Championship.

Guaren-sheed, Maybe Sheed (if he is here at the start of the season) can take him under his wing to show him the right way, since no other team had a player that likes to teach.

I think the only Pistons I'll be watching this year will be the 2K9 version. At least there I can rectify this.

Juan Dixon went back to the Wizards, not much of a loss here, I think he only played 17 regular season games 4 us.

Re: ***Official Detroit Pistons 2007-08 Thread***

Not much of a loss at all. Juan Dixon is not needed here any longer. It's time for the Pistons to ride the young guys in the backcourt and give Arron Afflalo his minutes.

Heh. This is going to be comical. "Players' coaches" never work out.

Man it really doesn't feel good. It just seems like these guys have taken over the team. I was really hoping for a shake up. I mean, I was pretty shook with the Walter Sharpe thing, but I was hoping bigger moves could have been made. This team is still good for around 55 wins, and at least a second round bid, but nothing further than that. I can't see Curry taking them over the hump this year, and I am actually waiting for a real implosion. Oh yeah, we got Kwame Brown too. Yay. We'll see how it goes though.

What's up guys. I haven't paid much attention to pre season. At one point they were 4-0, but not even sure as I type this. Have to start hitting up the Detroit newspapers again. Not really too excited to be honest, hopefully that changes as they move forward.

Re: ***Official Detroit Pistons 2007-08 Thread***

It's hard to say what's going on with the Pistons at this point because only two of their eight preseason games were televised this year (vs. Spurs in Grand Rapids & vs. Hawks at The Palace). And I don't know if it was coincidence or not, but these had turned out to be the only losses.

As for the upcoming Pistons season, I'm taking the wait and see approach. I like how hard the team is playing on defense on every possession, but I'm also seeing disturbing stretches offensively where the team goes on extremely looooooong scoring droughts whenever a few of the starters are resting, which are reminiscient of the Rick Carlisle days. Hopefully this is a short term issue that doesn't linger throughout the regular season.
