    Lopez with 17 and 10 against a big front court.

    Legit? I think so.

    You've joined a not so elite club, LOL.

    While I like their talent, it doesn't match well. They really need an LMA/Scola/David West-type player, and instead they got J smoove and Jennings. They'll be dangerous when they match their talent up.

    Detroit is a nice team, if their bigs can stay healthy. Monroe/Drummond/Smith is a sick front line, Jennings is solid, and Stuckey should be starting at SG over Billups.

    Fun team to watch, and a win that doesn't seem like much now, but will when the Pistons end up being a 6-seed in the East and maybe win a series.

    If he was only a better passer, the shot would've gone in.

    Jennings = Much better ball handler. Much better defender.

    If you swapped Batum for Smith on the Pistons they would be elite.

    Jennings is good, but they need to move one of their power forwards. Houston would be a good trade partner if they had anything to trade them. Maybe a three teamer trade with Asik going somewhere and a shooting guard coming to Detroit.

    Looking at our schedule, we need to take care of business this month. This is going to be our easiest month.

    Team rebounding is the story of the season so far to me.

    Yeah, more like Mo Williams Prime, as in Superman Prime.

    I would never trade Batum for Smith anyway lol I'm just sayin'... Smith is a low BBIQ player that is holding the Pistons back.

    Detroit is an odd team. Monroe and Drummond are fairly efficient big men - but they have Stuckey and Jennings chuck up almost 40 shots?

    BTW, who told Lopez there was a hole in the basket? :clap:

    I was thinking about the same thing. Historically, I don't even really like Batum, but no way would I swap him for Smith. Monroe is a different story though.

    Me too. I just want that effort on the boards. I could give a fuck who gets them as long as our team out rebounds our opponent

    Liked seeing Sheed talk at length with Paul Allen after the game while Mo Cheeks was standing in line waiting to say hello to Paul. Sheed looked in his element, and poor Mo had to wait for his turn to kiss the ring.

    Egads...

    I don't know what Detroit has against point guards who are actually pass first players, but if they want to keep that caliber of a frontline, they're gonna have to rethink it.
