[Mark.]

Tonights game sees the 2-1 Minnesota Timberwolves come to the Palace to try steal a win away from the 2-0 Pistons.
The Wolves lost their last game vs Orlando 86-83,
however a few days before they took on the Spurs at San Antonio and won 105-102 with KG dominating Tim Duncan, scoring 42 points.
The Pistons will look to close KG out of the game and force the rest of the Wolves to score.

90 @ 104

In a game that neither coach will be happy with the Pistons managed to come out on top.
With both teams combining for 198 shots there was plenty of action for the fans,
but the level of basketball was similar to that of a High School exhibition game.
To make it worse for the Pistons, Rip Hamilton went down with an Injury at the beggining of the 4th.


Hamilton was having a great night until he went down in the 4th.

The Pistons used a dominating first quarter to set the stage for their 14 point win.
From the second onwards the game just turned into a mess for both teams,
the Pistons relying on their 14 point lead built in the first quarter to get the win.
The game was extremely scrappy with the teams commiting 44 turnovers in total,
27 of which can be credited to the Pistons scrappy play.
Once again Sheed was held to only a few shots, but once again Dyess stepped in a made some key plays along they way,
making himself a nice stat line as well.


Dyess once again had a great game off the bench, filling in when Sheed was cold.

Aised from Rips great play it was once again Ben Wallace who helped make the win secure,
with the Pistons not able to limit the Wolves shot attempts it was up to Big Ben to be the last line of defence
and make sure the shots they were getting were tough shots.
This showed in his stats with 4 blocks, he also pulled down 15 boards.


Big Ben has become the heart of this team so far this season, here he knocks down his 1st 3 of the young season

It was all KG that kept the Wolves in with any chance at all, for once the Wallaces couldnt contain their defensive Mark,
but they made sure the rest of the team wouldnt have as easy a time.
While KG had a dominating game, his number 2 man (Ricky Davis) didnt have such a great game,
while still putting up some highlights he struggled to find a rhythm and was no exisitant in all the Wolves attempts a runs at the lead.


Davis was nowhere to be seen when the Wolves really needed him.

KG led all scorers with 29 points on 13-22 shooting, he also added 17 rebounds and 6 steals.
Rip paced the Pistons with 27 points on 12-22 shooting before going down with an injury early in the 4th.
Billups led well from the point with 21 points and 9 assists.
Ricky davis only managed to score 12 poitns on 5-17 shooting.

Coach Flip Saunders didnt seem to distressed by toinghts performance:
"I could be worried with tonights game, but its was just one of those nights where nothing goes to plan,
im just happy we still managed to get the win in such a mess of a game,
im worried about Rip tho, when the scans get back we will let the media know what the story is."

Next game: @ Rockets

[Mark.]

St. Paddy's Day was alright....

good to see you're still winning, Bogut had a good all-around game

Yeah St Patty's was a long day for me, didnt end up too ratted at the end of it tho, yeah nothing like winning, ahhhhhhhhhh

I used to go to Rongotai College I know go to Wellington College, Best school in the country baby, you can't mess with us

I predict 6-1 too

Lol yeah, i have a few Wellington mates down here, one went to HIBS, one Hutt Valley High and the other to Onslow

[rongotai]

Nice win Over Minny

All ga* schools

[Mark.]

Rip Hamilton went down with a rolled ankle early in the 4th quarter of the game against the Wolves, he didnt return.

MRI scans have returned and he is scheduled to be out 10 days.

Hamilton will miss the first two games of the Pistons 3 game road trip and will hopefully join the team at Boston to face the Celtics.

Coach Flip Saunders has not stated who will start in his place, implying that it will most likely be a pre game decision.
