Bye Bye Pistons

Ummm…the Pistons suck.

But, wait Andy, in your last post you wrote about why the Pistons weren’t in trouble and that Detroit would win the series.

Well a lot can change in one game. Also I was wrong; the Cavs have out-played and more importantly out-hustled Detroit in games four and five. (The refs did suck in game three, but that doesn’t matter now.)

The Pistons are the worst best team ever in the NBA and now they have become the biggest flop in NBA history.

What happened? Why are the Pistons so bad now? Here are the top six reasons.

1. Chauncey Billups is playing like old Chauncey; he’s taking bad shots and out of position defensively.
2. Rip Hamilton disappears during games and cannot guard LeBron.
3. Tayshaun is the only consistent player for the Pistons. He’s done nothing wrong.
4. Rosco (Rasheed) talks big and doesn’t back it up. He’s looked like a fat, slow and lazy ball player the last two games.
5. Ben Wallace has let Drew Gooden, Anderson Varejao and Zydrunas Illauskgus beat him. He’s defense is awful and if that’s the case he is useless because his offense is even worse.
6. Flip Saunders. There is a reason he never made it out of the second round with Minnesota. He cannot manage his bench or a game.

The Pistons wanted the best record in the NBA so they could have game seven at the Palace. The irony is they won’t get to use their home court for a game seven.
Detroit will lose on Friday at Quicken Loans Arena and have lost four straight to a team they should have swept.

The Pistons will have a long, long, long off-season to address their recent demise. Hopefully they have some good answers and can get back on the right track next year.
