Re: DETROIT @ WASHINGTON 7:00pm
This squad is close to being a good playoff team... 60% player turnover in less than a year... a new coach trying to get the pieces to work together... besides that what's lacking is defensive talent & team awareness.

He's averaging 13 PPG in 30 minutes on .509 shooting with 4.5 offensive rebounds per game this year. Regardless of how he gets his points, he still gets 13 PPG on a good FG shooting percentage as a third year developing player who would get snatched up by the league in a heartbeat if the Pistons made it known they wanted to move him.

If Reggie doesn't play a lot better than he has the last two games, we are in BIG TROUBLE.

Not at all...We haven't hooked our wagon to this horse yet. If he continues to try to be Hero Ball Reggie, then we just cut him loose and see what we can do via the draft, free agency, or with what we've got in Jennings and Dinwiddie.
All is not lost.
At the end of the day, it's not about wins and losses. Teamwork, fair play, and good sportsmanship make champions of us all.

all his points come on lobs and from offensive rebounding. You can't throw him the ball inside and expect him to ever create a bucket for the team

There he is! I've come to kind of enjoy your schtick, although I might be close to the only one. I really do hope that it is affectation, as to truly be that pessimistic and negative is kind of sad. However, you really should watch the games, as some of your statements don't help your credibility. Drummond might be worst FT shooter in the league, but his hook shot is becoming fairly effective. Sometimes I wonder if he shouldn't shoot it from the FT line.

So if he scored 13 PPG on 50% shooting of mid range jumpers and post moves he wouldn't be the worst offensive player in the league?
You're acting like he's the second coming of Ben Wallace or something. Points are points. No matter how you get 13 PPG, when you're shooting over 50% you're nowhere near the worst offensive player in the league. Kyle Singler shoots 43% from the field and 38% from three. Now that's a pretty good 3-pointer percentage. At 8.6 PPG is he therefore a better offensive player than Drummond because he has a defined offensive skill that isn't lobs and putbacks? NBA.com has Drummond as the 9th best starting center in the NBA. But what the hell do they know, right?
You may pick up the pieces of your shredded argument and go home now. K thx bye

Most likely from going to other teams' boards after Pistons losses and posting "Great game by you guys tonight. The Pistons suck" and "Great game by you guys tonight. The Pistons suck and were lucky to come away with the win" after a Pistons win.

no he wouldn't be the worst offensive player in the league in that scenario because you could actually depend on him getting the team a bucket in crunch time or making clutch free throws. All of his success is predicated on other players setting him up or on offensive rebounds. Yes he's still easily a top 10 center because he's the best rebounder in the NBA and a very good shot blocker and makes it that much more frustrating that he has done nothing to get better offensively when he could be a TOP 5 PLAYER in this league he has that kind of potential but here we are in year 3 and he has not gotten any better

He's still just 21 though and everyone knew how raw he was when we drafted him. He's starting to show some progression with that hook shot at least but yeah the whole FT thing is just a killer for him. Gotta think in a few years though the game will come to him a lot better especially defensively. Even guys like Whiteside who are putting up Drummond type of numbers but can actually defend really well are still 4 years older then him. He will get there eventually in time.

Luckily his mom only lets him use her phone in game threads when we are losing. If he was on here with this nonsense everyday it would be brutal.
