dullalive 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2008 Lewis is overpaid, I thought we were done about that. I have always liked his attitude but he is not a saviour, he is a contributor. He is not the go-to guy. We shouldn't expect that from him. That turnovers show we were not ready to compete at this level. Pistons, playing without their all star PG only had 3 turnovers. Only 3!!! That means they play the game on another level. Rebounding is about the lack of a big body. That problem is fixable next season. A good SG won't come that cheap. So I think Evans is the best we can get there unless we draft good prospect. Give Detroit credit for their hustle. Those offensive rebounds killed us. Mcdyess is a magic killer. Just when we had the momentum the guy kept making his shots. That was crucial. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We got Rashard still playing out of position and Hedo made many poor descisions with the ball. Hedo had about double the TO in the playoffs as Rashard. Really now? Because Shard cannot hit his shots when it matters and Dwight cannot hit his free throws the guy is a choker and a turnover machine. Give the guy a break for once. when it counted Shard has 6 turnovers doesn't show up for 3 quarters and Hedo did it? In the end the most important game of the year: Hedo: 18 points over 50% shooting 9 rebs and 7 assists. At least someone tried.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm under the impression that we have the MLE left. And I don't think we need to many more pieces, just one solid big. I'm a big believer in the power of Dwight. It's just like when everyone called Shaq a failure because it took him so many years to win a title (Shaq was 28 when he won his first, Dwight's 22 right now).

Yes i'm fraustrated what we're still relatively young and inexperienced in the post season and it shows but defeating the veteran Detroit Pistons is no easy task. You have to almost play perfect basketball Vs. them and thats taking better care of the ball oh and ofcourse making FT's which shows that we were our own worst enemy. All this can and will be improved upon for next season for us to come back better than ever. We need bigger physical bodies out there to help out Howard. Detriot has 4 big athletic and strong bodies to punish Dwight with hacks designed to fraustrate him. like the man said you guys need to have patience cause the core of this team has a huge upside for the future for title contention.

I'm disgusted! I'd have to agree here. We are as soft as bread coming out of the oven. If Dwight doesn't develop a mean streak he will be a big man who hammers inferior opponents, but disappears when the going gets tough. I am so disappointed in him. Oh and one thing the commentators kept making a reference too was Dwight's hands being too small. I mean my 5 yr old can strip the ball from him. Let's be honest here. We won more games in a weak division and lost in 5 to same team that swept us last year. If we had played them in the first round, would we have considered this much of an improvement? I would venture to say no. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RE: Redick and Fran to name a few? Regardless, Dwight is not at that level yet. THe level that Shaq performed once he had Kobe, no he is no there. He still needs to learn to capitalize on FT's, and pass out of horrible offensive situations, and only his 2nd year in the playoffs? If you want to be bitter, fine, but it is growing pains associated with being a champ. No matter who we get with our tiny cap space, we must learn to hold onto the ball, and take advantage of our opportunities. We must learn to be the aggressor with other teams, and we must improve on team defense. Our role players must accept their roles and the team must not give the opposing team hope with bad play. If we want a chance we must take it, and not wait for it to come to us. So, i don't get the anger. We are the captain of our own ship this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know what? We neede some bigger bodies for the playoffs too but did Otis go out and get us some? He could have had Ratliff, heck Denton even mentioned Otis liked him. What about P.J. Brown? All the contending teams got extra players to help the playoff push while Otis did nothing. My faith in him wavers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
