Flipping the switch

I'm really liking what I'm seeing from the new-look Pistons.

If anything, they're certainly a lot more fun to watch.
The fast break just might revolutionize the way this team plays offense.
They're built for speed. Even the big guys can run, in most cases far faster than the other team's bigs.

And Rasheed is the best outlet passer in the game. He joked that he'd like to QB the Lions and at this point, he might actually be better than One Joseph Heisman, who knows.

I'd really like to see Flip implement the bench more like he said he would, however. So far it's been mostly Mo Evans, Dyess, and Arroyo.

I'd like to see Delfino and The Dark One get in some more soon.

I think we'll see them more as the season progresses and the starters get tired, but right now they're rolling so well that it doesn't make sense to break a good thing up.

The regular season is paramount this year. Indy is a terrific regular season team, and if they beat out Detroit, they get a top seed and we get the fourth.

It's a tough tightrope for Flip to walk, but we should start to see the bench more.

I'm just hoping Delfino and Darko don't go into pout mode like they have in the past. We'll find out a lot about them this year whether they play a lot or not.

Tonight, the Pistons will pay back the Suns for last year's fluke win.
Without Amare up front, they will be no match for the Wallaces.

101-90 Pistons.
