Stuckey Nets 40 in Win over Bulls

Per usual the Detroit Pistons handed over ANOTHER lead in the 3rd quarter last night, luckily this time the second year man from Eastern Washington, Rodney Stuckey took over the game. Stuckey scored a career-high 40 points and carried the Pistons to victory over the Bulls after Allen Iverson left with a groin injury.

How did Stuckey pull off this feat?

"My teammates were finding me, I was hitting my shot, getting to the free-throw line and getting to the basket -- that's how you score 40 points,"

Stuckey is a great young guard, but if the Pistons are going to be at all relevant this year in the post season they better start figuring out how to keep motivated once they have a lead in the second half. Lately, it's been like clockwork where the Pistons will come out and take control of the game ...and then the mid-third quarter hits in which they promptly hand over the lead to the opposing team.

It would also be nice if Rasheed and Rip learned how to keep their mouths shut, all the technical fouls are NOT helping the cause either.
