Washington Wizards: 21-41 (9-20 road)

Keys for Detroit
Mind the frontcourt -- Blatche may be turnover prone, but he can put up big numbers in a hurry. If the Pistons can make Foye and Miller the primary weapons, it will be smooth sailing,
Get something going early -- This is a game the Pistons can win rather handily. It's also a game they could lose. Get it over with in the first half, and then...
Play Daye - I'm going to cut and paste this for the rest of the season.
Question of the Game
Where are the reserves? Ben Gordon, in particular, has virtually disappeared after returning from injury.

I’m a U of M fan, but I can’t say I’m pissed. They played like crap for the most part this year and really didn’t deserve to be in the Big Dance. But, tough loss regardless.

It's funny
The other day I was thinking about what the Wiz had to build around and I remembered that they had some kid they drafted out of USC but I couldn’t recall his name because I never heard anything about him. I guess draft busts not named Darko don’t get much coverage.

About Kwame
That was such a ridiculous call that I think the ref tossed him so he wouldn’t have to hear about it. How a guy who’s standing under the basket and gets jumped on can be called for a loose ball foul is beyond me. I would have told that ref to fuck off too.
I'm just like a sports reporter, but without the insight or money.
yeah, I agree with Blaha that was worth at least one tech
But hey, per 36, Kwame had 18 and 6! lol

Kwame's attitude toward basketball and the Pistons is just all wrong
the sooner we get rid of him the better.
I realize we're playing the Wizards and all...
But the tempo of our offense is fantastic tonight. Will is doing a great job of pushing the ball, and our wings are running the floor very, very well.
Jason with the block!
If his dunks are eating babies, then his blocks are like an abortion. He blocked that baby out of existence!

Will Bynum => MFWB tonight
A great transformation to behold. He is on pace to tie the Pistons’ assist record (I want to say its 18).
I think many of you guys assume that I don’t like him because of that fanpost, but that is not the case at all, I want him to succeed. I was just tired of him not playing like he was last year (after he looked fully recovered). Way too much dribble the shot clock away and shoot a contested jumper (or dribble into paint and throw it at someone with less than 5 sec on the shot clock), that’s why I said he was playing selfishly.

Great game by Will
Glad that he is healthy, but if this goes for long it could cost us.
I also like that Stuckey can know there is a guy waiting and fighting to get his job.

Pistons single game assist record is 25

Wow Jonas wiht 16 and 8 and 3 assists.
Plus he is the highest with a plus 18

Now this is what I wanted to see from Will
Running the offense, no more stupid drive-run-out-of-options-throw-the-ball-away.
He’s delivering the ball to people exactly where they can score comfortably, and that’s my definition of a true point guard.

That was statistically a terrible shot (deep 2 with both feet on the line).

What happens when Stuckey returns?
Does he go back to the starting lineup like Tay or will MFWB have earned the spot?

if Will could stay consistent while Rodney is out, he might .

Well, Paul is a proven superstar PG but yeah.
I’m just happy the kid is out of his slump. He wasn’t looking too good in the past month.
Where in the world is Cheikh Samb?
Not quite the same lol
Darren Collison is playing out of his mind, but he’s still no where near the caliber of player that Chris Paul is. Once Collison starts putting up 25 and 15 in the playoffs, then we’ll talk.

Wizards were trying to deny him the 20th assists lmao
by Rusty_Shackleford on Mar 12, 2010 10:32 PM EST reply actions
Disagree
They forced a bad shot with under 24 seconds in the game. They didn’t have to do that, they could have killed the time. Instead that gave MFWB an extra possession in which he got his 20th assist.
Also Blaha said Isiah had 25+ assists several times; I think the 18 assists was a palace record (Steve Nash broke it last year) .
by bearded thundar on Mar 12, 2010 10:35 PM EST up reply actions
to other teams/fans that might be uncalled for.
it was like LeBron grabbing Big Ben’s rebound to get triple-double in NY. but heck im happy for Will.

I read somewhere their periods attract bears. Bears can smell the menstruation.
Where in the world is Cheikh Samb?
I think...
this game is the reason the pistons CANNOT tank
We shouldn't tank
But we can’t afford to put together a winning streak either. That would put us in complete no mans land, as we would have a mediocre draft pick and no financial flexibility.

I don't dislike Flips and I don't blame him for what happened in his tenure here.
But I always love to beat ex Pistons of any kind.
Where in the world is Cheikh Samb?
For some reason Larry Brown is who I enjoy beating the most.
Every time I look at Flip is like looking at an orphan, or a homeless dog. I just don’t have it in me to feel anything towards the guy but some sort of pity.

The players did quit on him. That said, I would love to see a fat man wave his junk in Flip’s face.

Alvin Gentry just tried to kill a referee
Detroit Bad Boys- SB Nation's Detroit Pistons Blog
Twitter
Fucking bullshit
Gasol wasn’t trying to hurt Amundsen but that was at least a flagrant 1. The refs threw out Gentry to cover up their own incompetence.
In case I haven’t made it clear over the years, I think the NBA refs are incompetent and only serve to fix the games. See the 2006 Finals. Of course they will get away with it as long as Stern (who only benefited from a goldmine of talent) runs this sham of a league.
I love pro basketball and I obviously love my Pistons but the NBA is going down the gutter.

What an entertaining game
Last night’s game was another of the most fun games to watch of this season. It was worth spending a Friday night on.
When the Pistons pass the ball, their offense flows in a way that leads to pretty plays and easy points. And it seems that their defense is better too, maybe because the opposing team gets fewer fastbreak opportunities, and maybe because the players’ heightened sense of confidence on offense translates into greater defensive energy and intensity.
It was great to see Gordon finding his shot a little bit again. They need that desperately from him.
