    Down 45-44 at the half.

    Ray is doing most of the damage with 14, while Rashard is yet to really get into the game, although with Prince guarding him I'm not surprised. Petro seems to be doing a solid job in the middle with 8/3 and only one foul in 17 minutes, but predictably we're getting killed on the glass.

    I don't expect us to stick with the Pistons in the second half, but we already look like a much tighter and more efficient unit.

    Huge second half from Rashard, just furtherproof of his growth as a player, but the Pistons have slipped away.

    Still, Utah lost, Minnesota are about to lose and Denver are tied with Dallas at the half, so it's possible we don't lose any ground.

    Why the hell is flip closing out a game at pg? I know Luke isn't a good closer but come on, Flip? We've got three guys (Flip, Ray, Reggie) at the end of the game trying to pad their stats. This is ridiculous.

    That's what I like about Bob Hill, he'll play D if no one else will

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Richard Hamilton caught a pass, missed a 3-pointer and was fouled - by a coach. Hamilton was credited with the basket because Seattle coach Bob Hill interfered with him in what became a four-point possession, helping the Detroit Pistons pull away late in the fourth quarter of a 97-85 win over the SuperSonics on Friday night. "I didn't think he fouled me, but I'll take it," Hamilton said. "It was a major play." </div>

    I'm guessing Flip was in late to try to stop Chauncey from posting up easily on offense.

    that foul (with bob hill and hamilton) was ridiculous, but it was kinda funny when i think about it...how many time has that happened in the NBA?
