Comments on: Pistons host Magic http://www.detroitbadboys.com/archives/2008-02-19/pistons-host-magic/ A Detroit Pistons blog Sat, 10 Jan 2009 03:09:08 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.2 By: Paul M http://www.detroitbadboys.com/archives/2008-02-19/pistons-host-magic/#comment-125963 Paul M Wed, 20 Feb 2008 22:19:46 +0000 http://www.detroitbadboys.com/archives/2008-02-19/pistons-host-magic/#comment-125963 That was their first loss against the West. Wonder how they'll cope. They have a killer two week stretch where they play Utah, SA, Houston, Dallas, Phoenix, and New Orleans twice. But then their April is cake.

Guess you have to give something up -- do a decent job against Howard and Hedo's offense, but the other guys killed us. I also was glad to see the Celtics lose. Did anyone else see that game? There was a goaltending call at the end (against Denver) which had to have been the WORST goaltending call I've ever seen in my 20+ years watching the NBA. The ball was past the basket and below it. Fortunately, it didn't alter the outcome, but yikes.

It is just the way they are and the way they'll continue to be. Orlando was on fire from 3-land, we weren't. Chauncey continued to try and take the ball down low, only to get blocked or disrupted time after time. I was happy to see some run for Herrmann and thought Primoz should have played too. At least the Cs lost their game against the Nugs! Q Dog The Pistons have a few of these type games each year. It is just the way they are and the way they’ll continue to be.

Like others that have been posting, I would rather see Hayes and Hermann be used based on matchups. Both are capable backups but I think Hermann matches up better against players like Rashard Lewis and Turkoglu and I would have liked to see him be the first SF off the bench in this game. Again, I hate Jack Neis. And I hate Mo Evans. His mouth exceeds his abilities. Waste of good performances by Sheed and Dyess.
