Detroit Pistons 2021/22

Unread post by moldyoldie »

I've never seen so many clinks, clanks, and airballs from an NBA team! :? ...seemingly always followed by clean swishes on the other end. :roll:

I suppose it doesn't help when you have two kids (Cunningham and Hayes) running the offense. This team better get their shooting eyes straight before the season gets away from them.

Will the Pistons ever be relevant again? It's been 13 Goddamn years since they've done anything of note. It's getting harder and harder to sit down and enjoy a game from anyone!

They were making the ECF as late as 2007-08. Ever since then, it's been a crash and it seems at best, most years, we're mid to bottom pack. I just don't get it.

It doesn't surprise me that the Pistons are dead last in a thirty-team league in team shooting percentage. :rolleyes I think they should hire a team optometrist. :razz

I think you saw the "greater defensive intensity" last night in a win over the Pacers. Sub-100 point games should be the nightly goal for this team, as it's been for every successful Pistons team.

Rumors are afloat of a possible Ben Simmons for Jeremi Grant trade. :shock: Why in the world would the Pistons want to take aboard the NBA's biggest problem child? :roll:

The good news: Cade Cunningham is taking over this team! I'm not sure how injured Kelly Olynyk's presence can improve the team's horrendous shooting.

This was the 11th post here and the statement could still be true when the season ends.

It’s really tempting to get this to 82 or something.
