Dumars has to be fired now. Don't even make trades until he's gone.

Lol Smith. I said this before, he was making history for the wrong reasons.

This team has become a running joke because of Smith and Jennings. Everyone knew they couldn't coexist together, there's not enough basketballs around to do so. Yet, Dumars had to make a splash getting these two. This is comedy gold. We're all witnesses...

If you want a good laugh go to the page on pistons.com with all of Cheeks' pressers. They only post the home game press conferences, and coincidentally the Pistons have been blown out every home game, so every one of the videos is like a carbon copy of the rest :lol:

Its **** hilarious. Its the same damn press conference every one of them, except they are actually all from totally different games. lol

Please get this man off my Pistons.

Please.

I will stop swearing.
I will stop drinking.
I will dedicate my life God/Allah/Buddah/Superman.

Just please make Josh Smith stop being a Piston.

Please.

Went to the Bobcats game where we blew a 20 pt lead in the 4th

That game i repeatedly told Josh that he was one of the worst 3pt shooters in league history this season

Kept screaming WORST 3PT SHOOTER in NBA HISTORY

He gave me so many dirty looks thruout all this. Cant wait till my next visit to the Palace to rub in my prediction some more

He has the letters "S" and "F" written next to his name in the lineup, so he's gotta take them.

Hey I thought Greg Monroe was the problem?
You need 2-way wings, 2-way shooting bigs, and you can't allow low iq players on the court. Assist/turnover ratio is crucial. Shooting point guards are icing on the cake IF they are plus defenders.
Weaver & Casey, govern yourselves accordingly!

No better way to get his percentage up other than keep shooting them. Shooting them often.

Monroe? Drummond?

:dontknow:

Who else is left? lol

This team doesn't have good 3 pt shooters. I don't think it matters who takes them. They just aren't going to make a lot of 3s. Jennings/KCP already combine for 8 per game on only 33% themselves. You want them chucking more 3s instead? lol

Be patient. I'm sure there will be a tweet soon about Monroe on the verge of becoming the worst defender in NBA history if he keeps this up. lol

I actually put this on Cheeks. He needs to create an offense with the right guys in the right places. Smith shouldn't be shooting these shot. Period.

Better, but not by much. The point is we are going to be a bad 3pt shooting team regardless of who takes them, because we just don't have any consistent 3 pt shooters.

Whether KCP/Jennings take 10 three's and make 3 of them, or Smith takes 10 and makes 2 of them, I don't think thats the difference between us winning and losing games.

We just need better shooters. Until then, it really doesn't matter all that much which of our poor shooters takes them.
