Pistons Fans Chant for Rip

[DJT]

It would be real weird seeing Rip in another jersey if that ever happens.

I just hope they can sell the team nice and cleanly.

 

[Pugz]

it will be better for both us and rip for him to be in a different jersey.


all i know is, this is hopefully a good sign.

but it will be better if we still go on to lose this game. lol. i dont like W's.

 

[DJT]

Yeah, I hope the new management fires Dumars.

 

[Pugz]

not really fire him, but put him in check.


part of the reason we cant make any trades though is because the owner is a penny pinching whore.

 

[sheed]

Lmao, I don't like W's either. Either we make the playoffs or we miss them by a lot. None of this barely miss the playoffs and end up with a shit lottery pick crap.

 

[Pugz]

exactly. like i love that we have greg monroe. i wanted him all season. but we could have had the second worst record but we went on to win our last 7 games(or whatever ?) and ended up with a decent pick. id rather us be a mid seed or high lottery at this point.

one round and done, sucks. mid lottery, sucks. top 5 pick or 4 seed or higher. lol. this team cant surprise shit in the playoffs. so we need to get a good pick.

 

[sheed]

You nailed all of that on the head. We need a top 5 pick this draft, because it's like last years and its not really deep and there isn't a lot of talent past the first 5 picks.

 

[Pugz]

i just hope we get something going cause im losing interest in this team.


rip is killing it too, btw. but we're winning. lol

 

[sheed]

I'm glad he is killing it. Keep playing him and keep garnering interest from other teams. I am sure at the deadline one of the middle contending teams will try to nab him to give them more depth for the playoffs. Maybe we will start winning now with him playing and get into a playoff spot.

 

[Pugz]

but the playoff spot we'd get would blow cause we wouldnt win more than 1 game, if that.

it does feel nice when we win though, dont get me wrong. we just need as many young players as we can get to rebuild. and winning doesnt help that.


our team doesnt draw interest from fa's cause we're a small market. our state sucks and isnt that fun for fa's. we need to have a good team with young an dup and coming players. we need a team that looks like it can win now and in the future.

this team doesnt give players that, yet. we need good drafting, which means lottery picks. and we need to deal some players.

 

[sheed]

You never know. When all of our guys are on their game we usually kill it. Especially if we make the playoffs. I am more than 100% sure the team will want to prove everyone wrong who said we would be the worst team this year. T-Mac is back, Gordon can light shit up, as can Charlie, we've seen great flashes from Monroe, Rip can still ball, Prince has been one of the most consistent players this year, Daye has improved greatly, Jerebko will be back for the playoffs if we make them. They could surprise us all.

 

[Pugz]

yea, but that wont win a series against the top tier teams like; boston, miami, orlando, chicago, or even new york. well new york would be our best shot. but i just dont see us getting too far in the playoffs. thus, we need to shoot for the lottery.

 

[sheed]

Meh. Like Tayshaun said, I guess this is a wasted season unless we go on a huge run and start winning against good teams. The only reason it wouldn't be a waste is because Monroe and Daye are getting major minutes.

 

[Pugz]

unless we see some trades, next season is gonna be tough for minutes. we'll be clogged up at the guard and clogged up at the 4/5. id rather the young guys we have play but who knows.

 

[Elite]

T-Mac isn't back...

 

[Pugz]

hes playing like a new player at the point..

 

[sheed]

T-Mac isn't back...

Then you obviously haven't seen him play this season, at all...

 

[RipCity32]

To be honest, I want to make the playoffs. I'm sick of losing.
Also, I don't think there is a chance of us to suck that bad to get a top 5. And anything outside the top 5 will be pointless. So I say fuck it and try to pull a GSW in the playoffs.

 

[sheed]

It just depends on if Keuster is going to get his head out of his ass anytime soon and start making the right decisions.

Doubt it lol.
