Official Detroit Pistons thread

Shooting is the problem from what I hear. I don't watch that clown show.

IT's jsut not worth the frustration...we dealt with an 0-16 Lions but at least that was only once a week, and there was a decent prize waiting with the first pick in the following draft. Most of us couldnt even tell who the top pick will be, and it doesnt matter as the Pistons probably wont have it anyway even with the worst record.

Detroit gave it a go, and Cade scored over 40, but the Nets pull out the win, 118-112.

Cade and Ivey havent quite gelled together the way we thought they would....I dont know if both have to have the ball in their hands to be effective or just dont jive chemistrywise

They team up together fine, but Ivey can't shoot. They aren't the problem, the bench is abhorrent and that's the problem. If you want to win ballgames you can't play Wiseman and Burks. Cut both of them.

Hypothetically, if Cade were to get hurt before this streak ends, that would make it a virtual certainty to go 2-80.

Tonight was the first time that the starting lineup (Cade, Ivey, Bojan, Stewart and Duren) have played together this entire season. It's not a bad starting lineup. A lot of Pistons fans are calling for a shorter bench. The problem is who do you shorten it to?

I think I might go with Burks (for his trey shooting), Ausar (everything but shooting) and then I have some real trouble.....Bagley? Livers?

You don't put James Wiseman in there, that's for sure, he should be entirely out of the rotation.

You don't put James Wiseman in there, that's for sure, he should be entirely out of the rotation league.

Fixed that for you.

Really its amazing Troy Weaver still has a job...never won more than 23 games in prior 3 seasons and now sits at 2-28. How low the bar has sunk for this pathetic franchise. Gores doesnt exactly have alot to brag about either...0 playoff wins in over a decade as owner.
