Comments on: Pistons host Hawks in opener http://www.detroitbadboys.com/archives/2007-11-04/pistons-host-hawks-in-opener/ A Detroit Pistons blog Wed, 07 Jan 2009 23:16:30 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.2 By: LawyerBoy http://www.detroitbadboys.com/archives/2007-11-04/pistons-host-hawks-in-opener/#comment-91611 LawyerBoy Mon, 05 Nov 2007 11:32:32 +0000 http://www.detroitbadboys.com/archives/2007-11-04/pistons-host-hawks-in-opener/#comment-91611 Haven't seen the game yet but intend to watch it in full on DVR, and I was merely posing the Rip question because we won the first two games big. Rip comes back and we only win by one as well as put up our lowest point total so far on offense. Again, I have not seen this game, and it's probably just a coincidence, but I'm just trying to have a dialog about how our team offense (and I suppose defense) runs with and without Rip and just trying to infuse a side that I hate to even entertain, let alone actually believe. Don't confuse that for me saying I firmly (let alone even loosely) believe in such an idea.

However, how can nobody have mentioned Maxiell's night? 15 pts. 8 reb. and 4 blk. in 26 minutes with 1 foul and 1 TO? That's a gorgeous statline. He was easily the most effective Piston player. And if Jarvis Hayes keeps playing like this he'll be sixth man of the year. He is seven games away from making a jackass out of me. We're undefeated, people.

The only thing he looks for is HIS shot. I know he had a game the other night, but those are few and far between. Heal soon Rodney. A win’s a win, but my god can Flip Murray be any worse?

Gotta love Sheed's defense, everyone has been having trouble scoring on Sheed let alone getting past him without getting the ball picked off. I think they fired off to many jumpshots early on, I'd like to see some more post action. We a need a guy or two in the paint to spread out the defense.
