		<description>American Prince - Valid point! But i would still settle for those contested-turn-around-fade-away-base-line shots rather than the three pointers he usually takes (and often misses). If you noticed yesterday, the wiz were sending double teams at him and he would take the shot. What that shot could create is a free piston to crash the boards. I think that opened up a lot of offensive rebound opportunities, which i believe contributed to our winning of the offensive boards, 16-5. 

I agree he should have at least two more post moves aside from that that he should use, so that the opposing teams would be kept guessing. I suggest he try using Tim Duncan&#039;s baby hook and bank shot or karl malones fade-away shot from the free throw elbow.

On a final note, he should leave the three pointers to Rip and Rico Suave.</description>

		<description>American Prince- I disagree with your comment about Rasheed. I love when he&#039;s down low taking those turnaround faders in the post- they&#039;re very high percentage shots for him, and I think most of us can agree we prefer seeing him doing work down low.</description>

		<description>Two big games from Walter already this season. I (and many others) expected Detroit&#039;s bench to step it up this season but I didn&#039;t think it would come from Walter! But it&#039;s great that he&#039;s playing well. Good to know we finally have a servicable backup for Prince at the 3-spot. Hayes was ok but too 1-dimensional. Walter is like... 7-dimensional!

I didn&#039;t get to see the game but how did Kwame go?</description>

		<description>Our defense needs to improve, 109 points for the Wizards? That can&#039;t happen against better teams.

Walter was so fun to watch on offense, like the Hated Steve said, we all were thinking Herrmann should have been moved up over Hayes. And you&#039;re right Natalie no way would Walter have been out there last year. But he has to improve on defense, especially on the pick and roll. He can&#039;t just leave his guy every time. But I think they can improve that.

Kwame Brown is FAST! Now I understand what Dave Cowens was talking about.

Sheed was a beast, but he&#039;s gotta get himself easier shots to make, he can&#039;t shoot contested turnaround fade away shots all the time and expect to make them. But those 6 blocks were awesome.

I&#039;m glad they were getting shots for RIP he does so much work he&#039;s earned his shots, we didn&#039;t really feature him last game.

Who the heck were the fans that left in the forth? I didn&#039;t say nothing about the Indiana game when they left but this was a great game to watch and I&#039;m sure play, why would they leave early?

And where&#039;s the chat room?</description>

		<description>In regard to Fluidics, I didn&#039;t really see it that way.  First off, kudos to the starters for really coming out focused and energetic.  The bench didn&#039;t seem to start off with the same energy they usually bring, but they still acquitted themselves well.  Kwame made some nice plays, but there are still things he needs to clean up which will come with time and familiarity to our system, I think.

What it seems to me is that the Pistons are showing they are grasping Curry&#039;s offense.  What happened, however, is that Washington upped the defensive intensity.  So initially, you had the Pistons running the offense to perfection but then Washington began taking away the first options in the offense.  The Pistons then struggled with the second and third options which led to turnovers.  What this means is it&#039;s a work in progress.

So long as I see continued growth, I will be a very happy camper.</description>

		<description>Based on his preseason play (albeit limited preseason play), I thought Herrmann should have secured the small forward spot.  In games last year where Jarvis Hayes actually shot the 3-ball well, we blew teams out.  He just wasn&#039;t consistent enough and I think Herrmann can bring that consistency as well as the other intangibles he brings.

Amir had a rough game, but I expected it.  Washington is a tough matchup for him.  They have beef on their frontline when healthy in the form of Etan Thomas and Brendan Haywood.  Skills wise, Amir matches up better with them, but they would probably be too strong for him.  I actually thought he did pretty well guarding Jamison, who is a tough cover for anyone.  Jamison&#039;s game seems to be predicated on making difficult shots.  He has always caused problems for any Piston defenders, not just Amir.  The majority of Amir&#039;s fouls, however, came on the offensive side.  I&#039;m sure the coaching staff will work with him on that.  It&#039;s not like Johnson is leaving us hanging, after all.  We have a deep team so he can go all out because the guys on the bench can pick up the slack.</description>

		<description>Well they don&#039;t always put the new number up, I&#039;ve been to tons of games.

It was a good game, but it irks me that they were stepping on the wizrads throats, and let them up, take teh lead, and score over 100 points. They need to get these teams down, and knock them right out.</description>
