That's the story of his career so far. He's lazy on offense and settles for far too many long jump shots. His only points were on a nice move to the basket in garbage time.

We had another very slow start and Golden State came out ridiculously hot beyond the arc. It took them all of 5 minutes to build a 20 point lead and it was game over.

BINGO.

I, too, don't understand why the offense didn't continue to go to Prince. He's historically given the Warriors fits. Warriors were desperate enough to put J-Rich on him for defense. He's the only guy who was hitting shots for the Pistons in the first half.

Warriors were hitting everything...it was ridiculous.

Good luck the rest of the way, Pistons fans!

Not to take anything away from the Warriors here, they were outstanding, but as a Pistons fan, that is the problem. Really, only Prince was offensively decent, and he only shot seven times. The frontcourt disappeared, Chauncey wasn't shooting very well, Murray was a nonfactor. I hope Rip comes back soon, he has been pretty stable on offense this season and I think Murray is way over his head in a starter role.

About halfway through, we just started throwing our bench at them, and the one plus side of the game is that Maxiell and Amir did pretty well. The game as a whole reminded me of our first loss last season against Dallas. Flip eventually just turned to the bench and we lost by 35+. But Golden State isn't Dallas. We have a four day rest before our next game, so fatigue was the only problem here. Our home game run isn't very easy either (NO, Washington, Houston).

My predictions regarding this roadtrip were completely off. I thought we'd struggle against Utah and we came close, I thought we'd catch Sacramento while they were still struggling and they stifled us, I thought the Lakers could be dangerous and we slammed them, and I thought Golden State would be the easiest win and they handed our *** to us. Maybe I should stop making them.

Yep

Was it really this bad? Geez... Went in for an emergency appendectomy (yet another in my long line of serious health issues this fall)... the least the team could do was win one for the Wojer.
