I'm trying to respect Your opinion because You seem passionate about. I just provided You with all kind of stats and facts. and all You offered up was a rebuttal of concrete evidence with nothing to back what You are saying. I'm in chill mode tonight. I will break down Your responses tomorrow. when I'm more on the basketball tip. No disrespect Gil but you spinning Your tires. I'm a homer but I'm also a realist. If there was no hope I would have no problem admitting to it. Check me out tomorrow when I'm sober. And post some non-emotional statistics to support Your claim.

None of this makes sense. You love basketball? What the fukk does that got to do with anything? No what you hate is, somebody that's spitting reality, because it's quite clear you can't deal with it. Yes of course it is possible to be on opposing sides, as I said I have no problem with you being optimistic, just don't be acting like your optimistic view of your squad has weight over a realistic one.

And that last bit was corny. Your job? Really? :rudy:

Tell me what big men have improved/thrived/developed under Jennings? What guards have improved/thrived/developed next to Smith?

Well the fact that I love basketball allows me to be passionate and unbiased about things. I've posted evidence of that. I post the overall shooting pecentage of a team and You say it means nothing. In what sport does FG% not mean anything? In what aspect of life does it not mean anything? You do live life in a way that You score and reach all Your goals at a high % right? You sounding like a loser when You make comments like that.

Here a few facts that You keep overlooking.

Pistons:

had the worst starting schedule of any team in the NBA. look up opposing teams win % and their road trips and try to rebut that

Have the largest roster turnover in the league this Year

Have a new coaching staff.

How is it that I hate reality when I am the only one posting stats to support My claim. And I will admit Me saying it was my job is a little corny, But The reality is You have offered nothing but opinions.

Larry Sanders did exceptionally well next to Jennings, All of the other Big men he played with have either been hurt or sucked. Andre Drummond's #s having improved this year since Jennings was inserted into the lineup. And so has Moose's, Smith has a history of playing with decent guards.

Your biggest problem is You are relying to much on the past to shape Your argument. both BJ and Smith come from Playoff teams. Neither have played with talented Bigs like Moose and Dre. Your argument is the offense of these guys when I have already proven that offense is not the problem? both Chauncey and Rasheed came to the Pistons with poor reputations. They improved. Smith has had consecutive good and effecient games since his benching. Jennings while not as effecient as Josh has had consecutive games with high production. They are not the problem. Team defense is the Problem. Like someone said previously Dre needs to be more of an anchor, and they need to communicate more... Chemistry issues.

As currently constructed the Pistons:
will be a playoff team. Tell me they won't.

They will get better with time.

They have the $, pieces and attractiveness to upgrade talent.

Moose and Dre are top 10 Bigs in this league.

yeah that was a dumb shot right after the turnover. i dont think he respects stuckey as a point guard (dont blame him i guess :manny:) once stuckey came in josh has been more ball dominant

We have to get rid of Stuckey. Try to unload Smith in the offseason and if not, we can trade Monroe for a proper wingman or lottery pick. KCP is going to be better than McLemore and Oladipo imo.

andres pick and roll defense proves they are not and have not learned how to properly defend the pick and roll. i can safely assume from now on atleast that aspect of defense can be put on coaching

i like the easy alley oops he is getting off the pick and roll from jennings though. they have already got some nice chemistry

Dre just needs to fix his form and he'll show more improvement, the left hand has too much control of the ball upon release, almost in a cork screw like fashion.

no social networking until five made free throws in a row. dre will start shooting at a 85% clip from the line

Josh Smith is pissed me off with him shooting damn 3pt.

Mo Cheeks is not the right coach for this team and Josh Smith is not a simply SF, He's a PF.
