On a consistent basis? Give me a break, winless. Some consistent playing time might have established a more consistent performance.

Wait'll you see Flip Murray in action Winless. I have. He was a Sonic.

I think it's a really a drag that I am beginning to think it's good for the player when they leave our team, and bad for us. I say to myself "Well, good for them. Maybe they'll get their shot. Bad for us. More of the same.Maybe worse."

This is hardly the news to start my moving day off. I won't be online for eight days. No cable tv (read no NBATV) and no Pistonsforum.com. AARGH. I plan to watch playoff tapes from this year and last year
and try to see the differences between the game plans of LB and FS.Should be instructive. I hope this team is intact when I log back on on Sunday Sept. 17. AARGH.

I really hope you're right Bill Laimbeer and it's just an internet rumor.If he does leave, it will be because he doesn't believe Joe when Joe promised him playing time. He knows that no matter what Joe says, Flip is a stubborn risk-averse guy, and maybe no many more minutes for Delfino.

I'm not crazy about Delfino. I just don't like to see a guy leave Detroit and go to Spain (the world champion) for a few years and then come back and become a great player who is no longer a Piston. That would be....aarrgh...a potential Darko blossoming scenario. I as a fan couldn't stand to have two exPistons who never got to play tearing it up.

The headline "Will Blalock doesn't want to be a Piston anymore" could be in our future. Joe, fix it or just trade the draft picks for money.
