Collins started at Center, moving Jefferson to PF where he belongs, thereby moving Gomes to SF where he belongs. Gomes was also tearing it up. Still, tonight was Foye’s night.

Bryan: I didn’t hear that but it makes sense because it was clear that they were running very basic “bread and butter” plays. Foye just looked so much more confident, both when he was playing point and shooting guard. He was also looking to pound the ball into Jefferson EVERY chance he got, which is one way to bump your assist total. Anyway, I personally think that Telfair and Foye is our best backcourt, as I’ve said before, and I think everyone is frustrated that Miller is reluctant to try to get more shots. Wittman knows Foye licks his chops to shoot whenever possible, so he might get more chances at the two now that he showed something while playing there.

Are people optimistic that Randy can string together a few nice games in a row? I’m not sure I am, but it would be a great surprise.

Now if only Love could do the same…his confidence level looks almost as low as Foye’s was during his string of terrible games.

I don’t know if you guys caught it, but what made the difference for Foye wasn’t Foye at all, it was Wittman. Jim Peterson explained that in the morning session, Witt made the decision to dumb down the playbook to make things simple for Foye, and it paid off big time.

That result came out of nowhere.

Trade Foye before teams watch film on him?

What have I been telling you guys? It’s the point guard it’s the point guard it’s the point guard.

Wow, we’ve won two of three! Imagine if Foye gets to the point where nights like tonight are common. Isn’t that what we were counting on? I’m still hoping he’ll make us forget about Roy.

On the other hand, how did the Pistons get so bad so fast?

This was the best I’ve ever seen Foye play. It’s nice to see him come back from some really bad games and to show everyone what he’s capable of. Hopefully he can build on tonight’s game.
