Now it could just be me but it is not this guy coached mj grant hill in his prime and other all-star players. His point and mine is if we can win games without standing toe to toe punch for punch with other teams then why should we. We can win games with our execution and with shots not just with our brawn. The pistons may not play the same game that many of you guys fell in love with but they are still winning games. Yes the truest of tests will come in the post season but this team is doing it the easy way right now.
I don’t agree with everything flip has done so far but I cant argue with wins right now flip has him team playing record breaking basketball for the franchise best start ever by a pistons team so yes we can sit here and nit pick about how much burn the bench is getting but how do you discredit the results. |
Amen! and its not like they have forgotten how to play DETROIT BAAAAASKETBALL, they are just not having to do it every night for 48 mins... some nights they don't have to do it at all. I think though if you ask SA they would say we showed the defense we know how to play for 48 mins TWICE now. Our starters are playing a tad less minutes and you would think that as the season goes on the bench will get more burn, but the minutes they are getting are not as hard as minutes as they had to have last year to win.
