Hey guys I have been at BMT (basic military training) since Dec 11 and am now in my first week of tech school. I have not seen/heard about pistons basketball. NE1 mind filling me in. All I know is Mohammed got traded. I would love to go back through and read all the topics but I really don't have any time to do it. Thanks! :lol:

Well we have had two Moderators step down in the past week in Cowology and Manocad. Ajax82 has stepped into the Moderating role in place of them.

^He meant about the team. :lol:

In any event, you missed an incredible 11 game winning streak in which we basically destroyed everyone in our path and won a nailbiter against the Celtics to give them 3 losses (then). The streak was then followed by a bit of a slump, which we have (hopefully) passed over after winning 4 straight.

Rip has heated up in a big way after the slow start, Tay still doesnt have it together and Billups and Sheed have been their usual selves. Dice has quited since the fast start in terms of scoring, but is still crashing the boards.

Another interesting note I found when looking at the schedule. Before these previous two games, either Rip or Billups had led us in 17 of the last 18 games. :o

As for the bench, Amir has recently (seemingly) entered the rotation and has been great at rebounding and blocking shots but is still searching for his offensive game. Afflalo is solid defensively and has shown some offensive ability, but most feel isnt getting enough time. Stuckey has shown a few flashes, but still doesnt have it together yet. And Maxiell looks like a slower, lamer version of his early season self. Jarvis has been a trainwreck, and the guys we got for Nazr are benchwarmers who's names I wont bother mentioning.

Anything else?

It's all summed up nicely in the "Nasty News" sticky.

Thanks everyone. I heard about the winning streak and the slump. I'm in the Air Force Tech School. I get up at 0430 and work until either 1600 or 1800. It doesn't leave much time for the pistons.
