    Pistons scoring woes
    This definitely has correlation to the losing slide the Pistons are on. I'd like to see Tayshaun step up and help out more. He hasn't been the offensive player he proved he was capable of being in last year's playoffs. Any thoughts?

    No kidding, Tayshaun is one of my fav shooters, also Rip not shooting/shooting well? What's going on? He's possibly one of the best perimeter shooter in the league. Your team is playing as a "team" well enough though, be glad you're not in the same state or boat as the Magic. Pistons, you're one of the best in the East, do better!

    I'm not worrying about it too much. Every team has hiccups. I have mixed feelings on Prince. Sometimes I love how he plays but he often looks stagnant on offense. He almost never shoots except having some nice alley oops. Prince is a good shooter and he can put up a few more shots per game.

    As for the others, it is just a little hump. Guards go through it all the time. I'm sure that all three will play better during the Boston game.

    The way Prince has played is what worries me. He might just naturally pick it up in the playoffs, which is a good thing. I think the only reason he is still starting is his defense, which has been incredible this season.

    As for the Boston game, their coach just resigned and they weren't that good to begin with. I doubt it'll be a problem for any of the guys to shoot better against them.

    they have hit a bit of a slump, but they'll pull through.

    i really think consistency is what seperates the .500 teams from the elite in the league. everyteam has some talent. it's just the teams that can keep the same level on intensity every night, that become the league best.

    during their winning streak, the Pistons definitely showed they can sustain some consistency. keeping scoring consistency will definitely be a challenge for them.

    Tay only scored 8 points yesterday, but he was all over the floor, blockin shots, saving balls, and playing some great defense. His defensive stand on Bonzi Wells could have been the game saver last night. Have you guys noticed, if either Rip of Chauncey play bad, then the other will also. But if one plays great, so does the other. I think the get into there groove together or somethin, but it's a streak I keep noticing.
