During the off-season, the Pistons pee pawed around and picked up who, yes grasshopper, Dale Davis & Maurice Evans, to do what? Take us to the next level. I think Joe went for the gamble this off-season, I even thought that our bench was solid based on the way they played during the pre-season, silly me.

During the off-season, what did the spurs do? They picked up two old antiques in Nick van Exel and Michael Finley.

We see where they are sitting right now. So, you have two teams who were playing for the championship last year, one is at home, the other one is getting ready to get sent to their room.

Bottom line, the Spurs are already somewhere soaking up the sun. Yhis was the team that the Pistons were supposed to meet in the playoffs, They also have issues.

Similar mindset in the off-season you say, the Spurs and Pistons with arguebly the best starting five, their game now is non-existent.

It will interesting to see what type of changes the Spurs will be making to their lineup, this may be the barometer of what we will be doing in the off-season.

I am not asking for wholesale changes with the pistons, but the lineup definitely needs tweaking, I will go as far as saying, we need to make some changes in the starting lineup.
