PRESEASON : PISTONS VS PACERS 7PMEST

I think this is probably our best overall lineup. Our best defenders at each postition, capable shooters at all 4 spots around Dre, 3 ball handlers who can create their own off the dribble and penetrate in RJ/SJ/MM, 3 post options in AD/SJ/MM, pick and roll options with RJ/AD/SJ, midrange options with MM/KCP/SJ/RJ, rebounding with AD/SJ/RJ. They are athletic and can all play multiple spots too.

Having two competent stretch fours and deciding which starts is a good problem to have.

Bingo. How many teams even have one 3 and in stretch let alone 2?

Versatility is this teams footprint, and the mark they will make on the league.

Mark my words.

Yeah its got to happen eventually and with Indiana having already played us once, they will be ready.

I said last game would be his stinker then he turned it into a good one late.

If I had to pick it would be this one.

Of course he is starting tonight....

Ilyasova has gotten a ton of opportunities and open looks, it'll be interesting to see how Morris does with those chances.

Too many in here sleeping on this team still..I mean if the team last year post Smith could go .500...please this team could easily be an above .500 team..people are just scared to get their hopes up..I get it.
Oh I get it. Years of unreal success, followed by years of disaster makes people gun shy even when the obvious is staring them in the face.

Like you said.500 after that horrific start with all the poor players we had. All we have done is upgrade at important positions, and talent all around.

Unless something horrible happens, or the team just doesn't gel, it's obvious this is a good team. I mean dead to rights obvious.

TWO starting point gaurds, including the one that had us on a sick run that includes everyone but moose who was killing our offense. Also for bonus a veteran pg, and yet another pg in Dinwiddie.

Two SG's one in Pope that's growing, and one that's finally healthy (meeks) not to mention both Johnson and bullock who can play at that position.

Holy CRAP upgrade city at the SF position. Morris+Johnson+surprisingly bullock is an automatic +10 wins. Have people forgotten just how bad that position was for us last year? This upgrade is just so massive it bares repeating. HOLY CRAP what an upgrade.

PF last year was a dreadful fit in moose, and Tolliver. Now Tolliver won't play but in foul trouble or injury situations. This is our most dynamic position now. Erson, Morris, Stanley, baynes, Tolliver. Huge upgrade especially when considering fit.

At Center we now have Baynes, and joel. What a luxury to have three legitimate centers, all with styles that fit the system.

I get wanting to hedge bets, but this is clearly the best coached, best rostered, and most talented Pistons team since 07, period. It's okay to say that. Could there be problems? Of course no one can predict the future but everything is in place that much is obvious.

AMEN

Yeah, he took a big poop on Hill in the Drew League, if I remember correctly.

I'll be very surprised if SJ has a bad game in the pre-season. I know he will have some in the regular season, but how bad? I can see some bad Offensive outings, but he is going to bring it on D.

kurtis48239 · Post #34 » by **kurtis48239** » Tue Oct 13, 2015 10:59 pm

So will the pacers be streaming this game so we can watch it on pistons.com?I really do hate watching it on those streaming websites,oh well beggers cant be chosers.

kurtis48239 · Post #35 » by **kurtis48239** » Tue Oct 13, 2015 11:01 pm

I think we win this game,now that jackson is back and has had some time to play with the guys,not to mention morris being a better defender than ersan,he should do at least avg against pg.Really hoping kcp has a good game and shows he can on the road.

ya illy has been disappointing, but he's also been in turkey most of season. he's barely had time to get his legs under him and understanding of the system
