Rip KO’s Charlotte In OT; Pistons Win 103-100

rip-hamilton-1-13-08.jpgThe Charlotte Bobcats, fresh off of an underdog win in Boston, had all the momentum they needed coming into Saturday night’s game against the Pistons.  However, Detroit’s backcourt had an objection to Charlotte’s streak.

ppbullet2.pngChauncey again showed up playing the role of Mr. Big Shot with 27 points, 7 assists, and a clutch 3 ball to tie the game at 91 during regulation.

ppbullet2.pngRip hit the game winner while fading on the baseline from about 10 feet away, with 16 seconds left.  I wouldn’t have picked anyone else to take that shot.

ppbullet2.pngNazr Mohammed had another great game for the Bobcats with 19 points, 13 boards and 3 blocks.  Brings back memories of early last season…

ppbullet2.pngPistons took 18 more shot attempts than the Bobcats.

ppbullet2.pngThe Bobcats were without guards Ray Felton and Jeff McInnis.  Luckily for us- they could have easily made an impact to push the Bobcats forward.

ppbullet2.pngTay had another solid game with 22 points and 7 boards.

ppbullet2.pngSomething needs to be done about Flip Murray’s constant DNP’s.  He’s far too effective to be inactive so much- I’m sure Joe Dumars is looking for a trade, but let’s hope there’s some action coming soon.

ppbullet2.pngGerald Wallace’s final attempt at a jumper was sent away by Sheed to send the game into OT.

ppbullet2.pngPistons’ bench didn’t do much last night, they went a combined 4-21 from the field, including a 1-8 from Jarvis Hayes and 0-4 from Rodney Stuckey.

ppbullet2.pngEmeka Okafor and Nazr combined for 28 rebounds.

Let’s hope for a Pistons blowout of the lowly New York Knicks tonight at 7:00 p.m.
