Pistons staying put with starters

[gladdyontherise]

The Detroit Pistons need to change their starting lineup. They are getting old. They use to be a dominant team for a couple of years but now they are staying behind. This years championship will be between the Lakers and Celtics again

trust me, they will be fine. Rasheed can still drain the 3 point shot or get his shot in the post when he chooses, he needs to be more assertive though.

Tayshaun gets the 3 pointer and is a top defender

Rip, i hate him, never liked him. hope Stuckey gets his spot

Chauncey "Mr. Big Shot" Billups, need i say more?

McDyess/Kwame, well this is are only weakness, McDyess is better suited as a 6-man

and a very good bench
Afflalo, Stuckey, Maxiell, Amir Johnson, etc

Pistons got all the tools.

They just have to have that same passion like they did in their championship years. It may be just me, but I seriously think they were lacking the killer instinct. I'd know what killer instinct is cause the Rockets has been missing it for a long time. (Now we don't.... Thank you Artest!)

agree 10000000%
they need the defensive swagger they had with big ben, who since leaving the pistons has been awful! the pistons still have a top 5 defensive team in the league i think.

and blame yao for the lack of killer instinct

ok. here we go. I really wanted and thought pistons should have made a move in the offseason. then i started to look at it and now i think they still have a chance. i think curry will sub more and keep the starters fresh. they are getting older and need more rest for when the playoffs come and then the bench will be ready by then as well. Stuckey, Maxiell, and afflalo will all contribute very well this year and stuckey and maxiell bring a lot of toughness to them.
Overall-The pistons will place 2nd during the season but make it to the finals\

Rest of East- Mark this down---The HEAT will be a top 3 team in the east this year. and no im not joking. D-Wade is healthy(We all saw him in the olympics) and have beasly and the matrix. Those 3(mainly wade) will carry them far.

What are the feelings about Amir?

What are the feelings about Amir?

my brother had an internship over the summer and got to watch them play and here how the organization felt about the players.

the pistons like Amir alot! they just want him to get stronger still, since he looks like bones

[joe31]

i think amir will be good in a couple years. after mcdyess retires he will get to play more

You still got questions regarding chemistry and depth.

Beasly isn't the most humble guy out there.

And I don't see that much depth. Compete with other teams that 3 stars like Houston, Pistons, Celtics, Spurs, the role players for yall will be exposed.

And for Amir, I wanted him when he was a restricted free agent. But Detroit did the right thing and dared others to give him an offer.

I think that is what we are doing with Landry.

No way...Beasley is too much hype right now...him and Chalmers on the same team doesn't look too good right now. They don't even have a decent big man! Mark Blount as the starting center? Yeah, right! lol

Will they make the playoffs? Yes, but will they be a top 3 team in the east? Absolutely not. The top 4 are Boston, Cleveland, Orlando and Philly. There's not even an 'M' in there! lol

ok we will see when the season starts.
