so Pistons spent money to improve their roster, had a full training camp and the result what is? being a team whose ceiling is to win 44 games, like in 15-16? playing an awful basketball, too.

We spent money to repair gaping holes on our bench. We improved our team. Then we lost our main cog to injury. It happens.

Losing someone like Reggie Jackson tends to impact a team's W/L record. Again, I don't know what you expected from a team that lost the guy who they ran their entire offense through last year.

Our Pistons are actually playing about how i thought they would, problem is they can't win close games without Reggie. My concern is we will be so far under .500 by the time Reggie is back to full strength that playoffs will be unrealistic where we'd have to go on another post-Josh Smith like run. We dont have any players to dump this year.

I thought 7-12 or 8-11 (7-14 or 8-13 after the first two games of December). So you were higher on the Pistons than me. But now maybe you, or at least others are predicting we're a lottery team? It seems like a number of people have gone from one extreme to the other while I'm just standing still in the middle.

Honestly, I went for 8-11, but I thought we'd win one of the last four games.

We've looked so bad its made me wonder if we're going to win another game without Reggie Jackson in full strength. Harden spotted us one half basically and we still couldn't close the deal.

And if a game is close in the closing minutes, forget about it. Reggie was the only one who could perform under those circumstances.

Ended up 9-10 just like I thought... Pretty solid considering we're still without our starting PG, and our backup PG thus far was someone who was waived before the season started.

Looking forward to the month of December I think we can go 9-7 that month and be 18-17 heading into February where things to get easier for us from Feb - April.

With the Reggie injury, it was all about weathering the storm early without him, and after he comes back before he is back to normal.... we'll move into the 4 or 5 seed for the playoffs with out play come Feb-April.

We ended up right in the middle of what people thought. I thought we'd still be at about 8 wins even after this Boston game so they have exceeded my expectations.

We've now won 4 of 5 including beating the best team in the league and road wins versus two strong playoff teams.

So we ended 10-10 which was not an option.

:oops:
When I looked at the schedule on Google, it automatically changed the dates to Japanese times so the Boston game was said to be on Dec. 1st.
