Saying he is in the minority on his opinion about Amir is just that. It wasn't meant to invoke a social analogy. But you're right, it ain't a bad thing at all.

As much as he has the freedom to state his opinion about Amir, I have the freedom to tell him that the opinions of other Pistons fans overwhelmingly disagree with him. That's what I like about the board.

what a schizophrenic game- Pistons dominated in the first half and played like the next champion. Very good positioning on defense, good line- ups by the coach, RIP went red- hot and CB dominated Williams.

Then the Jazz rallied from a 12 point (?) deficit in the third quarter. Millsap killed us during that run. I was waiting for the time out but it simply did not happen. Imho, Flip showed once again that he really has troubles with adjustments- he simply let the unit in while hoping the Jazz- run would end somehow. Sometimes it simply takes a timeout without even saying alot to end a run. Pistons got charget for alot of offensive fouls and I think these where correct calls. Stuckey is pretty quick, but he still needs to get more body control. Sheed is having trouble if the team relies solely on him in the post. When he posts at times, it's ok, but when he's forced to do something in the post, while the others stand around, he fails. Same for RIP, who had a very bad shot selection at times.
Still, I see some positive things- team will learn from losses like that one (why can't we beat Utah, by the way???) or at least I hope so.
And JMax was perfect from the lane.

I will be scouring the net today to find out why AJ got the DNP. For Flip'ssake; I hopehe was hurt, sick or being reprimanded for something. Otherwise I will be pissed.

Not upset because we lost. Upset because we lost and if Flip sticks with what he has been doing the last four games and the ten games we won before that; this is an easy victory for us.

I totally understand emotional reactions but labels like "completely clueless" or "Flip hates rookies" are exaggerating too.

Not a very new fan, since "iron curtain" opened, actually.

Last 2 seasons it took me abut a month to get over from ECF exits but only some 40% of blame I'd put on Flip.

The Clippers should be much easiler to beat.
There's a way for Flip to not murder it...

Sure, and I get the message you are trying to send.

But no one wants to censor you, I just figured out of everyone here, you are the closest to my vision of someone who is counter-popular culture, so being in the minority might actually be a desirable position.

After all, there are a lot of wingnuts out there who vote with the herd.

Thank you for another great season!

Terry Foster blogs about Amir being a starter...then Amir gets a DNP. Coincidence? I think not.


Paul Milsap is on fire...Flip Saunders coaches like Ronnie Milsap...frustrating game.

B-Bills. - THAT's classic!

So are you saying that Foster knows something we don't or was this a authority check by Flip. Is he sending Amir a message? "Don't let all this press go to your head; I still run the show and dictate your minutes".

Actually, flip is envious: he feels that Amir gets a praise, instead of him
