Admit it...a lot of you were a little nervous last night as the pesky Bulls took the Pistons down to the wire at the Palace. Two reasons for the slow start: One, it was the first game back from the West Coast, and two, they had two full days off before returning to practice on Tuesday. Yes, the Pistons looked rusty to start, but Chauncey came alive in the 3rd with 14 points, putting his team back in control. The 4th quarter was a shootout, 37-36 in favor of the 'Stones, and had all the drama we've become accustomed to seeing when the Pistons are on FSN this season. Talked to Chauncey after the game, and he admits, despite the fact there are only 22 games left in the regular season, he's not even thinking about the playoffs just yet. That's probably a good thing. The Pistons are still only two games up on San Antonio for the best record in the NBA, so there's no time to let up now. Speaking of which, the schedule has finally lightened for Flip's bunch. Saturday's game with the Wizards will be tough, but after that, it's five straight against teams with losing records. After the 8-game, 12 day stretch the Pistons just finished, the timing couldn't be better. Look for Deeeeeetroit basketball to go on a nice little run, and finally, finally, get their starters some much needed rest.
