You would think that with Ben gone, he would safely compile a roster that can work for now and the future. It seems more like he's rushing players into the fold that don't fit.Quote:

It looks like we are setting up for a salary dump and rebuild after Billups bails on us.
i don't think you can assess our bench until you actually see them play.Quote:

a couple pages back it was noted that the 16% was taken from just a few games. the actual figure is 39% FG when he played under 30 min a game last season (41 games).Quote:

i doubt anyone's rooting for this team to fail... i always have a blast in the playoffs, getting kegs at my place and having tons of people over. why wouldnt i want that? but i am pissed at this team (uber pissed) because its fucking up all over the place (flip isnt fucking up, but he leaves alot to be desired). the management group has lost any faith from me. im not going to get excited by flip murray. joe's going to have to be alot more clever than that to get me happy with this team again.
I rest my case.Quote:

One actually has ramifications. No matter what the Knicks do, they are still just dealing with a big pile of crap anyway, so why does it matter.
The Pistons are ruining something worthwhile

the NBA is full of guys that, at one point in their careers, weren't wanted by someone. i'm NOT saying that joe D's working his magic right now with Flip Murray or that he's even got any magic left........but i'm not playing cynical Piston fan without even seeing this team play a game with their new philosophies.
maybe it's because the Tigers won tonight, but i'm feeling optimistic :)
