Official Detroit Pistons thread

[fontes91]

That was a helluva game tonight. Lebron is head and shoulders above anyone else on the planet.

It seems like for the whole game Cleveland is holding the lead until the inevitable Golden State onslaught that never comes. I understand Golden State's offensive philosophy but far too often they don't take the easy twos in search for 3s. Like two steps from a dunk or a layup they are passing it to the corner. On Curry's game tying bucket he has a wide open lane, a no doubt 2 points to tie and right before he goes up he's looking to the corner. Just take the bucket.

They shoot alot of transition 3s instead of taking easy layups too....The Warriors are the classic live and die with the 3 team.

Classic and in the Finals

[Cody_Russell]

GS can have games like yesterday or games when they look like the 2014 Spurs in the Finals vs Miami... making 50%+ of their jumpers it seemed like while destroying LeBron.

[froot loops]

They just have to work it inside more. Shooting 3s is fine as long as they are open. But you have to take the lane when it is available.

[Newbomb Turk]

I cannot believe the Pistons would leave all their loyal fans in Auburn Hills and uproot the team just to move it to the inner city.........


bastards ........

Hey, at least Detroit is "up and coming".

I'd like the pick of Tokoto not for his talent and how good I think he can be, but because of how his last name is pretty cool IMO. Announcers loved saying his last name during the last couple of seasons.
Outside of a cool last name, I think its hard to say Tokoto will be a good pro. 6-5, but played SF/PF at UNC? I hope he translates to SG. Problem is he doesn't have that great of a jumper.

Report: J.P. Tokoto, Rakeem Christmas in play for Pistons' 38th pick

Christmas should go in the 1st round. If he was 20 instead of 23, he'd be worth considering at 8.

[Malto Marko]

I am thinking Christmas should be going around 25.

The Milwaukee Bucks' new uniforms have been revealed.

I think they are very nice except for that secondary "M" that looks like something from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Everything is traditional about their new look except that random "M."
But yea, it's nice to see traditional looks. I like it more than what some NFL (TB, Jacksonville, Cleveland) and a lot of college football teams (Oregon, Baylor, IU) are doing with crazy / too much going on uniforms and helmets.

Pretty basic and a nice tribute to their 80's unis. Not exciting but not offensive either. It fits the vanilla yogurt vibe that is Milwaukee.

And, it certainly is a ton better than these:

You can unveil great uniforms and a good logo like the Bucks did... then you have the Raptors, who I think have a new logo (based on the Raptors ESPN site). I don't like it.

I think the Raptors should go back to their old logo and nice looking purple jerseys they had.

Yeah, those post-Barney jerseys that Wince is wearing there were their best. That "new" look is very similar to what Brooklyn has but with a gold claw.

And I would love it if the Pistons moved back to Detroit.

Driving out to Auburn Hills is no fun and there's nothing surrounding the arena.

It is strange how little development happened outside the Palace in 25 years.
