Been watching these guys since the lightning bolt era. Were Back.

I'm buying my tickets this year. I doubt the Palace is empty anymore.

I can't wait to get down to Detroit a few times this season and hopefully there's a good sized crowd there.
can't wait

We're not totally back -- need to improve our depth, but we're getting there....

That Greg Monroe Highlight reel makes me feel bad for even suggesting we trade him.
Dude plays hard as hell.

After watching GMoes, I hope HE teaches Dre a few things on the block. Greg has an impressive post game.

Moose already has a nice post game its going to be nice to see how much better he is this season after learning from hakeem and working on hid mid range game.

Moose is highly skilled. So is Josh Smith. Both are great passing big men, and Drummond has big time passing talent (unrefined, but it's there) as well. Even when those guys are all in the same lineup, expect the ball to move, even with a ton of interior passes. We're going to murder teams in the paint, force teams to send as many players as possible into the paint to gain back control of their defensive boards, and leave a lot of top 3 pg shooters on our roster, more uncovered than they're used to seeing.
We really need to give this a full season to see how it develops and works. I think it could be sensational - and overwhelming for our opponents - in time.

Not to be a grammar nazi or anything, but it's "we're" back, being a conjunction of 'we' and 'are'.

I know that. Sometimes you forget the 'you' and 'are' as "you're" and 'we' and 'are' as "we're".
My biggest pet peeve on forums is this grammar correction. Sometimes I'm just to lazy to care.

Thanks for posting the vids - much more fun than actually doing work on Friday afternoon!

I'm off work for a month (health reasons), I'm ok though.
I'll be posting more because of this. I work for a Courthouse and they don't like us signing into forums at work and posting. I can read them all day, just can't post.
I'm always reading RealGm at work. I always follow what you guys are chatting about.

We always talk about how Monroe needs to improve his mid range game to help spacing, but he's a much more skilled post player than Drummond. What if Dre develops a mid range jumper to go with his rolling to the basket and finishing ability?

Great stuff. This will keep the hype up until the season's opening.

We aren't near back but we are looking to go in the right direction. I think Joe D still has to work on filling the point guard spot long term though.

We don't know yet whether we need a different PG. There is a legitimate change that knight is the long term answer. He is a player with wonderful attributes who could well be a great fit with a dominant group of big men

With Billups and Bynum backing Knight up, he won't be playing 30+mpg. If the Pistons resign Rip and Ben Wallace, Watchout!!!
