The Pistons haven't played "piston" defense since the year after their
championship.
They aren't shutting teams down, sure as hell didn't put the clamps on
Lebron year before last.
You don't even have a shot blocker, Ben's been gone for what three
seasons? Sheed's not even playing his natural position if he decides to
show up for a game mentally. Kwami plays good position D but isn't a
rejector. Forget about the defensive mind thing....this today is a high
potenial scoring machine with a blend of both western and eastern
features. It can play D in spurts but the true strength is the offense,
These guys should be averaging 110 points a night. Their style has to
change. They should be the first west coast styled team to renovate the
East. Still there is but one competitive team here in the east which is
Boston. WE have more depth than them,,,we could literally run them to
death! Forget about the defense it's not happenin' like that. This is
an offensive attacking team. Oddly the offensive guru is gone,,Flip
Saunders, this team is geared perfect for him. Curry a first year coach
who stresses defense is on the short end and I can't see success
happening for him unless he reads this and it sinks in.
