Pistons have won 7 of 9 with the next two coming against TOR & CLE

After a 4-20 start they now find themselves 5.5 games out of the playoffs

Stuck-dogg is playing the best ball of his life; BK and Monroe are 10 year cornerstones; and they actually have one of the better 2nd units in the league

Wish they would have amnestied Charlie V tho

they still not good tho.

and they have a lot of interchangeble pieces...still a year or two away

Time will tell if this is fools gold or not

Musta got a shipment from SouthPhillyTruth Enterprises.

But they should.

This team with Unibrow coulda been on to something.

To tank

That seems like it would mess with a youngster's head

The most you can do to "tank" is to play your young players instead of playing your "best" players. Other than Tayshawn still starting, they are pretty much doing that...it didn't make sense at the beginning of the year when BK wasn't starting. Besides changing the lineup, you can't do anything else to "tank"...you can't expect the guys out there playing to not try as hard.

It's just that at this point, the young guys ARE the best players on the team. And whenever that's the case, it's good to let them play their best and develop...makes more sense to get a season of good chemistry and development going than to tank just to get a better chance in the lottery at the top pick. It would be different if there was no lottery and the worse record automatically got the fist pick in the draft. Besides that top pick, there isn't anyone worth tanking for.

so they were bound to get it going eventually.

But even more importantly, Stuckey playing up to his contract and like he wants to be there for a long time. Good for him.

he actually ooached

That's what I always liked about him. He works hard.

dude is clearly knowledgeable and a student of his craft.

Not entirely his fault though

and draw up a play at the end of the game he always came through with something perfect... avery johnson is literally the opposite

Let's not act like Frank is a better coach than AJ...because that's simply not true

7 of 9

Greg Monroe and Andre Drummond gettin ALL OF THE BOARDS

Stuckey coming back from injury, coincidentally BK has his best game of the season

and even Daye and Charlie V lookin useful

5 games back with 45 to play

still standing by my 7 seed prediction last spring

he was sounding wrong on that one.

i usually really like JVG too

and he's prolly right.

I heard the Wizards & maybe Cavs, I guess I missed him name the Pistons but the whole rant was sorta lighthearted/exagerrated-for-shock-value Van Gundy shit.

contraction itself is never happening, but the pistons...nah

last 25 years Chicago, Detroit, LA, San Antonio are the flagship franchises

and we're on the way back

There should be a number of factors that come into consideration IMO.

You should look a their history of the past 20 to 30 years or from the time they entered the league if they're a recent expansion team.

1) Do they have a tradition of winning? Have they, in the above period, shown some sustained success?

2) What are their attendance figures like? Do they have a strong season ticket base?

3) Are they in a large media market or small media market? A larger media market should get more consideration for sticking around.

If the above factors do not favor your team, you should be contracted. I think the following teams are prime candidates based on the above.

Bucks
Raptors
Hornets
Bobcats
Timberwolves
Kings (Before they were moved.)

The Pistons do not fall into that category. The last four years have been bad, but they had 5 straight runs to the ECF, two Finals, and one chip. And that's just the past 10 years. Prior to that was the Bad Boys with two chips and battles with the Lakers, Celtics and Bulls. Not to mention they have led the league in attendance many times over.

I'm all for contraction. Getting rid of 5 or 6 teams would result in a much, much stronger NBA. The talent pool would not be as diluted as it is now and the league would be much more competitive.

The two arguments for contraction:

One is that it would be good for the game, less diluted talent, blah blah blah. That would be the argument of the bigger market, generally uninformed, uneducated fan. Not that you are fundamentally wrong, just that you are simple.

The other argument is firmly rooted in the reality of what the NBA actually is: a business. It does NOT exist to placate you, Joe Hoops Fan, and your thirst for "more competitive basketball." It exists to make money, and teams in small markets can and do earn a profit when they are run well. Contraction makes little to no sense with this argument.

The Sixers are in a top 5 media market and are a bottom five team in attendance most years, even as a playoff team. You know that? The Pistons are basically the same. They should be at the top of the list under any rational contraction plan, right? Fuck history, aint got shit to do with MAKING MONEY. You guys kill me sometimes.

In any case, contraction if it ever happens, will be ONE team maximum. But in all likelihood it won't ever happen because it would cost the league at least half a billion to contract ONE team. Cmon. The Hornets JUST sold for $330 million. Do you guys even think this shit through?
