And as I type Corliss provides great D to force the timeout.

Should I be fearing the appocalypse about now?

Oh and Darvin's CAREER high is 14. And he just go 9 in 4 minutes.

I'm glad somebody came to play. Let's face it, the starters thought the Magic were just going to roll over for us. You have to earn victories in this league, and to me it didn't look like the Pistons were playing hard the first quarter. Orlando had 15 points through 6 minutes, without Tracy McGrady! How does that happen? Answer: When you don't play hard defensively.

Second team came out, and they know they can't get by on talent alone, so they were working hard. Dunkin Darvin with a solid, solid second quarter.

TNT dropped the game and picked up Toronto at Cleveland. Which means the game will be on UPN 50. At least we get to hear Bill Laimbeer call the game tonight.

i was looking for the pistons also, like the cavs and raptors are supposed to be something great, i guess there is some playoff implications.

Orlando's a team where everybody is just trying to pad their stats and are jacking up tons of shots, they'll get their points just because they'll try to shoot the ball 100 times tonight. They are a terrible team because they don't have single player who can even really be considered an average defender, look how many points we have already.

The second unit did provide a much needed spark that the starters didn't come out with.

[DetBNyce]

Mike you may be right, the apocalypse must be near. Elden Campbell made a steal by playing the passing lanes.

Very smart play Rip.

what you're trying to say is they stink. i would think they have to be hoping they get lucky and get a shot at emeka okafor.

Ben needs to dunk with two hands.

[jvanbusk]

MAKE THE FREAKING DUNK.

Seriously, Ben, how hard can it be? All you have to do is drop the ball through the hoop. If you can't do that just lay it off the corner of the square on the backboard.

You mean to tell me that Tyronn Lue being the Iverson-stopper is a *gasp* lie...

[DetBNyce]

Before tonight's game Ben was something like 11-47 from the field, I wonder how many of those shots were missed dunks.

i'm saying the over and under on darko's minutes in the second half is 10. i say under.

[jvanbusk]

I don't know what the score is. Who cares?

But if I'm going to describe the Pistons play in the first half, I would call it: average. That might be overstating their play a little bit. I did not like at all how the starters played in the opening quarter. They looked dead. Whether that's attributed from coming off the big win on Sunday or just the fact they are playing a very bad Magic team I don't know. But their play was pretty bad. This half would have been a complete disaster had the bench not come in and played so well. They provided a ton of energy, and I was very comfortable with their play. Darvin looked especially good. I don't think there was a bench player that you could say played poorly. Now, in the second half the starters need to go out and set the tone, and STRETCH the lead. Let's not let this bad team hang around.
