The Pistons offense was in mid-season form as Rip Hamilton scored 37 points in leading the Pistons to a 108-88 win over Philadelphia. The Pistons shot 56% as a team, as Tayshaun Prince scored 16 and Chauncey Billups added 10 points and 10 assists. Every Pistons who played scored as the Pistons gave Flip Saunders a win in his Pistons coaching debut. Ben Wallace grabbed 10 boards. Allen Iverson led the Sixers with 31 points.
Darko Watch: 9 minutes, 2 points, 2 rebounds, 2 fouls, 1 block, and 1 steal.

I tell you what, the boys looked good last night. Yes, I know, the boys were also chalked full of adrenaline, but all the same they really looked solid. It is nice to see a coach that allows all of these athletes to be athletic and run up and down the court. It was also nice to see that, despite all that running, they still remembered that their bread and butter is the “D”. Oh, and one other thing, what was that weird thing that happened? I didn’t even know the Pistons had a bench? You mean coaches are allowed to play more than 6 or 7 guys? Is that a new rule this year, along with that dress code thing?
Later.
