Make It Stop!

Seriously, I am done predicting easy wins for the Pistons. I'm just done. We can't make anything easy. You know who beat us last night? (We lost 110 -106 in OT if you must know.) We got beat by a Pterodactyl. What? Here just look

You can't deny the resemblance. I dont know how we lost sight of this guy in OT, especially because of the fact that HIS SHNOZ IS HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyways, Mr. Troy Murphy had 18 points and 13 rebounds. He had two dagger 3 balls in OT. Danny Granger was also part of our problem. He had 24 points and 10 rebounds. He played solid defense too, holding Rip to 4-13 shooting for 9 points. T.J. Ford did not start, but was dynamite off the bench, scoring 23 points and dropping 6 dimes. He also grabbed which 4 rebounds, which is unacceptable. Sheed couldn't find his shot. It only became worse in overtime, where he decided to get trigger happy from downtown. And now we have an L.

Stuckey did the best he could to keep us in the game, but he disappears too often. He did score a game high 30 points though. He also grabbed 9 rebounds and had 6 assists. Iverson played well too, finally making almost half of his shots (9-19) en route to 23 points.

One thing really struck me last night. The Pacers have the whitest basketball team in America. Secretly, they are eyeing up Kirk Hinrich, who has been on the trading block. After that, they are one quick trade away from a Don Haskins-esque accomplishment. They could roll out the first NBA all white (and non-foreign) starting lineup seen in many- a -year. Hinrich and Miller at guard, Dunleavy and Murphy, and Jeff Foster in the post. Ahhhhhh, they would be terrible

Other things of note:

  • Arron Afflalo continues to play well in the minutes he is given. He scored 10 points in 15 minutes last night
  • We only played 8 players last night. I have no idea why
  • We took 25 3-pointers last night. Who do we think we are, the Orlando Magic. Rasheed attempted 11.
  • We only made 11-19 free throws
