In a strange way, and I know this sounds crazy, but I think the latter actually helped the Pistons. The other four players knew they had to focus more and play better to compensate for Daye.

Two huge shots, but let’s not heap too much praise.

That comeback was HUGE considering the schedule. Up next is @Orlando, vs. Denver, @Miami I believe. If we can go 1-2 this week, that would be a success.

Daye shot 36 percent in the game. Yes, he was part of the unit that got them back in the game. Yes, as I mentioned, his length on the perimeter (along with Prince's) really bothered the Phoenix shooters. Daye shot 2-for-7 in the fourth quarter for crying out loud! To think that he was equally important in that run to Bynum is just pure fallacy. @PCB:

Everytime he makes move off the dribble, someone sags off their respective opponent and they take away his driving lane. That stops tmac from gettuing into the paint for the drive dish offs that he was doing very well about a couple of weeks ago.  He just dosent have that speed off the dribble anymore to beat that so what he is reduced to is a jumpshooter.Maybe need to post him up more like they do with Prince on the elbow so he can feed the cutters  or score on his man.  As for the offense, how many ISO's are they going to run for prince? He was 6-17 in new jersey and 8-19 last night.Stuckies rescent struggles have been ultra ugly as well.On the playoffs front with both the Pacers and the Bobcats losing leaves the Pistons just 2 games out of the 7th seed.  Teams are playing Tmac with intelligence now.

But T-Mac has not been getting people easy looks for the last couple of games and the offense has been real stagnant @Patrick That whole write up on Bynum and barely a mention of Daye who was equally responsible for that fourth quarter run, both hitting big shots, getting to the line, and making some great defensive plays. He has active hands, did a nice job defending the high pick & roll, and his length bothered Phoenix on close outs. And when he was guarding Gorat inside, he held his own - i think he gave up two rebounds but he fought in there.

Then all of a sudden the pistons just took over and locked the D down like it was 2004 again. All that was missing from this game was Ben Wallace’s afro!
