Another 4th Quarter Collapse

Check the box score of this game. It will make you ill. The Pistons beat the Cavs in all of the first 3 quarters, but managed to lose the 4th (and the game) 32-14. The Cavs beat us by 10, 90-80. We managed to shut down the Big Z, but it didnt' matter. Mo Williams had 22 and LeBron had 33 and we just blew it. Iverson scored 22 points, but you get the feeling that he could be scoring 40 each night and it wouldn't matter.

With this loss, we move to 25-21. Yahoo had a pretty interesting fact in their game recap. This is the first time losing 4 home games in a row since 2001. We are playing like one of the worst teams in basketball. The Pistons are not playing good defense. They should have watched and learned from the Cavaliers last night.

There really isn't a whole lot more to say about this. Right now, we suck. Iverson commented on the dreadful play "Our whole thing is, it better be figured out by the time we get to the playoffs." He should stop worrying about then, and start winning some ball games, because at the pace we're at, we might miss the playoffs. We are currently 6th in the East, and 13.5 games behind Boston. The current 9th seed is New York, who is 17.5 games behind Boston. We don't have much of a cushion. We must get our act together, and quick

Other things of note:

• The Cavaliers beat us in rebounds and assists. Every Cavs starter grabbed at least 4 rebounds. Why can't we do that?
• Stuckey and Sheed combined for 15 points. Way to show up guys, shooting 6-20
• Rip had 16 points in 26 minutes
• Amir had a good game, statistically anyways. He had 10 points and 9 rebounds
