CV is a piss poor defender, always has been, always will be. Maxiel is not. Max is a better defender. Pistons already have too many offensive oriented players. Losing Jonas really hurts this because Pistons replaced his defensive production with offensive only production in Daye and CV. These guys are redundant, two offensively oriented jumpshooting PFs. There are simply too many redundancies on this roster.
Stuck/Gordon/Daye/CV/Monroe IMo is a train wreck waiting to happen, no defense at all. Pistons need defensive players out there. A team that is primarily offensive oriented will never win anything.
We can talk about crappy rotations all we want, but at the end of the day defense is what wins games and Pistons don't haeve it
And what happened with Prince and Wallace on the court??
I realize Max is a better defender than CV, no argument there, but why isn't he playing?? If he was going to make that much of an impact, he'd play. Monroe and CV are the ones getting minutes because they can make an impact.
CV has been much improved this season. He won't be a good defender, but he's shown that's he's changed his attitude, and really that's the only thing you can ask. Attitude and effort are the reason guys like Jonas play i this league. (Not comparing CV to Jonas, just saying his effort and attitude have picked up)
I realize you don't like CV and You probably realize I like the guy - We'll always have to agree to disagree.
As for the young line up- I'd rather see our young guys try their hearts out rather than see the vets overhandle the ball and try to be "the man". The results are the same, we're not winning.
Also Daye had a good line, but he could produced more at the SF.
He didn't get a chance, and it's a shame. He got those numbers on Aldridge and camby, he would have gone nuts on Batum. At least he's getting minutes I guess.
