Thought you were abducted, about time you got your ass back.......

[WTF]

Ok, I see what you're talking about!

I admit that Bynum gets full of himself pretty quickly.

Talk about not knowing when your stuf stanks

I take it you got a chance to watch those 2 OT's.

I think twice we went up by 4 points only to watch Bynum screw us with his Alley Ball Antics

[deusXango]

Who can remember when a team was guided into the lottery with so much excitement?
GO PISTONS!!!

[WTF]

Good News: Is the Pistons actually win this game tonight as the bench actually pull this one out this time around.

Bad News: Is it just one game because in a series the Heat would kick our asses. So don't go overstating a nice win tonight people because will still stink it up the next 3 or 4 games.

[deusXango]

What GM went 4 years without making a trade, and when he finally did (Gordon+1st rounder for Maggette), the fans prayed he didn't make another? Clue: He still has a job because the owner appreciates jobbers.
GO PISTONS!!!

Wise, the good news is, Lil' Larry learned something from the Atlanta game....it won't take him 2 OT's to loose the game.
The bad news is, Prince couldn't do anything with LaBron on two good wheels, what can we expect from "Mr. Quote Machine", playing on one?

Hi Wise. Just not feeling it with the Pistons and NBA in general this year. Until the Heat are no longer the reigning champs, I'm not sure I can stomach too much of it.

We traded a 1st Rounder for Magette? LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL BWAAAAAAAAAHAHAHA!!!! BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! Wow.......

Judging by the box scores, it looks like Drummond may be a keeper. Thoughts?

[deusXango]

With the firing of Avery Johnson in Brooklyn, Phil Jackson (the winningest coach in NBA history) is the front-runner for the job; #2? Nate McMillan. My point is, fire Lil' Larry's ass right now and hire McMillan, before another firing or two takes place, or we're looking at table scraps at the end of the year, or whenever the powers that be wake up to the fact that Lil' Larry ain't sh!t as a head coach.

Fly, that observation on our need for a new coach is based on the handling of Drummond, and others, by our current coach. Drummond is a young beast, that the more he plays, the better he gets, and that's the opinion of local fans to national media types...everyone but Lil' Larry (and let him tell it, Dumars and Gores). I can't believe the owner and GM are staying up nights working out rotations for our coach to deploy, and evey one of them has Drummond coming off the bench. You gotta see him play Fly Dog, he's something special.

Thanks. I've actually got the game set to record tonight, it's being aired locally.

What will Frank do now? He has played the vets a lot and lost a lot of games. Will he have the guts to play the young players? If he does, will the owner give him a free pass this season? This much I do know. If Frank is fired, he will have a very difficult time getting another chance as a head coach in the NBA. Will Maxiell finish out the season as a starter? Will Jerebco sit the bench for the entire season? Will Austin Daye, Austin Daye and Bynum continue to play a lot of minutes? What I see is those 3 players are not really very good players. All three are horrible defenders. So if you can't defend anyone, there is no way any GM wants any of them in a trade. Play those 3 against any decent team that is actually not faking playing like Atlanta did the other night, and they will suck. The opposing coach can pick on any one of them and score on almost every possession. Frank plays all three together.

I mentioned this idea of the front office insisting that Miami tank games until the closing minutes when playing in arenas of teams who struggle with attendance like the current Piston organization. It was clear that Miami was not really playing at their usual level of energy against Charlotte and other inferior teams. Keep the games exciting for the fans. But never allow Labron James to get into foul trouble. The fans want to see him play. It appears that things are not on the up and up regarding the Heat. Will Detroit stay in this game until late due to tanking by Heat players? Last season the officials for sure fixed the games involving Miami in every series. I am having a difficult time trusting that league officials have any ethics at all. NBA is just entertainment not real basketball. That is what many fans are thinking this year again.

[WTF]

But the continuing blaming of Drummond PT is all on Joe. It's like the 5th time LF has said it's not the direction of the organization to go with the youth or insert Drummond into the starting lineup. If you notice there has been no rebuttal on the part of Joe or Gores to indicate anything different. BLAME JOE

[Oracle]

Nope, you blame the coach!

No excuses, either it's his idea, or he isn't man/coach enough to do the right thing.

