Superman faces kryptonite, but Pistons lose
NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
The Pistons were able to play defense on one guy.
Uhh, one guy?
Yeah, they held Dwight “Superman” Howard to eight points on 2 for 9 shooting with 5 turnovers.
Nice, what happened?
The Pistons lost to the Magic 103 - 85.
How could they lose?
They forgot to play defense on the other 4 guys.
“I am disappointed, (the players) are disappointed and the fans are disappointed,” coach Flip Saunders said after the Orlando Magic came into The Palace on Wednesday night and laid a 103-85 whipping on the Pistons. “We didn’t need to come out and lay an egg like that.”
The Magic shot holes in the Pistons’ 10-game winning streak with a barrage of 3-point shots. They knocked down 13-of-20 on the night, nine of the first 12. source
Apparently the Pistons have the magic powers of a chicken and can lay eggs.
The NBA just gets weirder all the time.
Anyway, the Magic just kept pouring in the 3’s.
Bogans, Rashard Lewis (20 points) and former Piston Maurice Evans (16 points) combined to make 11 of 13 triples and the Magic won at The Palace for the first time in eight tries.
“They were hot, man, hot, hot, hot,” Pistons guard Chauncey Billups said. “Give them credit, they came in here and took it to us. No excuses.”
Was Chauncey singing when he said this?
Oh, my. What could happen next?
Leave it to the All-Star break to break momentum.

My Pistons traded Bonzi before he even played. Loaded with talent, but a head case. and face it, he did not perform for Houston. Bonzi is actually getting pretty NBA old.
