Seriously? Slava had one good game and now he’s pushing Drummond for minutes? No one is giving us any picks for Slava, nevermind a lottery pick. I suffered through the entire game last night and the only reason Slava played better than normal was because the Pacer’s stopped trying when they were up 25 points.

If anything, I hope his progression means that Maxiel is pushed out of the rotation when drummond returns.

I can’t tell whether or not this is sarcastic.

If Kravtsov gets good enough to push Dre for minutes, then Dumars really struck gold. At that point they need to trade him (Slava) for a lottery pick.

Getting Kraztov was certainly a steal for Joe Dumars. This kid a a solid diamond in the rough and with the right amount of minutes can potentially a a solid sleeper pick. Andre Drummound will certainly have to look over his shoulder, because this Kravtsov size is rising up like a bullet

And most of the time, the Pistons won’t lose to the Pacers by 32. Everyone has better and worse games. But this game was not shockingly bad. Most lottery teams have at least half a dozen losses this bad each season.

I was thinking the same thing.

I agree. What exactly would firing Frank accomplish this season? We’re not going to make the playoffs, he’s a huge upgrade from our last two coaches, and we still don’t know what we will have after the Summer of Joe to entice a guy like SVG to want to come to Detroit. Hell, maybe we land a more marquee free agent because we give him say in who the next coach is.

Talentless teams sometimes get blown out by good teams. The Pistons are a talentless team without Drummond (get over it) and the Pacers are a good team. Not saying the Pistons are devoid of talent, but save for a handful of guys (two of whom are injured), they are rather depleted.

Everyone is missing the point, what do you all expect when the obvious reason for this pummeling is because BK was not playing. This is an obvious testament that BK is a very imprtant cog, more than anyone here gives him credit for!

“No one is trying to confuse Frank with a great coach but a lot of people are confusing this squad with talent.”

This.
