-No Carroll
-No DJ
-No Rip Hamilton

Could see a Morrison/Herrmann war off the bench. Probably not but . . .

Shannon Brown sighting chances are good

very interested in a few things tonight.

1. how does wallace bounce back from a bad game/benching
2. how does felton respond to trade talks
3. who gets the backup pg minutes, shannon or sean?

Id have to give the backup minutes to Shannon. Im not too sure Singletary can hold his own defensively against Iverson, or Stuckey.

Sheed is giving EO50 fits at both ends already tonight.

ugh...Crash gets beat of the dribble entirely too much for someone as fast as he is.

Looks like we are making a concerted effort to get Crash involved on the offensive end early.

3rd time this year sheed has made okafor look bad. i dont think there is a player in the league that frustrates mek more than sheed.

and sheed always does it looking like he's playing at 50%.

already forced mek into a TO, blocked his shot, drew offensive foul, and scored several post ups.

Rasheed reminds me of Lamar Odom at times. A player with all kinds of physical tools whether it be ability to take someone off the dribble, post up, hit the 3, but plays at times like hes distracted.

We've got to do better on these switches. The Pistons have forced us into mismatches on 5 or 6 occasions with EO50 left guarding Stuckey on the outside, Felts guarding Sheed in the post etc.

Crash playing very simple yet very effective on the offensive end.

4 Bobcats and Maxiell in the middle and Maxiell gets the board.

That's pathetic.

Felts would have a hard time staying in front of Stuckey at the best of times, but with a bung ankle it's going to be near impossible.

I don't know if I've mentioned this before but, the cats seem awfully quick to switch on picks. Sometimes they do it right away without being forced, I think it's an LB thing. I really prefer a Spurs-style, Hedge/help off the ball/get through the screen style of defending pick-and-rolls.
