A couple double-digit victories over Boston? The Orlando game you're talking about had to be back in November, because the last time they played Orlando they won by 15. They've beaten Miami, Atlanta, Boston (twice), and Milwaukee (twice), all of would be playoff teams if the season ended today. I'm not saying the Pistons are world beaters or anything, I'm saying they look like they could be a playoff team, and with better coaching they would've beaten the Bulls the other night.

Two bad calls on one play.  Also the difference in the game were free throws where the Bulls made 10 more than the Pistons.   The Pistons lost their confidence in the 4th quarter.  Maybe being tired had something to do with that.  The Pistons only made 3 shots out of the paint in the 4th, that tells me that the players on the court lost confidence.   The Pistons are dead last in the league as far as FG% for shots taken from 10 to 15 feet, 34%.  As a comparable OKC and SAS are 1st in the league at the same distance, 47%.  That is a big difference.  Another complaint I have is that the Pistons should not consider themselves to be an above average team when they rank 27th in the league in FT%. I believe that the Pistons have the players that can make the shots all the time in practice, but lack the confidence to do it in the games.  Monroe's got to get confident soon and so does Stuckey.  Stuckey has got to realize that soon the speed advantage he has will be gone in a couple of years and if he wants to excel he has got to become a consistent shooter.   I don’t think it was a moving screen, Noah just held Stuckey and put him on the floor.  Should have been a foul on Noah and Frank was livid about the non-call.  I also think Noah was dragging his feet when he saved the ball.  And by the way, why was that out of bounds save not reviewed?  I am under the impression that it is reviewable in the last 2 minutes.

If you're going to cherry pick 1 game vs. a bad opponent that the Pistons lost 2 while ignoring the good opponents the Pistons beat, I have nothing to say to you.

Hell, even the beloved Prince, Monroe, or Knight wouldn't do anything in that time.. Why does Daye always get an F when he only plays like 6 minutes?
