Dlev - Its hard not to think about the past 2 playoff collapses. When you analyse the Pistons you almost have to keep that in mind.

I would not mind so much if they lost as long as they lost by getting beat and not because they were tired or chocked.

With our bench. Since the starters hogged all the cap money Dumars had to assemble it with rookie contracts and min contract vets. With the exception of Hunter and Amir ( who hardly play anyway) the bench is all rookie contracts and min vets. So one would almost have to expect some inconsistancies. Its really quit amazing what they have been able to accomplish in that light.

At least Dumars is taking advantage of the rookie contract now. Its a pretty good value. Can you imagine how much Maxiel would go for on the open market?
