Guess Who?

Pistons 95, Raptors 76
As expected, good things happened when Michael Curry made the decision to adjust the starting lineup. Yes, Rip was moved to the bench. The biggest impact this trade caused was that Tayshaun was able to move back to his natural position, and guess what? He took over. As you can see above, it doesn't matter who is attempting to cover, be it "The Other" aka gimpy Jermaine O'Neal, or globe-trotting Jamario Moon. Tayshaun finished the game with 25 points on 11-16 shooting.





The guards played well tonight too, even if they weren't huge in the stat columns ( Iverson 11 pts, 4 rebs, 6 ast- Stuckey 17 pts and 7 asts) Howeva, our bigs were out of sync (well at least the starters) were out of sync. Rasheed was 1-6 with 3 points and 2 rebounds. Amir had 2 points and 5 rebounds. Not to worry though





UNLEASH THE BEAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




Hide the women and children!!!!!!!!!

The Baby Eater went off last night in 25 mins of gametime. He scored 16 points, grabbed 11 boards, and had 2 blocks.

Anyways, the game did not look good from the get go. We headed into the second quarter down by the five, but completely dominated the second and third quarters. In fact, Curry didn't really want to mess things up by subbing out the starters, so Rip only got 21 minutes

Other things of note:

  • Antonio McDyess continued his rebounding his strong play, with 10 points and 8 rebounds
  • I did not expect Jermaine O'Neal to play. He did, but not for very long, and he didn't make that much of an impact. Jose Calderon was also out for the Raptors
  • This was the Pistons first double-digit win since Dec. 27th over the Bucks
  • Everyone got a brief glimpse of Nathan Jawai, the only basketball player ever to be chased by a kangaroo
