It did sound to me like he is upset with his "touches" last night when he said "no comment" when the question was posed to him. All I can say is...

1. His offensive rebounds are down by a full rebound a game this year. That's 1 shot right there that he used to get on his own, that he's not working for.

2. If he wants to become an offensive weapon he needs to learn how to make free throws. There is nothing worse than having him go one-on-one and end up (A) Turning it over, (B) Bricking a hideous looking shot, (C) Getting to the line and missing both. Those are the 3 most common scenarios.

3. If he still insists on getting his touches at the expense of the team, then he needs to tune out his hype, and get with the picture. Him getting all sorts of touches doesn't do anything good for this team. He is better saving most of his energy for defense and rebounding. While still keeping the defense on their toes by throwing down some lobs.

Would he be more happy if he was getting 15 shots a game and we were losing? I know it's sacreligeous to question Ben as a Piston fan, but if he starts b*tching about "touches" as one of the worst offensive players in the league I don't care.
