The only thing this tells me is that either the players are underachieving or the coach isn’t doing his job.

Frank was really saying ”I am better that the teams record . please don’t fire my a@@”
He might be good at teaching in practice but he has ZERO game cred and low leadership skills.” in my eyes.

As for those that keep harping on Caldoron’s lack of defensive skills OK true but few Pass first point guards do have those skills. Young Players, especially those that don’t have great one on on skills NEAD a pass first point guard he does so much for Monroe and would as well for Dru at getting them and the rest of the marginal cast going. Teams with combo guards at the point do OK IF they have good players at ALL the positions (clearly not Detroit’s roster)

Message to Tom Gores: If you really bought the Team and Palace because the Palace is a good music venue and you think the current GM and Coach are doing a good enough job, PLEASE sell it to someone who cares … Your acting like an absentee owner that not on top of things at all.

I’ve said it before but a coach saying “we are better than our record” is a coach trying to justify keeping his job!! I must admit I was OK with hiring LF but now it is becoming quite obvious he is in over his head!!

“One thing is as good as our record .. our head coach Lawrence Frank. Frank is wonderful to interview and to listen to .. and then real practices and real games happen .. and then the players and fans realize just how good Frank is as a coach.”
exactly!!!!
frank sounds like he should be a good head coach.
he obviously works hard, has lots of knowledge and really, truly has passion for the game.
he just doesn’t cut it as the guy in the head coach’s seat.
he reminds me of norv turner.
norv turner was/is a great offensive coordinator. he knows the game. but he sucks as a head coach.
frank, imho, is an nba version of norv turner.
great assistant coach, but he lacks that certain something that good head coaches have.

Good article .. Calderon is a defensive liabiilty .. a great passer … but not so great on D .. Get used to losing with Calderon … That is why developing Knight as PG was and is an important matter that Frank hasnt been exactly successful at .. One thing is as good as our record .. our head coach Lawrence Frank. Frank is wonderful to interview and to listen to .. and then real practices and real games happen .. and then the players and fans realize just how good Frank is as a coach ..but the owner and GM .. they havent realized it yet .. unless this personal matter of missing the Knicks game involves them all in some kind of woodshed moment with Frank ..

Pistons pre-Calderon, without Drummond

Pistons with Calderon, with Drummond

Being better than our record does not bring us anywhere.
