He never really fit in w/ Detroit, but I always liked his game; solid defensively, good rebounder, wiling passer. His scoring just never came around like I expected. Part of that was because we tried to make him into a spot up shooter, but he also just never really took that next step. He could get into the paint but couldn't ever finish.
Anyway, should be a good game. I'll be curious to see if we try and keep our starters rested for Boston. Stuckey & Maxiell could potentially get a lot of run this game. And that Sheed/Bosh matchup should be a good one.
He hasn't changed much here. He still takes a lot of ill advised 3 point shots in the face of the defender. He has the ability to slash, but like you said he's not really a great finisher. He makes up for it with his hustle though, often saving Bargnani on the defensive glass.

This is a game that we probably should lose, even on home court...the Pistons are simply a better team on both ends at this point, and without Ford, it will be extremely difficult to get open looks (heck, with Ford it would be extremely difficult).
Then again, it is becoming increasingly difficult to figure this team out; the Raptors have been all over the map in recent weeks, so a win isn't out of the question. I hope to be pleasantly surprised.
