    Right there on NBA Leage Pass. 3:45 left in a tight game and the Pistons (how many can you name besides JYD Williams? an automatic "F" if you say Grant Hill)....the DETROIT PISTONS shut down down Van Excel's high screen with La Fraentz not once..not twice.. but FIVE times in a row.

    Van Excel got lucky on the 6th try when they went to a postup of Lenard. Lenard fell down and blocked off two defenders as NVE went to the basket for the eventual game winner.

    Man, I hope someone on the Rockets was watching. The answer was so clear and simple. The post defender (BEN WALLACE!!) jumped out from behind La Fraentz BEFORE Van Excel could start his move around La Fraentz. Van Excel never got momentum into the lane and had to give ground and take the ball to the other side of the floor.

    It was beautiful..5 times in row!! Can you insiders pass this along?
