1200th post says...

You should have replaced the Paul picture with Speedy Claxton anyway, seeing as Paul is out for something like a week or two with torn ligaments in his thumb.

Man, I am never betting on the Pistons again. I have lost just about everytime I have laid the bets on them to cover. Hopefully with Paul out they can take this one early and get the bench some extra minutes cause I think its time the bench starts producing some good stretches.

[Austin Kent]

Well, we are back to our winning ways. Funny thing is Ben is back to his old school ways, today at least. 38 minutes played, 1 point and 12 rebounds.

Arroyo got ejected? How that happed? Wonder if he's going to be suspended.

[Brian]

Didn't get to see the game this is according to the recap.

The Pistons' edge was 80-75 when Arroyo picked up his sixth foul on a drive by Speedy Claxton with 7:43 remaining. Enraged at the call, Arroyo bumped official Rodney Mott, and the guard likely will be suspended in the coming days.

I personally think he should be sent back to puerto rico but I don't think I am that lucky. It looks like Rip was on tonight 12-21 shooting for 30 points.

One of these days I'm going to watch part of a game (caught the tail end of this one at Frickers after work, saw them pull away for good in the last six) and they're going to lose. It hasn't happened yet... I still haven't seen them lose yet... but it is going to happen sometime this season.

Kind of a boring game. Paul looks like a star even with a f'ed up finger. If only he would learn to stop driving at ben and getting his shots blocked.

Anyway rip carried the load everyone else was pretty so so. Arroyo played quite possibly his worst game of the season in my opinion. The foul call that got him his 6th he didnt do anything that could even be considered a touch foul. Needless to say he was pissed, went up and bumped the ref, got ejected. Real ****in stupid. Then chauncey got 6 and he went out. Tay ran the point, I was disappointed they didnt bring in delfino to run it. Delfino didnt get off the bench the whole game.

I too was expecting to see more of Delfino with the foul trouble and ejection of Arroyo.

Delfino was who they brought in when Chauncey went off of the floor with his sixth. I was watching it from Frickers and had just started watching and was surprised they were showing the "1st time in the game graphic" (college/hometown, height, weight, etc.) on the screen.

Outside of the first and second three's I've ever seen him hit, Arroyo played awful.

Him going off on the official though was actually pretty helpful though because from that point on the whistle changed dramatically. Rip was getting fouled every time he came over a screen and they actually started calling it.

Yeah your right, I forgot because I don't think he even touched the ball. Tay was bringing it akwardly down the floor every time.

Yeah, for some reason he's gone from playing well as a part-time backup (splitting duties with Mo) to not playing at all.
