Yeah. On the one hand, it was disappointing to lose after having big
leads early, and even a 15 point lead in the third quarter. And that
scoring drought was painful and reminiscent of some bad Pistons games
in the past few years. On the other hand, I had kind of mentally
pencilled this in as a loss -- can't win all the road games against
good teams, and Utah just always seems to have Detroit's number in
recent years. And look, if Okur is going to hit three 3s in the last
couple of minutes, well, it's hard to overcome that in a close game.
My only question is, why didn't Amir Johnson play? He's been getting
regular minutes lately, Rasheed played something like 40 minutes, and
wasn't all that brilliant, at least not on the stat sheet. I'm not
saying 10 minutes of Amir Johnson would have meant a Piston victory,
but his absence was strange and, as far as I know, not explained. Is
Johnson hurt? -- Joe
