WE all like to take credit for winning but as soon as THEY lose, WE get off the bandwagon . I often change my WE's to just The Pistons and won't take credit for a win or a loss, because Flip always gives me a coaches decision DNP....

"When we don't make shots, we put our defense at a real disadvantage," Prince said. "We can't get back and set up like we want. Cleveland played good defense, and we didn't make shots."

Looks like Dolphin has won Prince over.

That quote made me so angry.

Flip has totally killed the defense leads to offense, defense first worry about offense later mentality.

"I can't put my finger on it," Billups said after Wednesday's loss.
But he and several other Pistons suggested a remedy.

"At some point, we have to speed the game up," Billups said. "They are a lot like us. If you walk it up and allow their defense to get set, they will cause you a lot of problems. They are long, athletic and they can rebound. They can really cause you problems if you play at a slow pace.
"I think we need to pick the tempo up and attack the basket."
As others have mentioned, this is probably a good idea.

If our captain could have only known it until after this game, we are in trouble.
If our coach is going to find the "best" mix in coming remain season games in the stretch like some media said, we are in more trouble.
Mr. Saunders, where're we going ?

Detriot, we have a problem, uhm, we have problems.

Re: At Cleveland March 19th, 8:00 PM

I just dont get it. This Cavs team was missing 4/5 of the D it had last year:

GOODEN
HUGHES
GIBSON
MARSHALL

and got back:

WALLACE
WEST
SMITH
SCERZBIZKAK ...hahaha

and kept:
JAMES
Z
SISSAY
BROWN

and they're a 'great' defense?? HELL2THENAW!!

This team is just in the Pistons heads like the Nets were. They'tr like little annoying children who we seem afraid to 'smack in the head when they spill their milk"(see Planes, Trains and Automobiles). Thats why we can beat the Pacers(of OLD) the Heat and the Spurs and Lakers. But we cant handle Cleveland?

I'm tired of this LeBron mess. He's one guy. Kobe is supposed to be the best BUT HE's one guy and has 0 rings sans The Big Cactus. Pistons need to triple LeBron (which they are too 'manly' to do) or let him get his 40 and attack him constantly when he's on Defense.


Just tired of this Cav D crap...the best thing to happen to us is if Cavs/Celts meet in the 2nd roundand they beat each other to death!

By the time, the last time I checked, Tay has been playing great at PG everytime when he was told to take it.

This would be a remedy to a lot of teams we face. We are longer and quicker then alot of our opponents.

Longer? Yes. Quicker? Doubtful. Quickness off the dribble is our biggest weakness.
