Detroit Are the Worst Basketball Team In the League

[T_L_P]

:facepalm

[Proctor]

Yep. /thread

[CelticBaller]

and the worst ran organization

someone get Monroe and Drummond out of there :facepalm

[TaLvsCuaL]

Rubioless Minnesota is not much better

[bdreason]

and the worst ran organization

someone get Monroe and Drummond out of there :facepalm


Monroe will be a UFA this summer, so he's gonna get the MAX somewhere else. Drummond gets to spend the next few years with Jennings and J-Smooth though. :oldlol:


SVG doesn't have the personnel to run his system, but he's still trying to run it. This team has no shooters, and the spacing is horrendous.

[Im so nba'd out]

Pistons would go undefeated in college bball and win national championship we wouldnt go undefeated (sixers) so they are still better than us

[sportsfan76]

Those dickheads didn't scored 1 pt in OT:facepalm

I'm pretty sure he means are/is.

Instead of 'Detroit are the worst basketball team in the league' you should have:

Detroit is the worst basketball team in the league.
The Pistons are the worst basketball team in the league.
The Detroit Pistons are the worst basketball team in the league.

What is Josh Smith paid to do?

I accept the loss.

With Stan being the coach and with them being in the East, yes. I thought they'd at least compete for a Playoff spot. Damn was I wrong. :lol

Yep.

They need to move Monroe or Smith ASAP. Even if it's 60

The Knicks have that title. :no:

[Detroit]

Like someone mentioned earlier, the Pistons don't have the right personnel to run what SVG is calling.

That draft pick that we lost last year to the Hornets set us back, but then again so did all of Dumars's boneheaded signings and trades.

At the end of the day, its going to take SVG about 3 seasons to get the Pistons back to respectability.

yeah it's way too early. it's going take a couple years. they've got to lose now and clear house.

[imdaman99]

Rubioless Minnesota is not much better
Both have beaten the Knicks :pimp:

76ers haven't though :mad:

[buddha]

George from Seinfeld is who he reminds me of

[coin24]

Wait till Meeks comes back:rockon:

But yeah the Pistons are an embarrassment.. Need to get rid of Jennings and Smith ASAP..

[andremiller07]

Drummond the next great big :roll:

[sportsfan76]

what is Josh Smith Paid to do?

[GOBB]

what is Josh Smith Paid to do?

Rumors they were shopping him this past offseason one year after giving him that deal pairing him with monroe/drummond.

At any rate if Sixers fans are embarrassed at their team. What do you have TL say about the pistons?

[DamnMixes]

My GOD it's a shame watching this team floating like shit in the sea

Still remember that mid 00s era, ben blocking the shit outta shaq, prince with that block on miller, rasheed runnin his mouth, mr big shot b b b billups http://i.imgur.com/O1bf3Gm.png

[DamnMixes]

But it's amazing how deep bad this team is, it's like Dumars was literally trying to sign any well known player that was left.

This combination of andre, monroe and smith is on some marbury/francis shit

[gin17]

One of the worst last plays ever: jennings had a clear fastbreak path to the basket to tie the game, but instead he passed to josh smith for a three. How bad is that...

[Rake2204]

One of the worst last plays ever: jennings had a clear fastbreak path to the basket to tie the game, but instead he passed to josh smith for a three. How bad is that...Smith should have been rolling or crashing or something aside from spotting up from the arc, but Jennings was going to get his shot swatted before he had a chance to float it up. Ibaka was ready and waiting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nLd5d88kHg

I don't think passing was a bad idea. Rather, passing to Josh Smith for 3 was a bad idea.


is Stan Van Gundy a terrible coach? why are so much worse than last year?Virtually everything I'm about to say might come out sounding ridiculous. But I think SVG has done a solid job so far. He knows what he's doing, he takes full accountability and perhaps most importantly - he holds his players accountable just as well.

Brandon Jennings actually hasn't been too shabby this year, and that may have been due to the aid of Van Gundy benching him in two fourth quarters earlier this season when he was being mega-bad Jennings. Now, I'd still prefer Jennings gone, but Van Gundy's not putting up with as much of his business as others did.

He also has Josh Smith taking the least amount of threes per game since 2010 (p.s. how'd they convince Smith not to shoot ANY threes in 2010? What was difference about that one year - he took 7 total - versus every other season? And why didn't it stick?)

As to why they're so much worse than last year - this will sound ridiculous again, but I think they were hurt by losing Rodney Stuckey and Will Bynum. I figure, if you take a team that only won 29 games to begin with, and you remove one of its top scorers (Stuckey) then trade one of the only means another player had of scoring (Drummond via Bynum alley-oops; Will also averaged 9ppg), it could create an even bigger problem. I think Meeks was supposed to fill a Stuckey-like void but he has yet to play.

Also, the Pistons have a few more wasted possessions per game this year simply from trying to let Drummond practice on his post game. They really only let him try to do some post moves 2-5 times a game, but it doesn't help from a winning perspective.

Overall, the team's bad. They're missing one of the game's most important elements - the ability to score. SVG can't make the available shots for them.

[bdreason]

Will Bynum won them at least a handful of games last season with his play in the 4th quarter. Not sure why they traded him to Boston. :confusedshrug:


Losing Stuckey wasn't a huge loss, but not having Meeks, their only reliable 3pnt shooter, has certainly hurt. If you've noticed over the past couple games SVG has been playing Singler more... because the team desperately needs someone who can shoot the ball to create some operating space.

[JellyBean]

I thought my Timberwolves were bad. Shoot. The Pistons beat us out of that ranking. Wow. The Pistons are the worst followed by my Timberwolves.

[WallIn]

Pistons are ridiculous.

Detroit, NYK and T-wolves are the three worst teams in the league. I exclude 76ers because they at least try.

TWolves are only that shit cause Pek/Martin are out (and Rubio/Young have missed time as well) otherwise they are much better. They have basically played without there 4 best player for most the season.
