ESPN Forecast for Pistons: 33-49, 11th in Eastern Conference

I'm sorry, nobody will buy the "oh, we've really improved it just isn't translating to wins" thing. Better teams win more games.

Have you watched the games? I feel like the game plan is vastly improved, but SVG is playing with broken pieces.

There's a difference between improved translating into closer losses and more impressive wins and "really improved." You can argue that any two 33 win teams will play each other to a 7 game series with the home team winning by 1 point each time but we all know that's not the case. Wins and losses are not the be all end all regarding a team's level of "good."

I am sure we can all settle on the fact that this team is still losing.

Still too soon to draw any real conclusions... so far there are signs of understanding team defensive principles... the story so far has been lack of finishing offensively... I would have guessed the defense would be the bigger problem.
Just gonna watch it play out ... hopefully with most of the players healthy... next year we'll have to go back to the drawing board minus Moose.

I don't think it's too soon to draw conclusions at all. The team is doing some things better but obviously isn't going to make quantum leaps after 12 games with a roster that still includes some talented but very limited players. The team sucks. Perhaps a different level and kind of sucks, but still sucks.

singler should start instead of drummond

Yup, the whole better teams win more games thing rarely applies to teams trying to find a spark.

Additionally, Josh smith still has frequent 16-17 shot nights, we will not win those games.

Baby steps, where we can because in reality we are limited on what we can do via improvement with our current roster.
