Top Listener Email: Mike from Ypsi!!!

Dats ma fav part in the show I swear I be catchin myself sayin it wit yall! LOL. First off I’m loving the dropping of 2 shows within 5 days of each other, you know I love my PISTONS and you know I love my PISTONSCAST! Keep em comin guys dis is gon last forever! Oh and shoutouts to you guys for shouting me out on the show! I’m lovin it! Also shoutout to the die-hard PISTONS fans round the world especially dem dudes in Toyko and Australia.

I know I’m being a lil long winded but it’s been a while since I wrote in so I gots some catching up to do.

To my third point…Tayshaun Prince I see you guys don’t agree with what I said about him and hey I love the guy too, he is and always will be one of the best players to don a PISTONS uniform. Key part of our championship run. I know that his mindset, skill, determination, and court savvy are unmatched by prolly 75% of other players in the leauge, however, I said I wouldn’t mind trading him because in the end even with all that he’s still a weak player out there and that gives us a weakness.

Yeah it was cool when he first got to leauge you know it was kinda cute and funny. “Awww he’s so little.” or “Damn dat fool skinny as hell he gon have to bulk up!” But after 7 years in the leauge and no progress towards his weight teams are and will find ways to attack his weakness and exploit that. Remember in game six the one we lost when Tayshaun grabbed the rebound and he was standing there holding the ball and little old 2nd year player named Rondo came and stole the ball right out of his hands!!! AHHHHHHHH bad memories! WEAK!! Dez youngs dudes is coming into this leauge NBA ready and 200 plus already. TAY u gotta catch up baby!

That Rondo comment brings me to my fourth and last point of this particular email. I looked up Tay’s stats for last years season and playoffs and John I challenge you to do the same (and I know you will).

Season Stats:  Rebs: 4.9    Asst: 3.3    T.O.: 1.10   PPG: 13.2

Philly Series:   Rebs: 5.0    Asst: 2.8    T.O.: 2        PPG: 16.3

Orlando Ser.:  Rebs: 7.6    Asst: 4.0    T.O.: 1.8    PPG:  15.6

C’mon guys I love Tay jus as much as you do but like the great Jay-Z say “MEN LIE, WOMEN LIE BUT NUMBERS DONT!” There’s the numbers and the proof right there. And dont try to say it’s the last series and maybe he was tired because he played 82 games plus all the playoff games, when the heat is on and it’s time to win a championship it’s time to get down to business and win VETERAN! Not let a 2nd year player snatch the ball outta yo heads! Pierce didn’t get tired, Ray-Ray aint get tired, Garnett aint get tired, hell that big ugly dude from Beumont, TX aint even get tired!

So I wont take that as an excuse. I‘m sorry but the numbers and the video footage because I still got dat game on my DVR (dont ask me why) all say that our boy Tayshaun FLAKED!!!

Sorry so long but I jus had a lot to say dis time…An hey like I said earlier great show u kno im lovin it u kno i needs ma PISTONSCAST!

Yo boy,
