Thats one of the big reasons I have been such a Flip guy since we got him. Our team just seems to have a system it can win with easier. Nothing looks as hard as it used to.

Sheed gets it knocked away by Bibby. 25-18 off the run. Tay gets another one. 27-18 Pistons.

Miller to Peja who misses Sheed taps it to Bibby to Wells who gets the runner.

Billups to Rip on the runner who makes it.

Abdur hits from 18. 29-22 Pistons. Last minute of first. Sheed turns it over.

Bibby off to Ben to Sheed who is fouled and will shoot two.

Evans is coming in. Sheed makes the first. Sheed makes the second.

Ben grabs the board to Arroyo who doesn't get it off. Pistons up 31-22.

Rip will continue to have a good night. Bonzi is more of a physical defender rather than a guy who chases someone around, Bibby is too small, and Peja too slow. Kevin Martin may be able to keep up, but since when has that mattered??

Ben wallace 7 rebounds in the 1st quarter

Arroyo late with that last second shot, good. It means it doesn't go against his shooting percentage that he missed, haha.

Jason Hart is their backup. Not bad. I really consider Hart one of my favorite backup point men. He's not a starter by any means, but he's a very good and reliable backup out there. Or at least he has been from what I've seen in recent years, no clue how he's started out this season.

Just looked at the stats... only two Sacramento turnovers. Am I the only person that thinks it feels like at least five or so?

It's refreshing to have a lead and have 3 bench guys on the floor who you know you can still extend the lead with.

Mo needs to blow up on his birthday!

[ChrisWoj]

Mo looks nervous out there. He's moving well, playing hard, which is what we want out of him as a backup. But when he gets the ball in his hands he looks indecisive. In recent games he would have gone right back up with the ball off that board, but right there he looked to dish it out and then froze for a second before being forced to take a weak turning jumper.

-Chris.

And that is what Tayshaun Prince does best... going to the baseline on the right side of the hoop. I don't see why teams don't guard his right side and let a mate cheat slightly to his left, prevent that baseline turn that he does so well. He has to have an 80 to 90 percent success rate going baseline on the right side.

He'll probaly be over the shock of being back in Sac-town in a couple minutes. He should be fine.

Arroyo needs to get it together. Nevermind he just got subbed out.

[casebeck22]

Evans misses the shot. Abdur on Sheed for two. Pistons turnover.

Arroyo gets the foul, TEAM FIRST. Hart misses to Sheed.

31-24 Pistons. Tay scores on the post up.

Hart inside and misses to Dyess. Arroyo is called for the offensive foul on the break.

Sheed turns and scores. It is 35-27 Pistons with nine to go in the half. Martin hits from 20. Six point game.

Timeout.

[kamego]

Mo will get it together. He's Mo.

Arroyo has his nights but we can make due if he isn't playing well against the Kings.
