This unit needs to play a lot more..

I truly think the team is better suited as a small ball unit. Even letting Highsmith play more of the 5.

Not sure i trust any other big on the roster besides Bam and Zeller.

Pistons coach given instructions to lose the game. 4th quarter blowout by Heat.

Well it doesn't inspire a lot of confidence but I'll take it!

I really enjoy the fact that Herro focused on becoming a top ft shooter. coming into the draft the negative was freethrow shooting.. and the theory was his injuries in college were preventing him from being from accurate but his form would win out. Seems like its won out. Good for him.

Spoelstra has been using smoke and mirrors to get these fringe nba players to contribute for years now, DON'T PAY THEM! Either replace them with minimums or make a trade to bring some better players to fill out the roster.

AirP, i do think Vincent is having an off year. I dont think hes that bad, but him and Strus picked a bad time to sheeit the bed

I don't think he's all that good and it'll be interesting to see how much money they hand him this summer, they didn't sign Dragic last year or this year because they wanted Vincent to be their next starting PG. Good luck with that.

Yes, early on they had some stat about points, rebounds and assists for Miami where he, D.Wade and Bam were the only Heat players to do them.

I guess we'll get to see that if Miami makes it past the play-in game. I'm pretty sure he's not going to do that well against good defenders on him. Catch and Shoot, sure, anything else... no.

All 3 of the bottom teams have 52.1 percent chance for top 4 pick and 14% chance for #1. Pistons are 16-56. Charlotte who are the fourth worst team are 22-50. There are 10 games to play.

Do you really think it's necessary to try to lose? Pistons are going to be one of the 3 worst teams no matter how hard they play now.

Rule #1 of tanking: Take no chances. Tank till the treads come off.

I remember when we could trade him in the offseason because we had Oladipo

You can trade him with or without Oladipo. Hard to believe that this team could actually win games without him playing huh? So far Miami is 7-7 without Herro and 3 of those loses were without Bam with a guy still in HS starting in his place.

Also, Oladipo isn't a PG, he's a SG and needs a PG handing the ball and not him, not sure why he's been playing PG.
