The Official Detroit Pistons Thread

What would you know about it?

Not much, that's why I'm not expecting Detroit to win. I do think they'll take a game, possibly even 2.

It's early but I love how aggressive we are playing

Warriors. We've beaten them before no problem

Could you imagine, Jackson vs Westbrook would be so entertaining.

Piece of cake.

Yes it would. I honestly think you all are about 2 years from being the favorites in the East.

Steve Blakes defense continues to kill this team

 

[zjcvols]

It's the one thing SVG should have done in the Tobias trade. Get CJ Watson as the backup. Blake is terribad

 

[BadJerry20]

Yes he is.

 

[ScornedPapaVol]

I'm going to use "terribad" to describe how bad we've been for the last few years. And we're likely to remain that bad under the current management.

I assume you're not talking about the Pistons

Blake was awful on defense, but I thought Harris, who needs to play well, struggled on both ends.

Some Pistons thoughts since I haven't posted in six months:

1) Stan Van Gundy is a damn genius. He should be in consideration for GM of the year last year or this year. One lottery pick in three drafts and he turned a 30 win team into a 50 win team. Yeah having Drummond helps but he got Harris and Morris for nothing, Reggie Jackson for two bench players and I loved the Ish Smith signing.

2) What I don't understand is why we gave Jon Leuer so much money after signing Henry Ellenson. Like I don't mind Leuer but that contract is ridiculous. Just play Morris at the 4 and go with more Stanimal/Bullock at the 3.

3) Speaking of Ellenson, I didn't mind that draft pick and he looks decent. Plus with Harris/Morris/Leuer you don't have to rush him at all.

4) KCP is going to be really interesting to watch. He had a really strong second half of the year. Great defender. But he's a below average shooter. At some point, if you can, you got to improve that spot if it means better shooting. Plus he wants a huge contract. Going to be a tough one for SVG.

5) Ish Smith was a great signing. Can start for awhile and move the ball around while Reggie heals up. Nice to have a solid backup PG.

6) Stanley Johnson isn't going to start but he's going to be a beast coming off the bench.

 

[zjcvols]

Oh and here is my PT breakdown (when Reggie is healthy).

PG- Jackson 33/Smith 15
SG- KCP 36/Bullock 12
SF- Morris 30/Johnson 18
PF- Harris 30/Leuer 18
C- Drummond 33/Baynes 15

I really like Ish, wish OKC would have kept him.

4-2. Destroying teams at home. That Brooklyn loss just absolutely sucks. Would feel a lot better at 5-1 going into a big west coast stretch.
