Why I am a fan of the Pistons.
1. I'm from Detroit.
2. I've LOVED their hard work ethic and commitment to defense since the mid 80's.
3. They play as a unit, not a group of individuals.
4. They play with pride and hunger.
5. They're a team of egoless hardworkers.
Since only reason number one still applies, I find it hard to root for them anymore.
If you think this has anything to do with winning or being an elite team, you're a bigger moron than I even belived possible. This team was taken to 7 games by a young and untested team with about 50% of the talent the Pistons have. Then they were completely embarassed and destroyed by a team they should have beat if they had decided to exemplify at least 3 of the reasons I listed above. I like hard workers. I like people with heart. I love the Pistons. This was not the Pistons I loved.
So if you still can take pride in a team that underachieved and bitched about all along the way, then that's fine by me. But if you have the brass to sit behind a computer screen and tell me that I'm not a Pistons fan, or that I'm a bandwagoner, then you can take a head first leap off the Palace rafters.
I BLEED red and blue, motherfucker. And today, I'm bleeding alot.
Man, we're all bleeding.
But maybe this is a good thing. I think they took for granted that they were getting back to the finals. Hopefully they come back next year hungry.
NOW can we all agree that being an all-jumpshooting team with little to NO scoring presence down low is a bad thing?
This nightmare scenario, where we spend all game shooting (and bricking) jumpers, then look like fools when we try to play inside, is what i was afraid of during all those mid-season chatroom squabbles. convinced myself it wouldn't happen because "they been there before" or whatever other cliched garbage i bought into.
championship teams play inside out. Even the triangle offense with Jordan possibly the GOAT at 2-guard played inside out.
Oh btw there was this one wtf-detroiter who kept dismissing the 'all jumpers' last in points in the paint criticism in almost every chat.
I'm sorry, but that jump shot thing is your coach. And thats the last i'm going to say on this topic. We all know how I feel about Flip. He might be a wnderfull person, but he's a bad coach when it matters.

Sorry, but it is.
64 wins and an ECF appearance is nothing to be ashamed of. No, it wasnt what we expected, but shit happens. Some people here have gotten pretty fucking spoiled.
KStat, I think we are upset that our team is now built around a flawed concept. Flip's offense has proven throughout his career that it works great in the regular season but fails in the playoffs. A low post presence, not a part time one like Sheed, is an absolute MUST.
