Detroit Pistons: FORM A ****ING WALL - Page 3 - Single-Team Season Threads -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Hamilton was injured and CharlieV isn't comfortable yet. So no need to panic yet. I'm not ruling out 50 games. The only thing I know for sure is they'll win at least 41.

You're delusional. This team has to be significantly better than last year's (because the rest of the East got better) to get even close to 41. Ben Gordon is the whole offense. Ben Wallace is the whole defense. Stuckey needs to blow up and Kwame and Villaneuva need to learn how to play defense if this team has any chance at being any good.

as someone who's also been the victim of avatar hijinks certain mods can be pretty vigilant in changing it back, don't know how much greear has tried though

How is Jonas Jerebko doing so far? Where would you rank him among the rookies of the league?

He's the first swede ever in NBA, so over here he's basically being hailed in the media as the second coming of Wilt Chamberlain. I'd like to get a more unbiased opinion if possible.

49-33 is definitely happening.

Only have to go 44-22 the rest of the way!

The injuries this year have been brutal though.

I would say too early to tell right now, but Jerebko had a breakout game last night. He had 22pts on 8/11 shooting including 4/4 from 3pt land.

To be in that position as much as possible and hope to sooner or later luckbox into getting that missing link when some team has to dump said player for financial reasons.

lol

Anyways.. this team is pretty bad, with or without injuries. Jerebko has played way better than anyone could have expected. Villanueva has played well. Ben Jordan has been very good when healthy. Ben Wallace has been the best player on the team. They just don't have the talent to win games. And I think the Pistons are better without Tay and Rip at this point.

washington won you mean?

we need washington/sacramento/golden state to win as much as possible these last few games. we need to lose out to finish with the 3rd worst record i think, which is realistic at this point.

Your projection could have happened without the injuries imo.
