I can't handle going through more years of watching the Pistons win but knowing they will never win the Championship. I mean, call me spoiled, but it's boring to watch a team that will never improve. I loved the Carlisle years because even though I knew we were going to get beat, the Pistons were on their way up. Every year was a next step for them. And then they skipped a step by winning the championship with Larry Brown.
Ever since Larry left, there has been no improvement from the players or the team. I'm not saying go back and get Larry, I'm saying make it exciting again. The overall goal is a championship, because that's what is remembered. And if it's a year or two or three of rebuilding and missing the playoffs, I'm fine with it as long as Dumars has a plan, which I know he will. Don't get down on Dumars just yet, because this is where he shows what kind of a GM he is.
