The Pistons look like they’re on cruise control, and it showed Sunday night as the Pistons dropped one in Washington 95-83.

“We didn’t even much at all run our normal plays,” said Detroit’s Tayshaun Prince, who scored 13 points. “We were running pretty much stuff just to get some movement or whatnot, just to not having guys standing around. Usually, in crucial situations during the game, we usually go to our bread-and-butter plays, but we didn’t run no plays at all tonight, really.”

Antawn Jamison, the widely underrated Washington forward, was too much for the Stones to handle last night, he had 24 points and 12 rebounds.

This stat is pretty impressive:

Although only three games above .500, the Wizards own two victories each over Boston, Dallas, New Orleans and Cleveland. They are 1-1 vs. Detroit with one more meeting next month.

The Wizards looked like they don’t ever need Gilbert Arenas again.

Rip had 19 points on 8-18 shooting.

Darius Songaila had a solid night for the Wizards, considering his position on the team.

Finally, somewhat of an off-night for Jarvis Hayes, who went 3-9 for 7 points.

Dice is still racking up those rebounds, he had 14 last night.

Chauncey: 11 assists.

Don’t expect much extra motivation from the Pistons’ starters, I think they’re pretty comfortable with thir current playoff setting.

Pistons-Suns, tonight at 7:30.
