Pels playing a lineup with Jrue, Gordon, and Austin on the floor at the same time. Interesting.

Damn right I bash it every chance I get, because it was a terrible offseason. Giving Smith all the money yall gave him was pointless with Monroe and Drummond on board, and signing Jennings was just a terrible move all around that only made the Smith signing worse because those two will be a terrible match. By the time Drummond would be up for his second contract, this would have been a better team than it will be now. Yall sold a very bright future for first round playoff exits.

I'm sorry I care more about winning and competing than putting butts in the seats and making your owner money. As a fan, that is exactly where I should be coming from. And if I was you, I would take a few extra losses if it meant more wins in the future. Yall will be worse off in the future, and with your two best players being 23 or younger that is what counts.

And btw, I loved the KCP pick. You know how much I liked him.

we didnt have a bright future, we still have the two best players we had before and kcp. before we had potentially high lottery picks.

and this off-season probably doubled our win total.

the fuck does that even mean

It means fuck the knicks
why do a jersey retirement in the preseason?

Im never going to get used to pierce as a net

You had the beginnings of a bright future. At least brighter than what yall have now.

And doubled your win total from what? Last season? That would put you at 58-24.

I wish cleveland drafted drummond :/

why the fuck not?
nationally televised game, no distraction for the reg season.

Nola is funny lol.
All Pistons fans want is playoffs. None of us think this is a championship caliber team. We are sick of losing. And I'm fairly sure everyone still wants Dumars gone.

Getting really irritating you continuing to bash our offseason though. We get it, you don't like what we did. For the 100th time. But like I've said for the 100th time as well, just let the fucking season play out.

Viewing the Pelicans the way he is viewing Detroit

"
Tyreke Evans is a scoring point guard who can't pass well, and when he plays SG and SF he's a lot less efficient
Jrue Holiday led the league in turnovers produced last year
Eric Gordon can't even stay healthy enough to make a difference "



You can't blame Detroit for getting talented players in effort to get better and more liked by the fans. Sometimes players excel in different places (like OJ Mayo in Dallas), and maybe that's Jennings in MIL & Smoove in ATL. Didn't have the right system maybe, and now will reach their potentials in Detroit

If y'all keep talking about it, so will I. If you don't want to hear my thoughts, stop talking about your team lol

Tyreke is a wing player that hasn't played much PG since his rookie season. His offensive efficiency has been better on the wing than at PG. Not sure where you got that one from. Ive discussed the other two at length. Though I would say before last season when Jrue's usage rate skyrocketed he was good about holding onto the ball, we will see if that comes back down when his usage rate comes back down.

And Jennings will never find the right system, he is what isnknown as a system breaker. I made a post about him yesterday that kind of explained that. He will go outside the framework of the set to get his own look. And I'm just going to walk away laughing at the thought of you saying Mayo excelled in Dallas, lol.

Jimmer hit 5 3s last night lol, good for him. 

 

[RipCity32]

Lmao. Literally no one was talking about our offseason moves. You are the one who continues to bring it up.

 

[bosoxlover12]

How can Jennings be a system breaker if he has only been in one system?

 

[RipCity32]

He scouted him in Italy.

 

[elcheato]

With the Bynum update, I'm so excited for the season.
 
And will be crushed when everyone gets hurt
 
My boy Sergey has Vodka in his veins. He looks hella good so far.

The between the legs pass he made was sweet. If the Russians can do one thing it's fancy passing.
