The Pistons sucks Major A$$

[NBA Junkie]

Just one of those games where the Wolves simply couldn't miss a shot and the Pistons couldn't make one.

This game was merely an anomaly and not a trend.

[Darrin]

Just lost to the T-Wolves...and I'm embarrassed to even say by how much...

That's not unusual. They have no pass-first offense and that rock is always on the floor. Speed is there as are the screens, but open shots aren't utilized. The smart play just a month ago is now not even considered. The details are causing losses and that hasn't happened since 2005-06's postseason. The problems are on the defensive side of the basketball. Iverson gets lost on rotations as he has his entire career.

The shot-blocked and the unforced turnover are back. It's been the better part of three seasons since we could say that. They have no chemistry together. Prince is asked to do everything--go to the boards and initiate the offense. Rasheed stands out on the perimeter and why is he acting as the coach? Rip has NO ROLE anymore. Will Bynum is their best passer and he plays out of control too often. I feel they're in more control when Maxiell, Afflalo, Prince, and Stuckey are on the floor.

I can only hold on for so long. With the upheaval of the Billups trade, the package in return, Saunders' firing, Mike Curry's hire, and Kwame Brown this has been a disasterous offseason. Even worse, Amir Johnson is not a good basketball player. Joe Dumars brought this on himself. This season he's living off his reputation.

I'm not following bad basketball in this town, so until they put it together,

I'm out. Bring on the rest of the teams still playing quality basketball, like the Lakers.

That was a great assessment. I'm personally taking a break from actually watching the games for a week or two. I have stuff to do and i really don't need my time occupied with thinking about how f'ed up this team is right now. That being said i'm not becoming a Lakers fan.

I'm watching the Pistons vs Knicks and I have a feeling this thread is going to be bumped today

Of course you had the feeling, you just bumped it.

Wow Curry is making D'Antoni look like Popovich

[Armando]

You can probably take Detroit off the list of teams that are legit threats to Boston in the East.

[Lp26]

Allen Iverson has killed our team.

They should have kept Billups. I know the team needed a shot of fresh blood but Dumars just blew it. I don't think Billups was the problem.

He did blow it. With the new coach (and lack of Flip), the infusion of Stuckey/Amir/AA (our bench just in case you're like WTF is that ), and the players giving the most effort being on the floor, this team would have been fine.

Unfortunately, Joe's always had a man crush on AI, and with wanting to send Billups home, we get what we see now.

As much as some Pistons fans may cringe the best coach for them was Brown. His approach worked well for the team.

He was. Our owner is really big on having what he considers "good people" though, and he can hold a grudge like nobody's business. Getting rid of Brown wasn't Joe D's move, it was his.

And the Sunday Jinx continues...

Piston's should put in a 9PM curfew on Saturday nights before a game.

On a sidenote, it looks like basketball is finally returning to New York.

How the did the Spurs lose by 10+ points against the Pistons when they cant even beat the likes of Minesotta, the Knicks or even Philly.

We are schizophrenic, and we put more effort into the "big games".

Goin' to work. Only when it's important.

Which is not a new trait of this team.

Yes it is. If there's a complaint about the Saunders' era, it's that the team showed its playbook and energy before the postseason.

[Kriz-Maxima]

So the whole "switch" fame was just a hoax concocted by Flip's detractors? News to me. The Pistons are struggling right now, while taking games off is something they have done for years.

And yes, disappearing in the playoffs against good teams is also something they have done for years

They did it far, far less under LB. In fact, i can only think of maybe 2 games tops in the PO's that they didn't show up for.

Hence why i said Flip's detractors.
