Even if I don't believe it all the time, there's no way I'm not picking against the Pistons when they are getting double-digit points. But don't hold me to that for sure. That could change in a couple of weeks.

**Deleterious** · 11-25-2012, 12:25 PM

It's hard to give 12 points. Even if it is a blowout, who knows what will happen the last few minutes with the scrubs in.

I have seen plenty of games where a team is winning by 20+ most of the game. Only to end up winning by 10-15 because of scrub time.

**Deleterious** · 11-25-2012, 12:57 PM

Monroe needs 11 points to reach 2,000 for his career.

**DaBishop** · 11-25-2012, 01:44 PM

Id almost rather see our bench play more minutes then our starters

**DTroppens** · 11-25-2012, 01:45 PM

32-26 early in the second right now. Anthony might have the over already.

**Betrayer** · 11-25-2012, 01:45 PM

Charlie V? Really?

Doesn't really matter I guess. Bynum doesn't really like to pass anyway.

**DaBishop** · 11-25-2012, 01:49 PM

Not sure why I said "almost ".

Its not like we have young guys on the bench who could make better use of the PT

**DaBishop** · 11-25-2012, 01:56 PM

Drummond plays so hard. I love it. That was the one was the one concern. Without that concern this guy is gonna be such a monster

**Betrayer** · 11-25-2012, 02:10 PM

Knicks move the ball so well. I know they have more talent than us, but I still wish we would've gotten Woodson instead of Frank.

That was one of the constant theme knocks on him. It's not been an issue at all so far.

**DTroppens** · 11-25-2012, 02:17 PM

20-point deficit at the half for the Pistons.

**DaBishop** · 11-25-2012, 02:48 PM

Why does Prince have by far the most shot attempts? Why cant we get him on the bench?

**Deleterious** · 11-25-2012, 02:53 PM

Monroe now has 200 career steals. And 2,000 career points.

**DaBishop** · 11-25-2012, 02:55 PM

Good to see Monroe go right back at sheed there

**Deleterious** · 11-25-2012, 03:01 PM

8 shots for Monroe after 3 quarters is terrible. Frank needs to do a better job of making the entire team force feed him.

**Betrayer** · 11-25-2012, 03:04 PM

I'm worried for Drummond's young, impressionable mind just being on the court at the same time as Sheed.

**Deleterious** · 11-25-2012, 03:16 PM

Knicks are shooting 48% from behind the line.

This team really is terrible.

**ScrubBeaterUpper** · 11-25-2012, 04:30 PM

Jonas passed on the depth chart by Charlie V. Charlie V started chucking. And hitting.... I am OK with Charlie (because Jerebko is horrible so far) because the last 4 years have made me turn on these weak *** pump fakers. Shoot the ball, someone.

**DTroppens** · 11-25-2012, 09:29 PM

I had to listen to the fourth quarter on the radio on my way to curling in Midland. Yes, I actually listened to the rest of the game. Can't figure out why, but I did.

Could any of the Piston guards make the starting line-up of any other NBA team?

**Nastradamus** · 11-25-2012, 11:51 PM

I know everyone thinks its fun to hate on Stuckey, but whatever is going on with him this year is bizarre. Like his game or not, he's normally twice as good as this and reportedly worked harder than ever this offseason(though he's always been known as our hardest worker)

**ScrubBeaterUpper** · 11-25-2012, 11:57 PM

Stuck is definitely getting lost in the shuffle. Frank has been better than Q with the rotation but not really that much. Still too many players taking too many shots. Need to focus in on your go to players and then have your complimentary guys. The 2nd unit right now, on paper at least, is a mess, which is inexcusable, because they individually have talent, they just all need to handle the ball. I have no clue who thought Bynum/Stuck/Maggette would be a smart combination. Well, Frank I guess.

I've never really known him as one of our hardest workers. Of course, I have no clue what happened during training sessions. But, he's always good for one or two strong "funks" during the season where he seems to have that victim sense to his game.

Working on what? His pout? His 40 yard stare? Putting his fingers in his ears? Rushing straight to the basket and missing a layup? Dribbling out the shot clock? Getting his coach fired?

Stuckey was once a young player with potential. Now he's an veteran who has never lived up to his potential.

**DTroppens** · 11-26-2012, 10:36 AM

And it seemed to me when he was asked to try to diversify his game for the squad's sake that he was very reluctant to that idea.

These player revolts kind of start meshing after awhile, so I had to check this, but I thought he was once benched for not entering a game, and I was right. Found a link.

Hey Joe! You out there?

Time to start looking for trade partners for Stuckey, Jerebko, Daye, and other assets that might be young enough to still get a look from another team. Maybe you could even make the other team take one of our bad contracts in return (Tay, CV).

How about you get off your well-fed butt and do your job once this decade.

You wouldn't be so upset if you got involved in the prop bets. It takes some of the sting away.

**Betrayer** · 11-26-2012, 04:18 PM

Yeah, I just continued my usual losing bet by re-upping my season tickets

It's a good thing I like NBA ball regardless of my team losing so much. Now, if we could just get Joe to give us an actual NBA team to match up against the ones that keep coming in here and beating up on us like we're a practice squad, that'd be great.

Agree all the way around. Those who still support Joe are living in yesteryear. Sure, he got lucky with one championship, but that was a decade a go, and he hasn't made one good move since then.
