Pistons vs Jazz

Make the Jazz 7-0 against the Pistons since 2005. Hard to beat a team
when 4 of your starters have fouled out. Where was Iverson and his
ability to take over a game in the second OT when it was really
needed? Sure he had 38 points in the game, but it didn't result in a
win and that's the bottom line.

I've seen in the past two or three games that Stuckey is now starting
at point and Iverson is the SG and Rip has indeed been moved to SF
with Tayshaun at PF and Rasheed at C. Rips points per game have gone
up but like I opined, his defense has suffered and was probably a big
part of the reason he fouled out against the Jazz.

Last season Jazz beat the Pistons twice, once by a score of 103-93 in
Detroit and again by a score of 103-95 in Utah. At the end of 4 last
night it was 98-98. Detroit held a 5 point lead at the half but
couldn't put the Jazz away. They had "NO ANSWER" for Darrent Williams
and the Jazz bench outscored Detroit's bench 20-10. Detroit also
didn't take care of the ball turning it over 20 times to Utah's 16.
Iverson led all players with 6 turnovers.

No way this team is ready to take on the Celtics or Cavs. They're
just playing out the string until the season is over and they dump
Iverson and his salary and get a team player who plays tough defense
and doesn't turn the ball over. Someone like Chauncey Billups...oh
wait....

And the 3 guard offense has destroyed the front court's game...
