A huge win. It's nice to beat them in their house. Although we knew it already, it shows that we are at their level. The ECF is going to be a war.

Amazing that with Pierce 5-16, KG 4-11 and R. Allen 3-8 (plus Rondo only 1-7)we still win by 7 in Detroit. And with KG only getting 5 boards we still own the glass 50 to 36 per the box score. Who says we are only a 3-man team?
TA another double-digit night off the bench as well. Our bench is developing quite nicely, thank you very much.
BTW, is anyone else sick of hearing how questionable our bench is while Detroit, whose bench is practically all young players, has such a great bench?

We just need to have a backup PG. TA is terrible at bringing the ball up the court against pressure. Which doesn't say much for the Lakers.  TA is starting to get his old explosiveness back, and he needs to be used as the slasher that he is. |

That was my big contention Mev. I have been sick and tired of all the Det bench>Big 3 crap I've been reading. Its great that we proved thats not the case. To have our Big 3 struggle and the bench pick it up is amazing. Give Doc credit for trusting them as well.

He is gonna be a big factor in guarding bigger guards like Billups. |
