incapable of making open shots. There are three pure shooters on this roster, and all three of them are hurt.

So... the closest thing to a double-double by anyone on the team was 8 boards and 6 points by Ben, and 2 players scored in double digits. That does sound painful to watch.
