The Pistons played like a bunch of assholes out there.
Mentally weak, low basketball IQ motherfuckers.
I'm down for some changes, Sheed first.
Find a new slant.
I'm pissed that our starters can talk all offseason about how they want to get this taste out of their mouth and proceed to do nothing about it. And not just once. Every year since our title.
I'm ready for changes because other teams improved and we won't get much better (Stuckey and Amir should improve, but what good is that when they have limited roles anyway).
Phil Wenneck: The man purse. You actually gonna wear that or are you just fuckin' with me?
Alan Garner: It's where I keep all my things. Get a lot of compliments on this. Plus it's not a purse, it's called a satchel. Indiana Jones wears one.
Last year, our big problem was our bench and our lack of a starting PF/C. We theoretically improved somewhat, and that helped during the regular season (more wins, less tired starters). But, that didn't translate into enough. Part of it wasn't our fault. Stuckey and Amir's early injuries were setbacks. Part of that was our shortcomings. Why no Arron Afflalo? Why keep Jarvis around when we knew that he couldn't backup Tay in a playoff setting? We used Herrmann HOW much when we needed good PF defense? About the only bench thing we reallly figured out in mid-season was that if Nazr was the answer, we were asking the wrong fucking question.Originally Posted by Fool
Only if you bought the "tired" excuse they trotted out for a second time.
STEW BEEF!
Tre doesn't know shit about the pros so don't worry about it being him.
Also, you know your favorite part of that article is that the dude doesn't consider Stuckey the PG of the future.
STEW BEEF!
I'm pontificating as much as anything.Originally Posted by Fool
If I were asked a year ago what our biggest problem was:
1) Nazr/aging CWebb as a starting C, or
2) a playoff bench consisting of McDyess, Flip, and Crapfino, or
3) a coach who's a doofus at playoff adjustments
I'd have picked "2". If you told a year ago that we'd upgrade our bench as much as we did, with the same core, with Flip making semi-reasonable decisions, but NOT make it past Game 6 ECF, I'd have thought it was crazy.
I don't envy Joe's job here.
That's fair. We all agreed that the regular season went as it could go in terms of player developement, rest, and standings
STEW BEEF!
