Your precious win streaks with the Lions have to do with the players on the roster and coaching in a paticular game. By your logic, the Mavericks should win the championship again this year. And yes, I like L.Frank too, but this roster is bogus and anyone with an open mind who isn't going to be a "blind loyalist" sees that. This team isn't getting better for the long term playing a bunch of mediocre vets. If you need a certain coach to make you play hard when your making millions upon millions..then you are pathetic.. Yes, Monroe and Knight are nice..but thats not gonna do it... There is a Grantland article from espn that was posted on here a week ago. It speaks for many of us. You should take a look at it with an open mind and understand where some of us are coming from. having 6-7 months  off between seasons does not carry momentum..That once again makes no sense.

Oh yeah and the lions used momentum of the last four wins of 2010 season to  have a 5-0 record the following season. And you say it doesn't make sense. Fans want to see a team play hard regardless of the roster. Before New York got rid of Mike D'Antoni  the fans were not to happy about that Star Studded(LOL0 roster. It took a coach that could relate to the players and get them to play hard to turn things around. L Frank is doing that for the Pistons.

Imagine lottery teams going all out to get wins the last 20 game of the season. The intensity of that plus playoff races and seeding would make the end of the season great. I love this idea.

They looked like they had fun and a close nit group. The lineups were good and I to agree that perhaps wallace and prince should not have played as long as they did, like, really tho the purpose was????? Looking forward to how they follow up against a playoff team in Atlanta now, and the lineups to accompany them Nice to see them putting all phases together to give the fans a glimpse of what may be to come with offense and defense even if its was against a sub-par team.

I tried to find a rule, but I couldn't.

That's my opinion, anyway. If they’re gonna win, they may as well blow the opponent out of the gym. That’s my opinion, anyway.
