Monday's Win

Ugly, ugly game, where we saw the bad Hamilton emerge in the place of the 
good Hamilton who's been playing the last few games.  He's not the only
one 
to blame, of course.  Billups stood up and took responsibility for
Prince's 
bad shot at the end of the game when Billups got stuck with the shot clock

running out.  On the other hand, he did make the tough shot with negative 
time....

Maybe in this world of internet tubes and pipes it's time for the refs to 
keep time.  I doubt it will lead to any more accuracy, but it will at
least 
change the conspiracy theories from home cooking to league crookedness.  

At any rate, Orlando again dug themselves into a deep hole with their 
turnovers, but they played a lot smarter in setting up their offense and 
this time got a lot of 3 pointers.  On the other hand, Detroit didn't
panic 
while the rain was falling and avoided one of the collapses that killed 
them against the Sixers.  They need to do a better job blocking out Howard

(not that it's easy) and they need to get more and quicker cuts by players

without the ball on offense, but they did a great job protecting the ball 
and mostly took good shots.
