Detroit Pistons just sent me a survey...

...among the questions:

-Rate your satisfaction with this season's win / loss performance on a 1 to 10 scale.
-Select up to 3 players on the roster you enjoy watching most
-How many games on TV have you watched this season?
-How many games on radio have you listened to this season?
-Select up to three emotions to describe your current feelings about the team (choices included miserable, sad, embarrassed, disgusted, ashamed and bored along with three or four positive choices such as "happy" and "satisfied")
-Describe your opinion of the team or organization using up to three words or phrases
-If your fandom has decreased compared to five years ago, please explain why.

I was pleasantly surprised to have gotten this survey in my inbox. I followed the team's Facebook page a few years back, downloaded their Android app last fall, and bought single game e-tickets back in early November that I never wound up using. I presume they obtained my email address via one of those avenues.

Who knows if this is kayfabe or if fan feedback will actually be taken into consideration when making off-season decisions...

I do sincerely hope Troy Weaver is handed his walking papers.

If you haven't answered already, you should give them sarcastically high rankings.

Sounds like a possible data farm deal.

I gave honest answers to each question, which means in assessing the current direction of the team, I gave the worst scores possible. I also strongly criticized the job performance of Troy Weaver.

Figured I had nothing to lose by providing my honest opinion.

Why am I finding this hilarious? :lol

If I received this survey I'd cram the essay answer section with several variations of: "This is the worst Pistons performance in my entire history as a devoted fan".

What purpose does this serve? Do the players liked the most get their contracts renewed?

Maybe the next survey will have "Circle the plays you like".

Save money. Tom Gores can replace Troy Weaver and Monty Williams. Every time Detroit gets the ball, the players look over at a Fan Base panel for signs of what to do next.

Silliness aside, I agree with Freak. This is some sort of marketing thing.

I've completely lost interest in the Pistons.

They won tonight but Washington is also terrible too.

Fire Troy Weaver that is what I'd write down for all the questions.
