Makes me wonder when was the last time Detroit had a really good post player. Dantley?

Rasheed Wallace has as complete a post package as anyone in the NBA. Of course, you know the rest of that.

Ah - Mark Aguirre? Corliss, Stack, Rebraca, Spliffy, Elden; but they're not "really good". But, you might have to go all the way back to Lanier to get to that level.

Yes. Can't stand watching them. I know that puts me in a distinct minority.

Bballjay thinks Sheed doesn't post up because of Ben's man doubling. IO argued that he always settles outside for jumpers. Prove me wrong jay.

The Pistons won the highest scoring game in NBA history. Maybe the circle will be unbroken.

I would rather watch Mahorn and Laimbeer knock people down but I'll take wins any way we can get them.

Yes, but have they gotten to the promised land with that system yet?

It's not like just because ben left we'll turn into the Suns. If we get a coach who will yell at us when we get lazy we'll be fine. Can we get this ass. coach though?

Jimmy Edwards was a post player. Zelly was a post player.

I'd say Buddha Train was the best of the two. He was deadly with those turn around, fall away baseline shots.
