time to let the young guys play a bunch...might be worth watching just for this reason.

Bullock shut down for the season, excited to see what Luke can do with extended minutes. He's looked better recently.

On a side note, Reggie Bullock was one of the brightest spots of our season, seems like a good guy off the court too. One of the best value contracts in the league. His development this year was such a welcome surprise.

Luke starting tonight. He gets the pleasure of watching Reggie dribble in circles, then throw a bail out pass at him that's seven feet off the mark with four seconds left on the shot clock.

What a great time it is to be a Pistons fan!

How many times does DSJ posterize RJ tonight? I'm setting the over/under at 2.

Same old SJ.... makes a couple of shots then forces bad shots. Memo to SJ, when three guys are on you someone might be open.

Why did Ellenson only get 18 mins? I don’t care how bad his defence is, he should be getting started minutes when the season is lost with nothing to play for. Tolliver did well for us this season, but he has no place playing 35 mins under these circumstances.

SVG racking up those desperate wins to take the edge of what’s been a horrible season. Can’t wait to see this guy fired. No more old school minds and I wouldn’t even hire Chauncey, I want a young bright analytical mind taking the helm.

The dream of .500 is still alive!

The Mavs forced overtime despite having actively tried to lose. Pathetic effort and horrible coaching. Rick Carlisle's basement is higher than Van Gundy's ceiling.

I don't think there's a reasonable person on the planet that would disagree with that statement. I was shocked when we let Carlisle go, getting us to the conference finals. Of course, Larry Brown followed and won us a title. But, in hindsight, I wonder what Rick would have gotten out of that squad if he had remained in Detroit? We lost to New Jersey in the conference finals, but Billups went down with a sprained ankle early in that series, and we didn't get Sheed until the following year.
