Obviously that might be something you would consider doing, but as a true fan, I'm not going to desert the ship. Good luck with the WALLOWING in negativity this season. At least I have the sense to know that the Pistons are rebuilding, but I can still ENJOY watching the team as I watch the POSITIVE FUTURE of the Pistons develop. Thanks so much, LASER.

It would not be a site worth visiting if that's all you became. I guess I just prefer looking for positives in a team as opposed to hearing about the negatives (which I KNOW are many). Is that such a bad thing? I just get upset that people assume (not you) that because I don't criticise the Pistons more often, that I'm just a homer. I like to think that I can be a realist, while still enjoying supporting the Pistons.   Keep up the good work!     Thanks for taking the time to reply.

But it is beyond me how anyone thinks not having Hamilton on the roster is some sort of travesty.</p> Oh, I would never defend Gordon.

Never mind.   But seriously, folks, obviously nothing this team does has a thing to do with long-term success. Anyone who says otherwise is objectively wrong (Copyright Laser). They want to win as many games as possible every season, which means they will win roughly 25-33% of their games until Joe Dumars is fired or assassinated.

Plus, Rip is a plus defender who's guaranteed to have a better AST:TO ratio than Gordon. It's probably a safe bet that our guards don't average combined 40% shooting.

I've particularly never bought the "he just needs a good PG" argument. He started taking worse shots, he stopped moving without the ball as much, he got old, the talent around him got worse and his attitude sucked. Having poor screen setters certainly didn't help his production at all, but there were many factors in his decline.</p> <p>Also, he's shooting 40 percent through two games in Chicago. Small sample size I know, but I wholeheartedly believe age has been by far the biggest factor in the decline in his production, as it is with all guards post-30.</p> Oh, Hamilton still wasn’t good and the excuses made for him are ridic.

Probably best to avoid them next season, too. And possibly the one after that. And ESPECIALLY don't read any content about them for the next few years. Anything positive you'll read about them will be bullshit from flag-wavers and Joe Dumars apologists, or from the organization itself.
