Personally, I voted for the Carlisle/LB hire/fire. I just don't think that Chauncy and Rip flourish and Sheed stays under control under Carlisle. I also don't think that Ben starts to develop a little Offensive game without LB (Yes...it is bad....but he is trying).

LB is the right coach at the right time with the right players.

Larry got everyone on the same page, you're right...though I do still curl up into the fetal position whenever Ben goes to shoot a jumpshot

Larry creates a good bond between the entire team. And he does so well working with fundamentals (rebounding, defense, screens, etc.).

I dont mind Ben taking a jumper if we still win the game. Ben knocked down a couple of 18 footers in game 7 against the Nets.

Re: Joe Dumars: Basketball Mind

ludacris, Ben was on fire that night, he just amazed me. Ben just has that funky form for his jump shot, doesn't look quite right. He's getting better though, and they're winning, so can't complain.

Re: Joe Dumars: Basketball Mind

I'm going out the box...and pick none of those options.

Dumar's best move might have to be drafting Darko Milicic instead of Carmelo Anthony. Why? Because he had so much confidence in Tayshaun Prince to be a terrific player for the Pistons.

Look at what Prince has done. He brings a cool feeling to the floor, a confidence that is much needed on a team...he might not be a scorer but he can shoot, play within a set offense, unselfish, tall and long which makes him a menacing player to deal with on both offense and defense...a hard worker and he is an outstanding defensive player. He frustrates Kobe to no end. He is always in his face and defends him better than anybody I've seen. He's come up clutch in the playoffs with his surprising offensive spurts, offensive rebounds...and let's not forget his blocked shot on Reggie Miller.

I think he needs to work on those freethrows before he works on his jumpers though. If the Pistons shot over 80% from the line in the Finals, we'd be talking about the Lakers' offseason right now.
