    So that was dissapointing, especially the third quarter.I think we should have went with what was working for us, and that was Arroyo and Hill on the court at the same time for a long period. In the second quarter that worked for us, and we did good with them two out there together.Arroyo, Hill and Turkoglu all three played well througout this entire game, and I was impressed with the three of them. Darko and Dooling played well for the final quarter, but really didn't do much before that. Those 5 are really the only five that did anything that I felt was worth mentioning. The rest of the team didn't play well, Howard was not aggressive, Nelson was not aggressive as much as he should have been, and when he was aggressive his layups were not going in. We played well for three of the four, unfortunately that third quarter really killed us, and we are not going to play catch up very well on this team. They play good defense, hit their free throws, and have three guys that can hit big shots to halt runs. Especially Billups who has always done it.

    Good win for Detroit. Going up 2-0 is huge. I doubt Orlando will be able to come back, as we have shown we can stop Dwight Howard fairly easily.

    Hedo looked great...He was hitting his shots, and he made some very nice ball fakes to fool his defenders, and to get open looks. Great night for Hedo...he was absolutely lights out. Darko also did well...The kid is very talented in the post for a 21 year old...He's got great touch, and he's learned some pretty good moves too...The Magic probably would have won this game if Dwight and Jameer had respectable games. Dwight was just hampered, and he wasn't able to do anything...Pretty embarassing game, isn't he supposed to be an all star? Come on Dwight....And for Jameer, he just couldn't hit shots...I personally think he's a below average starting PG in this league. He can;t pass compared to other points...He does have a decent shot, but I find it to be pretty damn inconsistent...You can't deny his quickness....He should be a pretty good scoring PG when he matures...Anyway, for the Pistons, I thought Chauncey was great...He had some great passes, and was able to score in every way imaginable...His shot was definately on yesterday...Tayshaun and Rip also had good games...Rip did his thing, getting to the line, and nailing shots. He might be the best mid range shooter in the game....Tayshaun also did his thing...He made a couple of shots...didn't try to force anything, but he had a really productive offensive night.
