Re: The Flip Factor
Another article about Flip affects on the team:
Quote:
The Pistons made Paul Pierce look like a bit of a prophet Tuesday night, scoring 67 points in the second half of a 115-100 victory.
A day earlier, talking to the Boston Herald, Pierce made this observation: "The way Flip Saunders has them playing, I think that they are all playing better. I think Larry Brown held them back.

Quote:
...But back to Pierce's point. Billups was asked how much Saunders' offensive philosophy had to do with the Pistons averaging better than 100 points a game this season.
"One hundred percent," Billups said. "I am not saying we couldn't get it going with LB (former coach Larry Brown). We just got it going a different way. Our team now, when we force turnovers, we attack, you know. When we see mismatches, we go after it.
"That has everything to do with Flip's system."
