Nevermind they already did that.
I hope their GM doesn't think he's better than JD.

Who cares what their GM think. We know what Joe can do, and that's what's important. Lets just beat up on them Celts tomorrow.

Say something happends like Dyess is injured and Sheed gets into foul trouble. Going into a playoff game with only Maxiel,Primo and an out of practice Amir is not going to cut it.

In this case I do agree that we need to develope Amir or go out and find someone else who can play.

Max, very good post. Some people mistakenly think that we are talking about Amir Johnson. Nope. We are talking about how the Pistons can win a championship. Its just that Amir Johnson right now is the best option as a fourth big. In my opinion, Dumars and Flip Saunders are still fighting tooth and nail over this issue. (And if Flip gets his way, no 'Ship.)

don't have to look at the stats to know that Magic was playing serious mins from the start of the season and can only asume he was starting very early in the season.

I think a much better comparison is to ONeil from Ind... from my memory he didn't get much burn at all the first couple years just got to beat against wallace in practice.... i'll take his output down the line from AJ with what i think is 100 percent better attitude.

You have a very good point about Magic was playing such heavy minutes so early that season. Getting better game by game. Just like Amir Johnson should be. The window of opportunity is closing fast on us. Its time to holler like crazy for Amir to play now. Next month will be too late. If you want to see the Pistons win a championship, the time is now to get on board with the many of us who want to see the Pistons do more than have a pretty regular season record.

Based on the few celtics games I have watched, the Celtics don't apply a lot of trapping schemes, I could be wrong ggazoo.

For CB's sake I hope they don't go to that, hx has shown that this is a major weakness for CB.

Or, they will give up the trap real quick and try option B, if they have one.

I am looking for a win by a larger point margin than our previous victory in Boston.

Well said D. I was hoping for the same thing if they baffle CB with the traps, the Celts may get killed by our other players.

I invision a game where we run waves of players at their starters just to gas them out. High energy level guys who demand that the Boston starters play hard to keep up the pace. I see 11 Pistons playing and the highest minutes total is 32 by Rip. I see a 31-14 scoring difference in the 4th as the Pistons run all over the tired Celtics.............

This should be our game plan for every game. No other team can match our depth and intensity. We should be like a heavyweight boxer that just keeps coming at you for 14 rounds of body shots and then in the fifteenth; cut off the head!!!!

GAME OVER!

You know things are going well when there are five pages of posts eight hours before the game even starts.
