Affalo should be OUR starting 2 guard .

JD and the slew of coaches over the last 5 years have squandered the development of most of our younger player and JD has let go better younger players than he has kept. This trend of clinging to a more veteran team to have a few more wins vs developing a new core and identity has left the pistons in limbo for years and the same pateren is being repeated again. No team that starts Max (undersized to start at the 4) Prince (lack of energy and attack at the 3) and Stuckey (much more suited as the first guard off the bench) is ever going to be a true competitor. Pourly balanced teams don’t fix themselves until YOU FIX them. Get Monroe to the 4 where he belongs. Use both young centers. Let the younger players play and build a team like the Thunder did and stop wasting year after year. And a PS: Why would a starting team that was 500 at best last year be much better this one ?

Look on the bright side everybody, Maxiel has been playing great!

I think his main thing in guarding Howard is that Max is thick and strong, and really good at establishing a base and not letting Howard get into position to score in the paint.

He should also some more minutes to show that he can play better, especially when he’s playing well and has no foul problems like last game. And yeah, definitely with Monroe.

The reason Maxiell does well against Dwight is because they play the exact same way only difference is Dwight is taller and more athletic…u stop Dwight by not giving easy basket to him early…because late he won’t be the go to guy

Ever wonder if there is a connection between Stuckey’s migraines and that time he half collapsed on the court. I know a migraine is to do with the brain and him being exhausted and collapsing is more respiratory but if he was suffering migraines that game it could of contributed to it. Also i wonder what that did (Stuckey collapsing) to his trade value. Surely a GM trading for him would remember something like that. Hopefully he breaks out of his funk soon because if struggles then it seems to have a domino effect on the rest of the team.

max does great against super man. imo he has owned him in the past. he shouldnt have a prob against him. I dont even want to see stuckey in the arena. needs to stay away from light if he wants his migraines to stop. My line up for tonight. Bynum, Knight, Monroe, Prince, Maxiell. if Bynum is bad. give knight point. and Singler comes in for Bynum. English for Knight. JJ for prince. Drummond for maxiell. and Slava? for Monroe. my thoughts on it.

I see Orlando might be forced to play Afflalo at SF. I wonder if we could unload Daye to them.

we play him because he scores in a couple of small streaks like he always does, but is a net negative on defense the entire game

thats why they lose, and smarter teams win. a smart team plays the defensive guy the most and the streaky offensive energy guy 7 minutes at a time, 3 times a game
