I was bothered by Ibaka ( and Sefolosha)for not getting back for transition defense. He could have got back on Prince and prevented the pass and layup

justin : If Etan Thomas and Nick Collison continue to play the way they are playing, I don’t think Ibaka will see the floor too often.

I concur, but with Etans history what are the chances of that happening though. :/

That’s mainly why I enjoy basketball so much. It looks so straightforward but it’s very subtle. It’s really a beautiful game.

Nice, analysis here, Royce. I haven’t really been a basketball fan for very long so I don’t always understand a lot of the minutia yet. It’s stuff like this that helps clear things up. Thanks!

He will get there, kudos to the Pistons for seeing that weakness and capitalizing on it
