Pistoncast Support Group!!!

Hi, My Name is LOQuent and right now is rough, very rough *swallowing hard* **sniff**

I’ve been living in Sweden for a couple of years now so my Pistons’ routine begins the second I wake up combing over the scores and stats of the latest game before I even get out of bed but now… I begin my days with a broken heart because even little league teams (Bulls/Wizards) are stomping my Pistons into oblivion on a regular basis and I can’t figure out why.

I read an article the other day that summed up what I’ve been thinking the entire time. It’s time for the Pistons’ organization, fans and anyone else to let go of the image of a hardworking blue collar defensive team because we don’t have that anymore. I’d like to see what Joe D. signed us up for this summer — a team of shooters (no relation to Agent Zero). We should be blowing teams’ backs out with the sheer brute force of our scoring, period. Looking at the team you can name at least 5 decent mid-to-long range shooters with 1 or 2 more heading toward that arena. Why not spread the floor out and allow Retro Big Ben to do what he does best, grab offensive rebounds?

To be honest you all know damn near everything I’d rant on about but I’m going to go on the line and say that Joe needs to seriously consider getting rid of both Tay and Rip for a scoring/defensive PF/C. I personally think that their seniority on the team is a waste since neither has shown any true signs of leadership thus contributing to our current state. We have a AAA 2 guard, and a flexible point/shooting guard in Stuckey, so why not free up the bottleneck? Prince is a small price to pay when we have the rookie combo of the Swede/Daye and can plop CV31 there anytime.

I need to go to bed but thank you John for letting me rid myself of a little frustration, it’s probably not good for either 2 year old or 3 month old for their Daddy to be this stressed and thank you all for letting me share… Let’s just hope I wake up in a few hours to some good news for a change…

Hi, my name Deven. I am standing near the edge of a cliff (in the Detroit area). I’m not jumping off it. This team isn’t worth it. What will go off it is all of my Pistons paraphernalia. That’s right, I’m sending all I’ve ever owned (Detroit Pistons) off this cliff to live with the fishes!

List: 1. All of my Pistons Jerseys and gear
2. My favorite Pistons drinking glass
3. My signed Lindsey Hunter Kids night T-shirt from 1998.
4. My Rip Hamilton and Chauncey Billups bobble heads.
5. My authentic, stolen seat cover from the Silverdome when they were the Bad Boys
6. All of my many Detroit Pistons trading cards that I’ve had since I was a minor.
7. My cherished, Isiah Thomas posters, including the one that covered the entire back of my door when I was a young buck.
8. And all my memories.

Once again, my name is Deven and Like Eminem said, “I’m cleaning out my freaking closet!”

Hi my name is John. I want the number one pick so we can draft John Wall!

IT’S FINALLY OVER!

Hi, my name is Astrid, and I am addicted to tuna.

Great to see you guys back! :]

Happy 2010 - Go Deeetroit!

OT win over the Hornets?!?! Sure we should have blew them out by 30 with Summers getting some minutes in but who’s complaining? We’ll take it!

21 Rebounds for Wallace and 32 for Hamilton! Stuckey showed true leadership by not shying away from the ball in OT when he couldn’t hit a whale from 2 inches in the first 4.

The pistons definitely need a trade
how do u guys feel about rip and maxiell 4 Gerald Wallace or Chris kaman

Astrid!!!!

I love Chris Kaman!!! GO CENTRAL MICHIGAN!!!

There’s no way in hell that they’re going to give up Kaman with Griffin out. They’re most likely going to keep even Camby and his expiring contract.

I just read that Stuckey had to go to hospital a couple of nights ago to have his fluids replenished before the Knicks game.

I’ve been really impressed with Stuck this year, I saw him at the end of the Hornets game giving his all and looking like he was going to collapse from exhaustion.

Give the young fella some love! :]

He’s far exceeding anything I’d expect from him. Leading through action, not words.

@ Astrid - Stuckey is maturing in leaps and bounds and beginning to stop deferring to Hamilton which makes our trade options even more viable (though Hamilton has stepped the hell up , as of late).

I say Prince/Maxiell should do the trick in the trade department but am willing to part ways with Hamilton is the player is write.

*filling out Pistons GM Jr. application right now*

As much as Prince is loved for his intangibles (notably IQ), I dunno how much value we’ll get since he’s faded a lot recently.

I don’t care who’s traded (besides younger players and Wallace!) if we can get a dependable big man with presence. :]

No one wants Maxiell!!! You know we don’t!

LOQuent is right! Prince is the top asset on team unless you get rid of a healthy Ben Gordon or Charlie V…

Maxiell started believing he was in a westerner and the de facto shooter when he dropped a jumper or two then *pause*

That loss hurt because without any real scorers besides stuckey and CV31 we were in there until that damn run in the 4th. I felt that Daye really wanted to drop 3s and rushed it waaay too much. Ben Wallace shot a 3, which was hella funny though.

As far as Price is concerned any contender team would LOVE to have him since he can provide excellent defense and is a good 3rd option for scoring.

If the season finishes in the manner it is currently “transpiring”, does Coach Q get axed? Dumars seems to lack patience in his coaches. I can’t believe I am saying this, but I am beginning to lack for patience with Dumars. I have been totally unconvinced that the money he spent this offseason was wisely spent. His best pickup was Big Ben, a Suns castoff. Going on Youtube to watch Bad Boys videos to remind myself of happier times.

Kuester will stay. I think Joe D will look worse by firing him. He needs to give him a chance so fans dont point too many fingers at old rainbow shooting Joe D.
