  1. What will end up being longer? Pistons losing streak in games or Costa's schnoz in centimeters?

  2. Absolutely. At what point will people start to get that this travesty is coming from within management? Anyway. It amazes me how people keep trying to bring it back to 'it's mostly the players fault.' It's Ausar can't shoot. Killian not driving the lane. Ivey needs to slow down and Cade's turnovers. Yes the guys around him can't shoot but when Cunningham, as you say, is trying to drop dimes and they can't hit the shot we get upset when he's trying to create for himself and loses the ball.

    Whatever else is said the truth remains that the players are not the ones putting the lineups on the floor. Check out what Chuck Daly once said: (My apologies if I already posted this but things are so dire now I think it bears reposting)

    Excerpt

    "…I'd use Vinnie Johnson,
    Dennis Rodman and John Salley off the bench the Same Way most every night. I'd use Rodman and Salley at the end of the game, when I needed stops, but then I'd have to make sure I had Three Shooters out there WITH them."

    Daly didn't say 'I'd bring them off the bench one night then start them the next game then bring them off the bench again 2 days later.' No. He said he would bring them "off the bench the Same Way Most Every Night" instead of confusing player with these schizophrenic lineups we're seeing. Even with that though, what Shooters on this team can be on the floor with him besides Bojan and Burks whose lost his long-range Mojo along with Livers not finding the rang either. What a dilemma.

  3. Somewhere, someone signed a deal with the devil for the Lions turn around and didn't read the fine print. but the pistons will end up Detroit's new sports embarrassment
