He had a pretty decent showing in his 1st game with Raptors - 13 Min 11 pts, 5-5 fg, 1-1 ft, 3 boards, 1 blk, 4 fouls.

Pistons bech is gettibg better and better. If Pistons will be in NBA finals they will need bench help.

still feel the same way?

LOL! I took a step back. Its good to see that he's contributing well. At the time it looked like we overloaded on G's at the expense of big men but the addition of Ratliff makes this team look really good. Way to go Joe!

dixon > murray in my book but all those changes didn't happen at the time.

yeah but i couldn't resist the opportunity just think, in place of murray, nazr, and brezec we have dixon, ratliff, and herrmann. joe d rules

yeah. its good to go back with a different perspective too. as more moves happen and more knee jerk reactions follow, it'll be good to remember that sometimes, its just the beginning.

Not quite sure why so much negativity about Juan D. This was an excellent pickup for Detroit going into the playoffs. Every championship team needs a veteran backup guard.

Love Stuckey, but you're not sure what you're going to get because of his youth at this point. Lindsey will be more effective defensively, but Juan is a combo that CAN run the point, and can score like nobodys business.

I think with this veteran squad and the chemistry that we have, Juan will flourish. He was spectacular and poised last night...granted it was the clippers (lol)

Every championship team needs a veteran swingman to win, as well.

Do you think we would have won in 2004 without Darvin Ham?

Where is our Darvin Ham?

Ageism is not a valid argument.

We will see. I know Dixon does not shoot 90% for this career like he did last game. He would be making max money if he always played like that.

So..you're saying we should have signed Darvin Ham? I'm with you!!
