    Is it just me, or is the Pistons PA announcer really, really bad?

    Francis has the nerve to consider himself a good defender.

    Dissapointing game to watch. Cato's not contesting shots in the paint. Steve's b****ing to the refs again, and is trying to take the game upon himself and ****ing failing as usual. The man's perimeter game has been weak all season and he still jacks it up. Mobley even has shown signs of dropping back to bad habits with a few shots that I questioned he should of passed up. Shots he spent a good few seconds thinking about whether to shoot it with the ball in his hands and a defender in his face. Yao's being timid again and hasn't been getting rewarded since his hot start in the first couple of minutes. I don't understand why they reverted away from dishing the ball inside to him. He had gotten possessions inside after that but they weren't nearly as well orchestrated as his first two made attempts. Yao kinda reminds of Eddie Curry in one sense. He's great when he doesn't have to create for himself all the time, but isn't a guy just yet to dump the ball down into 16 feet out away from the goal and expecting to score everytime. The team in general just lacks good ball movement and movement when the ball isn't in their hands which is even more crucial I think.

    I see it in their play. Steve and Yao both called it in.

    It's not home game and they are not on National TV.

    Just another day in the office. What a bunch of losers.

    The only reliable offensive force on this team is Yao. He may be in a slump right now, but he doesn't keep shooting to cost the team a game. JVG is backing out from go-through-Yao plan, and this is the result.

    HOLY SUCK!


    2nd period:

    Houston Rockets 12 points!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Detroit Pistons 24 points!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


    we just lost the game in the 2nd half. (of course im going to root it out but CRAP)


    we have to have a "shuttem out" quarter and get hot now to have a chance.

    that last quarter was paaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiinful to watch.

    Even the Pistons announcer said, "Halfway through until the Pistons win number 7 in a row." Very cocky. Sad thing is that he has every reason to be confident.

    I cannot believe what the Rox are doing out there. Only positive is Francis showed up to play tonight. He just needs to get the refs out of his head. Arguing and making dumb fouls will kill him if he doesnt get his head in the game. Why dont they post up more. The shots are not going in so why dont they play an inside game or even the pick and roll. cmon lets get it together. Francis needs to take this game over. I liked the intensity he showed in the end of the half. Taking it into the hole and draw the fouls is his game. No one is making the shots so the assist game is over. He needs to create by penetrating more.

    Cmon Rox turn it around in the 2nd half.......

    Houston: 11-36
    Detroit: 18-44
    -----------------------------------------

    Rockets need to move the ball and create more shots.
