L(89-90)
The pistons lost again tonight to the San Antonio Spurs. For those of you who didn't watch this game, you didn't miss much. Tim Duncan made 17 points and 14 rebounds tonight, as for the Pistons's Rasheed Wallace receive his 18th tech so he will be out for the game on Sunday--Pistons vs. Bucks. Also coach Flip Saunders (and I think Chauncey Billups) received Technical fouls. Before halftime we were able to lead by two; after that it was just horrible: a lot of miss free throws AND fouls were given. I'm so mad I can't even post no more right now.
JUST A TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!
JUST A TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not Getting It Done
Even with Chauncey Billups back in the lineup, didn't make a difference in last night lost against the Houston Rockets(91-85). After coming back from a left groin injury, Chauncey still seem to be dealing with a promblem--trying to get his team to win against, Tracy Mcgrady and the rest of his team. The first quarter wasn't looking up for the Detroit Pistons with 0-10 then from 2-16. "The Rockets swarmed the Pistons to start both halves, kept them off-balance offensively until the fourth quarter and took advantage of a lopsided foul-shooting advantage", says Keith Langlois--a writer for the Detroit Pistons. Antonio Mcdyess lead the Pistons with 16 points with help from Rasheed Wallace with 9 rebound, Tayshaun Prince 2 blocks, and Chauncey Billups 6 points. Yao Ming lead his team with 27 points, with help from his teammates. But I would say that Yao Ming could have played this game all by himself, because he is so tall;the basket seem to be right their for him and everytime he would attempt a shot it actually went in.

Detroit Pistons Wins Again
Detroit Pistons 98, Los Angeles 80
LOS ANGELES, March 11, 2007 (AP) -- Rasheed Wallace's latest suspension came at a perfect time for the Los Angeles Clippers. They just weren't able to take advantage because the rest of the Detroit Pistons were too much to handle.
Richard Hamilton scored 15 of his 23 points in the first quarter, sparking the Pistons to a 98-80 victory Sunday. The All-Star shooting guard made his first eight shots and was 10-for-12 from the field overall, helping the Eastern Conference leaders beat the Clippers for the ninth straight time and 18th in the last 22 meetings.
"The last time Rasheed was out, I think I shot the ball three times, Chauncey (Billups) shot it four times, and we didn't play our type of game,'' Hamilton said. "But today we just wanted to do what we do best.''
Wallace was suspended without pay for receiving his 16th technical foul of the season.Second-year forward Jason Maxiell started in Wallace's place. He scored nine points, blocked four shots and had two steals in 35-plus minutes. The Pistons forced 20 turnovers, converting them into 30 points. Elton Brand and Chris Kaman each had five turnovers.(nba.com)

Follow by: Tayshaun Prince-17 points, 6 rebounds; Chris Webber 13 points, 8 rebounds; Rip Hamilton-12 points 4 rebounds; Antonio Mcdyess- 9 points, 8 rebounds.
Even Without D-Wade
Down 20 points, up 6 points, Down 20 points, up 6 points, up 4 points, down 2 points. There were mixed emotions from fans and players,at the American Airlines Center, in Miami last night. Without there leading player D-Wade, seem not to really matter to the Miami players; especially, shaq. Shaq was on fire the ENTIRE game. Even though leading scorer Tayshaun Prince, from the Detroit Pistons, had 22 points and 7 rebounds follow by Chauncey Billups 20 points and 5 assist and Antonio Mcdyess 17 points, just couldn't help save the Pistons. Was it because Rasheed Wallace was out? the Pistons lost to the Miami 82-85.
