bottom line: we have no answer for cavs yet. we have big problems against sterch fours. we need better defenders at pf. ryan anderson is not the answer. patrick paterson?

One thing that was clear, with that kind of depth, we need upgrades at almost every bench position if we want to contend.

How is losing to Cleveland a bad loss?

They're 33-12 and have the 3rd best record in the league.

Ummm somebody help me out. I got a notification that pistonr quoted a post of mine but I have it on my ignore list. Maybe somebody can respond to it for me because I refuse to even entertain certain posters on here.

So Twitter says Reggie Jackson is a team killer and blah blah blah...

What happened?

Ersan's inability to shoot off screens and slow release really hurts his value as a stretch 4.

Your right lol. Still I think its funny how losing to the cavs automatically makes the pistons a terrible team to some people around here. We have beaten them before and have proven we can beat anyone, they just happend to play crazy on offense tonight.

I didn't say they are bad. I said they are not that good. they fired their coach for a reason.

He turned it over twice in a row down 11 with 3 min left and people think that was the reason we lost.

Hey man I think Ilyasova gets too much of a free pass around here. He's literally the only guy on the team we're asking to score and nothing else. We don't even expect him to defend and he's still inconsistent. But people love to whip on KCP when he's out there hustling and defending like crazy even when he's not scoring good.

Being impatient is probably what happened. Anyone want to let me know how that went with Joe D? We have GREAT building blocks that should get better, SJ, Dre, RJ, and KCP.

So we lost to a top 3 team. No surprise at this stage of development.... agree with blkbrd that Reggie deserves a mulligan... for the most part he's been pretty damn good in the clutch.
This years squad is taking the top tier teams to the wire.... gotta knock on the door b4 kicking it down.

It's Twitter that's what happened. It's an ass source for good basketball analysis.
