AJ was our 3rd leading scorer...

That about sums it up.

tHE VISION came true..................
OLDSKOOLHQ FOR COACH!!!

Maybe we'll get active at the trade deadline now.

Something wasn't right, and I'm not buying fatigue.

Yup. Detroit media/columnists need to hit these boys hard.

I get the same feeling. This looked like a team that "quit" not a team that got outplayed.

Our lack of a center is really starting to hurt us.

Well what had happen was...

The Pistons knew they were given a gift last night so they made sure that they didn't win tonight and save Zeke's job... 65 points is enough to gurantee that the other team will win.

What happen to Tayshaun of the dead?> 0-10, no points, 3 boards and 0 assists. -23 in the +/-

Here are the hard fact folks on the 30.7% shooting.
Gay 0-10,
Ripped 1-7,
Stunkey 1-5
Allfull 1-6
Minxiel 1-3
Briczek 1-2
Fibbio 1-7
All Jayes 0-5
Player of the game AMir 3-3 who scored the last five and prevented the Pistons from setting a new franchise low in points

As bad as the bench was they still scored 23 points in the garbage time 4th qtr which was better than what starters did in any of the previous qtrs... half of those were on free throws as at least they know how to go to the paint

I see it more as a lack of a slasher and/or proper play calling to get high percentage shots. When this team struggles, they ALWAYS rely on the outside shot. We just do not have a coach that understands when the team needs to quit with the jump shot BS and attack the rim.

We have a coach who admits he doesn't care where the points come from. The Pistons shoot jumpers when they're tired, or when the defense gets tight or when they're cold. Just goes to show you how little emphasis Flip actually puts on the guys to get points in the paint. We're dead last in the points in the paint this year - and last year too, iirc.

When you are averaging close to 100 points a game and shoot only 30% against the Knicks and miss the Pistons all time low for points in a game by one point, it has nothing to do with taking jump shots and Flipper's offense.

They layed down on Flipper just like last night, but tonight was even more so. They don't want small ball.
