When things are not going well. I see things that should be corrected or done better or not done at all. I'm just as happy when we win as the rest of you. I just don't generally feel like coming in here to pour syrup all over the forum like the rest of the slappys do.

Well, you're upfront at least.

Just for the record, what are your "Moderator" responsibilities? If I'm not allowed to Ignore you, at least I might draw some comfort from knowing you're doing a lot of positive things behind the scenes.

chucky was a decent backup to have. In case you dont remember he could hit shots like that when he was here and if you think he did not have this game marked on his calender then you are just plain dumb. When you trade away a player you should expect him to come in and do his damndest to try and beat you. (even blaha gave him props for his lights out shooting) if you take away the chucky factor it wasnt even a close game.

The fact is washington is a playoff team who came to ball and the pistons got beat.

I didnt watch the game but I listened to the 4th and overtime but looking at the box score they got to the line way more than we did going 38-46 shooting .826 meenwhile the pistons shot 26-33 for a % of .788 that is 13 more attempts then us

and to say we played horrible d on arenas well he lit up minnie for 33 on the 17th denver he dropped 36 on the 22nd and the 39 against us last night he is on a roll he is 4th in the league in scoring behind kobe ai and lebron scoring 26.7

besides billups and arenas usually set the tone for their teams arenas tore it up last night while billups shots were not dropping the two go head to head and it is a great matchup so what they got the best of us this time we play them what 3 or 4 more times bet on the pistons (billups) to be ready

Arenas goes for 40 and Atkins even gets 20 and you don't think defense was an issue eh? We should have pounded these guys tonight, yet we take a double overtime loss at home in the middle of their 5 game skid.

Furthermore, I didn't have to jump on LB last year because I agreed with his coaching. Simple enough I think. IMO Arroyo only played on one end of the floor. I can't stand guys that do that. So what if he dished out 8 dimes if he gave it all back on the other end. Guys in here act like Chucky called the other four lions and formed Voltron before taking all his shots. I watched that guy suck in Detroit for much longer than I should have had to and him coming off the bench for the Wizards and dropping Andrew Jackson on us should have never even been part of the equation.

I really wish you would lay off the condecending slappy remarks dude we are fans not idiots you are not the only one in here who is not happy about the loss but keep the bs comments to yourself mod or not it is uncalled for

PS chucky got us into the playoffs as our point guard so he could not have sucked that bad

Don't be fooled by one game. Atkins came into the game shooting 23% for Washington. And hardly playing at all. Now Washington is hoping someone sees this one performance and they can trade him to the next team. I know Atkins did well in this game. But also note Billups continually got points off Atkins when matched up with him. Most nights, thats the story with Atkins. He might give you points, but he always gives the other team points.

We had no real answer for Caron Butler. That guy was getting it done on both ends. It says three steals but it seemed like he deflected a lot more passes that went out of bounds.

This team needs a microwave. I like our bench...rather the bench's potential. I wouldn't mind this team being able to field 6 starters. Right now its like 5 starters and some other guys. They're all about moderately effective compared to the rest of the team.

The team still takes a long time to start playing. We basically give up the first quarter and try to play 3 quarters of basketball. Maybe less. But on a positive note, that come back was awesome.

This wouldn't have been as bad of a loss IMO if we played the whole game and then lost it.We still seem to think we can turn it on whenever we want to.Well sometimes you can but that is not the attitude to have because we see the result.

We are 9-2 great record for the changes and wondering what was going to happen this year.The lack of a consistent defensive effort is alarming though because that wins games.Hard to complain when our record is good but this trend of playing part of the game and spotty defense when we get to some of the better teams is gonna bite us in the arse.

Guys like Caron Butler are why. As good as Evans did on Arenas, and he was very good, he was that bad and moreso guarding Butler. We absolutely need a different solution at this position besides Evans. And I hope Flip goes looking for one soon from his own roster. If its not there, we need to pick up a free agent or do a trade.

i said he was a backup i did not call chucky an allstar or a lock down defender however to totally dicredit him as low did is not fair he was our point guard before we got billups and we made it to the playoffs that does not mean oh he is great or anything just give the guy a little respect. i said he had the game marked on his calender he had a very good game against his former team thats all.

The real question should be: Would Darko have stuck the putback and then made the free throw?

Warthog · #50 (**permalink**) 11-26-2005, 12:10 PM

no the real question gazoo is if he would have even grabbed the rebound or if it would have slipped off his fingers and went out of bounds
