That was very interesting... Ben Wallace decides to stay on the bench so McDyess can keep up his great game. Don't know if it is good or bad. I always wanted McDyess ot have this sort of minutes and not to have automatic times for the starters when the bench is doing well or the starters aren't, but the decision coming from Ben worries me.

BTW, McDyess is shooting the second best fg% in the playoffs with 63.6% (+ 13% from the regular season), behind Mo Williams' 68% and ahead of Shaq's 60%. Averaging 11.7 (+4) points 8.3 rebounds (+3) 1 block and 1 assist in 26 minutes (+5). He doesn't necessarily need more minutes but we could involve him more. I predict his points, rebounds and blocks to go up a little more still in an important series.

Unless his fouls go up. Because McDyess is the Pistons official scapegoat. Every situation they treat him like a rookie against MJ.

Lindsey has been playing great as well. Delk has been good too, but Lindsey has been especially good. Defence seems as good as it's ever been. Always making smart/big plays. Running the offense well. Shooting well. He's been doing it ever since shortly after he came back and had the flu and all that other stuff.

When our line up was like Lindsey, Delk, Evans(?), McDyess, Ben/Rasheed at different times we played our best the whole night. We got better results at the end of the game but I thought we were kind of fortunate things were going our way then.

Still, Lindsey gets 7 freaking minutes. Ben, could you please also tell Saunders to keep him in when he does well? It's as if Saunders thinks he can only risk playing Hunter (and other bench players) so long or the world will explode, totally irrespective of how they play.

The bench playing pretty well and the team not dominating means a combination of two things. They aren't getting much time and it's actually the starters not playing up to their usual standard.
