I didn't see the game tonight but I taped it while playing poker and I saw the score and couldn't believe to see they lost to the Hawks!!! I am not even going to bother watching the game but I am totally dissapointed w/ the Pistons play since Billups' injury. Rip and Tay can't do it all, and I am so frustrated w/ Saunders' starting lineups and rotations. Why doesn't he just start Sheed at the 5 and JMax at the 4?If the Pistons eventually end up getting Webber(who wants the minutes to contribute) McDyess or Davis most likely would have to be traded for either a 2 or combo guard. I was reading some of the posts and some say it could be Peterson. At this point getting Webber and Peterson may be the best option to make a run at this. The roation could have many possibilities but this might be the best bet:C. WebberPF. WallaceSF. PrinceSG. HamiltonPG. BillupsBenchMaxiellPetersonMohammedDelfinoHunterWebber could start at the 5 and Maxiell could start at the 4 w/ Sheed being part of the bench.I am going on a trip for 3 weeks on Thursday but hopefully I can ask one of my cousins to tape the games especially if the Pistons make any moves. One last thing Saunders doesn't look like he could be the pistons' coach long term. I think Laimbeer would be the perfect fit even tho he has no NBA head coaching experience, but I do believe he could bring out the best just like LB did when we won the title in 04. HoLLa baCk
Our problem is that we always come out slow in the first quarter. PRobably around 90% of games after the first quarter we are losing. We just can't come back from deficits every single game. I'm beginning to think that Flip Saudners really is only a 'season' coach and isn't a playoff coach.
