This team as a whole shoots free throws at a middle school level...unbelievable. And wtf...KCP 8 minutes? Wtf happened from December/January/Early Feb to now? There's no reason he should not be at the least getting 22-26 minutes a night....this organization has no freakin logic or plan at all. At least Philly is developing their damn talent...

And the dude calling the Suns game said Monroe had shades of Ben Wallace in him....ha. They're both tall, black, and rich....besides that nothing in common. Half these dudes really have no clue what's going on in this league.

It is weird, He got good minutes last game and had a double double. Maybe we really are in tank mode.

Good loss, congrats to the Suns for inching back in for that 8th spot. Glad we could help haha

Like I said before, this team is where rookies come to die. No question.

If only we had a fraction of the talent to develop players like the Spurs do. From top to bottom.

We continue to lose game, after game, after game. Monroe fouled out, Jennings isn't playing seriously for Loyer, Smith continued to stat stuff but he missed all his FT's, KCP gets disrespectful minutes, and Drummond is still a beast. We gotta make a change this off-season, this is ridiculous.

We're damn near 20 games under .500 :nonono:

Hope we dont win another game this year so Gores clearly gets it that last Summer was an epic fail, clean house.

so of course coaching goes away from Stuckey & sends Drummond to the bench.

Thank God for the stupidity. #TeamTank

it's not stupidity if your meaning to tank. They stopped fouling even down 6 with 20 seconds to go. Hopefully theyve realized they need to lose. Be competitive but lose. I want this team to lose every game. EVERY GAME. Please dont complain about a loss its what we need

A tank mode that is detrimental to the development of your youth? Logically it makes like no sense....so yeah, probably what we're doing.

Just back home from the game. My observations

1. Monroe plays so much harder than every other Piston. I just love his effort but his results I just dont get.

2. Monroe complained he was fouled on almost every shot

3. Most of the team has already packed it in.

4. Stuckey is playing hard for his next contract and next coach.

5. Josh smith is the worst basketball player I have ever seen. I have never seen anyone fouled shooting a 3 and then miss all 3 FTs so badly. The fans were just laughing at him. Honestly if you cant shoot FTs why are you shooting 3s when double teamed? He is truely the worst player I have seen. In the 4th he just went into stat pad mode. He knows he is gone hes just playing out the string.

5. Singler impressed me tonight. A professional who hustles and tries.

6. KCP played well for the 4 plays I saw him on the court. Seriously If we drafted Wiggins or Chris Mullen or Bernard King or LBJ with the next pick I would think they wouldnt make the rotation.

I looked up at the scoreboard in the 4th and read that we were 27% from 3 and 43% from the FT line. How do you win with those stats?

7. The Pistons dont run 1 play for Drummond all game. Not 1 post up or iso. Im very impressed with this kid playing defense, rebounding and running when he knows he is being frozen out of the offense. If I were him I would be asking for a trade after every game. How he and Monroe keep there cool and dont kill Smith/Jennings/Bynum is beyond me. I believe they should be nominated for a Nobel peace prize.

I dont mind the losing but I hate the lack of effort, streetball offense, matador defense. I have no clue how Jennnings could ever get into foul trouble when his man is always 4 steps past him. I saw Monroe spend more time guarding Dragic than Jennings did. Its like Jennings is a spectator at the game and he just stands around watching his man being guarded by his teammates. He might as well stay at the offensive end and cherry pick all game.

Missed the game but how did Dre look? That's seriously all I care about anymore.

Josh Smith is 2003-2006 Antoine Walker.

Fire Loyer, he has changed nothing at all from Cheeks tenure. I want to see Datome, Mitchell, Siva and KCP ofc. Someone in this awful organization has to look beyond this lost season, play the young guys to see what they can do, sit down Jennings, Smith and Stuckey.

Jennings' effort is disgusting. Sit him and start Siva, our spacing couldn't get any worse.

He's Mavs Walker. Toine was more efficient the other years

"But we should still be trading/ letting Monroe walk in the offseason and keeping Smith the next 3 years right?" :banghead:

MrBigShot · Post #60 » by **MrBigShot** » Sun Mar 23, 2014 1:57 am

Trading him may have been a good option at the deadline if we could get good value in return. But as is? Not gonna happen in a S&T. Much better off just matching than letting him walk.

One thing most can agree on: We aren't going anywhere as long as Smith/Jennings are playing significant roles on this team. Meanwhile Dre, the guy who is suppose to be our eventual franchise player, gets frozen out.
