It's hard to say why, but too often the pistons hit the floor lacking energy and play lazy, sloppy basketball. They miss the open pass, then try to force the impossible one. One night they'll lay dominating defence, the next it's clutch- and- grab. Ben Wallace, it seems, is the only constant.

When Hamilton runs hard off the curl and Prince attacks the rim, good things happen. When not, the team settles for bad jump shots late in the shot clock. Brown wants Billups to run an agressive offense, but some nights he doesn't seem interested... Wednesday, against the Kings, he only took 8 shots and only made one.

During the Pistons' 13 game winning streak, someone opined that the team was finally "getting it" in reference to Brown's expectations. As soon as that was published, the team started tanking...
