Post season previews and predictions here.

Vinny runs a tight ship.

What a stupid thread!

I predicked that there will be a season.

Did anyone else see BJ's tweet? Something about "I'm not going to rush back" lol Just put it on out there BJ.


My prediction is he will NOT rush back.

Steve Blake will start a few games.

Mxy will go to a few games.

Season over.


@detroitbadboys
Reggie Jackson has precautionary MRI on achilles, unlikely to play Tuesday

Giddy-up!

22 days. 22 days too many.

Guys at Vantage think the Pistons are 9th in the East. Like the starters but think KCP, Morris and Illy are unreliable (have them starting).

Game tomorrow's not on TV?

Not as far as I can tell. The Fox Sports website will apparently be live streaming the home games, though: http://www.foxsports.com/detroit/story/live-stream-pistons-preseason-home-games-092815

Much appreciated. None of my typical stream stealers had it.

Johnson looking good.

SJ is ROY. Lock it down.

SJ was damn good in SL


Couldn't watch game.


What'd u think of KCP's boxscore Fool?

Out-of-position Stanley's Johnson was ridden pretty hard to keep us in that game. Most of his oopses were him being tired. If this game is any indication, next year I'll have a Stanley Johnson Lego set to complement the Drummond one I picked up last night.

Eryasova was mostly crap.

SVG's substitutions were poor in a "winning the game" sense, though he was clearly constrained by the PG situation. No way would I ride the bench for the 4th quarter like that.

Some asshat by me was on the phone doing play-by-play with whoever was on the other end. I made it a point to yell in his general direction and drown out whoever the fuck he was on the phone with, and I think he recorded a video of me with his fucking phone at some point when I was actually focused on the game.

Hooper was missing. Souvenir cups and game programs were missing. The timeout entertainment was iffy. The light show blotched up the mega-TV in the middle at times. Mason was blotted out by the music and the start-of-game player introduction was poor. Production-wise, everything was "off", moreso than I've ever seen it. I'm going to tomorrow's game, and will see if things are any better.

Our defense is a work in progress.

Looked like what we want him to be, but a lot of guys were hot this game and KCP has had nights like this before w/o putting it together for the long haul.

Yeah, I've been bearish on KCP until I see how he does during the regular season.
I'd rather see Stanley starting than KCP.
KCP screams "bench guy" to me.

KCP screams "bench guy" to me.

This phenomenon is actually referred to as "Stuckitis".

I called him a 6th man playing in the starting lineup all last year. If he learns to shoot though, he's a non-all-star starting SG in this league.

"He's got potential, but he shouldn't be starting." was what I said last year. I haven't seen enough yet to where I think this changes.

I'm just going to go ahead and predict lottery. If we can't get the maybe #5 seed or higher, it's just for the best.

Thanks for the reply.

KCP will avg more pts than RJ this season.

Yeah, I like his chances of scoring more than Richard Jefferson.

Popcorn?

Really looking forward to the season. NTAGAS

I am a fan of the Detroit Pistons basketball team, as well. Sorry if I'm ruffling anyone's feathers by saying it.

Wasn't able to watch the game. Looks like Johnson shot well again. KCP reverted back to his normal awful shooting self and Jackson was absolute trash.

This Oracle1978 guy is hilarious. We should get him to post here.

I did not see the game. Forgot it was on.

You didn't miss much. Ugly game. Stan and Ersan were the only players who didn't greatly suck. Everyone else was hot garbage.

Dre looked tired even before the game started. If I had to take a guess, he's coming down with something or allergies or something.

I'm not going to make any more games until the home opener.

Not having contract extended, increased?

No, he likes that he gets to negotiate after the huge salary cap increase, I'd expect.

I thought I read that there is a way for him/them to include the raise. But that'd be kind of hard since they don't know what it is yet.

Nope. CBA doesn't allow that.

I'll have to see if I can find it, but there was a way for the Pistons to do something that benefits Dre. It laid out lots of options and showed how they all could benefit team and Dre.


But until I find that, disregard.

I think this is close the options I remembered. Not sure if its enuf to piss of Dre to the point of lackluster play.

Pistons vs Bucks game http://www.thefeed2all.eu/watch/378099/2/watch-milwaukee-bucks-vs-detroit-pistons.html

Seem to be responding to SVG's unhappiness with last game.

Playing good D. Forcing contested and long shots.

Bucks gave a fan who has had season tickets since 1974 a framed jersey with the number 500 (500 games) on it and presented him with in on the court at the first timeout. Pretty cool. Though, that's like the most expensive jersey in history.

56-33 in the 2nd.

Wouldn't that be like way more than 500 games??

Yeah. Maybe he only had a partial package the whole time? 12 game package + 42 years = 504 games.

If that's what he did, they should name that package after him. That would be cool and I bet other fans would appreciate it when they bought it.

Fuck the Bulls and the White Mayor.

Chauncey > Hoiberg

Aron Baynes earning his money.

What a waste of money Aron Baynes is.

Baynes can't rebound.

Dinwiddie is awful.

Baynes getting killed by some guy no one has ever heard of.

Goodshill with some face time on Bulls home feed. Sitting next to Sam Smith and the announcers only mention Sam Smith ... I wonder why #smh

Meeks with the Harden style "ole steal" attempt, which always fails.

Meeks is turrable.

Meeks w/ a nice block to save a fail by Jackson.

Meeks is so overrated. So funny he was in a shooting slump all of last year, cept for the 2 times he scored over 20 or something. could be wrong on that, but seems like it.

4 times last season (once was a 34 point game) but all his shooting %s were down which is the only reason he's on the floor (to shoot).

We are garbage.

Nice to have the Bulls be ass at D and to have a better coach then them now.

Yup.

I see 2 games.

Read more carefully.

what games?

There is a box at the top of the page that give scoring ranges so there's no need to look over every game but if you want to, there are two games 20 or over in the first month he was active, one in the last three games of the season and one somewhere in the middle.

K. thx.

My post said OVER 20. 2 games over 20. 24 and 34.


It was tough listening to how Meeks was in a slump all of last year from some fans. They saw the 1 game where he hit 34 and expected that to be the norm. I don't mind Meeks at all, its just that peeps overrate him imo.

The difference between 20 and 21 is

His paycheck overrates him.

^ Agree. He isn't a bad player but overpaid or something.

Its the way it was stated on NBATV at the end of last year and this old man remembered it.

My official Pistons prediction is that I'll be going to the home opener.

Good, I bet they can use your help.

If Andre Drummond makes a FT, I did my job.
If not, he's hopeless.

Bump?

Thanks for the reply.

KCP will avg more pts than RJ this season.

RJ 18.6

KCP 14.5

SJ is ROY. Lock it down.
Idiot.

RJ 18.6

KCP 14.5
