The Detroit Pistons beat reporters clearly refuse to print anything negative or even resembling constructive criticisms against the team. This is just another example of blind trust and homerism.

My guess is, they do not want to damage good relations with pistons organization...

And secondly : sometimes, if mostlly, this forum is so full of negativism, that I read detnews and freep to "balance" things.

I think I made those exact same arguments about Prince a week ago. This guy is stealing my material.

I bet he's reading the forum. I wonder if he's responding to Lee's letter.

Maybe he wouldn't have had to go all nuclear on a fan if he had been doing his job and talking about why Prince is having an off year. Prince is clearly off. He's not playing the way he has in the past. And the beat kids have basically been ignoring it.

Yeah, he isn't a terrible player, but he sure isn't the Prince we've seen before and someone in the press ought to be talking about that.

EXACTOMUNDO!!

They seem to be incapable of doing that. Probably afraid that Bill D. will call them not a very good person.

I honestly think he's been doing a fantastic job on defense. His offense comes and goes. I'm blaming that on 2 things: 1) his form is bad- he can get streaky, but the downside is that he routinely goes through shooting slumps, and 2) he takes a lot of physical abuse- he's skinny and is guarding the most aggressive players in the league. I bet that it is hard for him to maintain the energy on offense every night.

He's the ultimate glue between our front and back court players. He can handle the ball or play big. Borderline all-star is good enough for me.
