I don't remember the last time I could actually watch a full game without break something :lol:

Yeah, it used to be that I've have the Pistons game on then pick an alternate channel to flip over to during commercials (I HATE commercials). Now the Pistons game is what I flip to during the commercials while watching something else.

I'm actually not so sure that wasn't the plan, lol. As it seems to be a recurring theme in the Frank era, for our guards to cheat off 3 pt shooters and pretend like they are doubling the post. When in reality they are just standing in the midrange area guarding no one lol

I really believe that is part of Franks system.

Knight/Dre can't get back soon enough...

it has to be. i've noticed this too. i still find it confusing that frank preaches so much defense and consistently puts our worst defenders on the floor.

do you still think calderon is that much better than knight when you factor in offense and defense?

Yes.

no clue what your watching, but this team is clearly better with Knight as pg, however i do think in late game situations, i'd prefer to have the ball in JC's hands. Its more a matter of experience/comfortably than skill

These last 3 games have shown just how much they need a shooter. This was what Brandon had to deal with the whole **** year, and they've never looked this bad 3 straight games. Also, Jose ain't putting up the gaudy assist numbers anymore, is he? Again, it's really hard to consistently put up high assist numbers on a team like this with more people who suck and can't finish/shoot than not.
Also, the double standards are staggering.

Agreed...Even though we lost, good game tonight Pistons...Stuckey, Jerebko, Bullwinkle, and Englsih played well...

Not trying to start anything but he is watching the same thing I've been watching, Calderon run this team much better, don't throw bricks at his teammates, get Drummond, Monroe and Singler in great situations to score, takes care of the ball and knows how to close the games, Knight never did any of the things I mentioned.

Oh and even with bad games, Calderon has been a much more reliable shooter and scorer than Knight.

So yeah, the team is much much much better with Calderon at the point, we need non DLeague wingers tho and we need a non useless starter PF independent of who is playing PG.

:D Calderon is a good player come on, you can't hate him forever, he is a Pistons, I'll hate him with you again if he moves to another team but while he is playing for us you gotta show some love even if it's not as much as you show for Stuckey.

^I can understand that...But do me a favor, when Calderon is off our team can you please rip Calderon one good time...I dropped a portion of my Chicken Alfredo from Olive Garden tonight because I was so pissed off at Calderon's defense...

I'd love a S&T deal this offseason like Calderon/Maxiell for Milsap/Burks

Yeah Jose is a bad defender, huge news. Teams can afford having a bad defender at point guard by having help defense. We don't have that. You can just get a screen on the defender anyways.
