Pistons played tough and pulled out a win against the Magic. They've attacked the basket more than any Pistons team in a long time, maybe since the days when Stackhouse and Grant Hill played together, and they did a decent job defending against Howard.
It's definitely not a formula for consistent wins against teams with talented big men, but it will work sometimes at least.
And in the hilarious side of NBA news, it took only one game for Iverson to feel disrespected and alienate his coach. Despite the Griz owner saying back in July that Iverson would be looking at a seat on the bench, Iverson has already been whining about his role:

Yeah, for the *entire* 17 minutes that he played.
And Gortat didn't fair much better playing only 23 minutes.
BTW, does the Pistons CS teach flopping in practice????

He's using the old "hamstring hurts" excuse in Memphis. They're on to his back spasms excuse.
Isn't it odd how Detroit, no matter what their line up is, has Orlando's number. Play them in Orlando and beat them. Play them in Detroit and beat them. No Rip, no Tayshaun, no matter! And how about Will Bynum? Nearly gets his eye poked out by Gortat and comes back out of the locker room 5 minutes later and runs the team.
Too bad they weren't as effective against the Raptors last night.

He actually played better in his second game off the bench. If he can ever get it through his skull that he's only fit for situation play, he might actually do well, at least 4 nights out of 10.

I think that's going to be the way it goes this season -- good effort followed up by games where they give up 40+ points in a quarter.
They're definitely going to need every point the backcourt can give them, because they're going to get outscored by 10 or 20 every night by the other team's front court. And I don't know what to think of Stuckey getting so many rebounds -- I hope he doesn't end up like Darrell Walker and actually leading the team in rebounds.