Pick your poision, either way, he's not the right man for the job!

[Oracle]

DWill got the great Jerry Sloan fired in Utah, and now he bad mouthed Avery and got him fired!

Fired one month after being named coach of the month, lol! Now, Avery isn't all that IMO, although I know some here like him, I never wanted him here!

Since DWill is so good at getting rid of coaches, maybe we can sign him for one season, just so that he can get rid of Frank for us!

Because Joe & Gores, who really hired Frank, so Frank's his boy, are trembling in their cubicles and crapping their pants while Frank fiddles!

[Oracle]

We probably would have a hard time finding a good coach now, but there is hope!

Sloan won't take the job with DWill there, and neither Phil Jackson or Stan Van Gundy(Ron Jeremy) is interested - [Only admins are allowed to see this link]

So we still have three options out there, of which, Sloan would be the only one to interest me for the Pistons. Van Gundy is a chump, and Jackson won't have a super star here, so he's useless, LOL!

Wise, come on...Drummond is one of the better draft picks made by Joe, and to keep him away from playing along side Monroe (with Knight), is real close to tendering his resignation. I don't believe he has to dignify those outlandish allegations made by Lil' Larry with a rebuttal. What about the PT not given to English at SG? Joe dropped a nickle & dime player (Vernon Macklin) to bring a player, who doesn't speak English, from half-way around the world and pay him 3X as much to do the same thing....sit on his ass; that's an organizational decision? Gores hired this fool, not Joe, so the blame should be aimed at the owner if anyone.

I like hate'n on Lil' Larry because he's a bald faced lier, who politics, blames everyone from the players to management for the shortcomings of the team, and talks sh!t that no one in their right mind can understand; he's gotten away with more dumb sh!t than any coach of the Pistons in recent memory. As bad as Curry and Kuester were, this guy tops both of them. The veterans starting that arguebly shouldn't be (Prince and Maxiell), and the ones who're getting PT is his ass kissing tactics to keep down rebellion in the locker room (which is full of rookies). I ain't buying the hype!

What I hear you saying is Lil' Larry can coach but for the interference of Joe Dumars, is that right Wise?

Fly ... AD can be the best defensive Piston center of all time .. and he is gonna score and pass well ... more than Chandler for the Knicks is now I would say .. I would be more interested in bringing him on slowly IF we had a good big to pair with Monroe already .. BUT WE DONT .. Jmax cannot score or defend any quality big ... at all... Jmax is working hard but he has disappeared so bad the past few weeks ... AD so far has shown so much basektball savy and IQ that I have no doubt that after even glaring mistakes .. he will correct and teach himself .. So important on a team run by Frank .. And so long as Jmax is out there .. the other team will not be guarding him but WILL BE doubling on the ball ... and so our offense is getting punked bad because of JMAX ..

DX .. you are so right about Frank politicing .. It really disgusts and angers me .. more than Curry (Blank Slate) or Kueser (Buffoon) ... AD is the better player than Jmax RIGHT NOW ... and what does Frank do? Protect his Vets whom he fears ...

But even additional to that .. is that Frank is an idiot of Xs and Os when it comes to offense ... ISOs rule ... screens? Cuts? Movement? Just spread the floor and hope for the best while the man with the ball is double teamed ..

[Oracle]

That 2nd unit comes in kicking ass and taking names!!!!

Is it time to sign Will the Thrill to a MAX contract???

LOL, even Joe isn't taking that much drugs, er., I mean eating that many enhanced jellies!

[Oracle]

Making his case for PT!!!

[Oracle]

Gets goofy once in awhile, but both him and Stuckey really know how to feed Drummond on alley oops to the hole!!!

[Oracle]

They're kicking Miami's arse, but I do realize that they're putting it to Bosh and a bunch a scrubs, LOL!

Oracle .. it really is amazing .. 14 straight points .. HOLY SHIT! .. and then another run ... Drummond is the key though .. he is so impressive defensive .. he makes everyone better defensively .. CV .. is really playing smart and hard these days .. Singler on the 2nd unit looks good too . Jesus .. maybe the solution IS to play the 2nd unit as much as the first .. or more ..

You got it, Drummond is the foundation we need to be building around!
