Re: As Good As A Win

Hunter looked good to me, don't know why he didn't get more floor time.
Detroit is an excellent team, we are not. Pierce still is working out some
problems of his own. Their guards killed us. The refs did suk. Nevertheless
we played a good game against a good team. If we build on this we'll be ok.
I don't understand the McCarty thing but he still got a lot of minutes,
wrongly IMO.
