Game 3

Detroit 95, Memphis 86

Getting ready to watch the Utah game and see I forgot to post my thoughts on the Grizzly game. Good game by the Pistons. Game felt like they used to feel and the Pistons looked great.

Memphis would not go away, and they were shorthanded. They were down 11 late in the third quarter, and tied it with 5 minutes left. Pistons go on a 14-5 run to end the game. No Gasol and they made it interesting most of the way. Had a good look at Hakim Warrick and see what kind of potential this kid has.

Notes:

Rip had another great game. 3rd in a row, if he keeps this up we will have a very good season. 24 points, very strong in the 4th. Good game Rip, you look like an All Star right now.

Sheed picked up another T, 3rd in 3 games. It was weak, but Sheed you have to know better. It inspired him though as he scored 10 points after he got the T late in the third quarter. That's 2 very good games, and in particular 4th quarters, for Sheed in a row. If he plays like this consistantly, we will be very tough to stop.

Chauncey is quietly becoming a true point guard. He only scored 7, but had 10 assists and really ran the show. Third straight nite of poor shooting. He was 1-9 and 0-4 for threes, I think his not caring about scoring is affecting his shooting. He only played 29 minutes, and sat most of the third out. We will need you to snap out of it Chauncey.

13 each from Maxiel and Mohammed. They fed Mohammed in the beginning of the game, and he hit the first three shots for the Pistons. Looked good too. He makes his free throws too. Maxiel is only going to get better.

Carlos Delfino outplayed Flip Murray again, but I saw something that is very promising. Flip played some point guard and played pretty well. Had 5 assists. If that means that Lindsey Hunter stays on the bench, then I am excited.

About 15 minutes before game time, go Pistons.
