Although the Pistons played well at times last night they still have the same problems over and over. They don’t play consistent defense. And as for their offense that’s a whole different story. There was a point in the 1st quarter I think where Curry took a timeout and the play they ran coming out of it was a Stuckey 1 on 1 from the top of the key. WTF is that all about? You need to call a timeout to run that play? Rarely do you see enough ball movement out of this offense. That’s why they’re so easy to defend. If you watch good teams on offense the ball is constantly moving until someone has an open shot or a good match up. The Pistons just let the shot clock run out and then whoever has the ball just goes 1 on 1 and puts up a crappy shot. I blame that all on coaching. Curry always talks about not enough ball movement after games, but he must have no idea how to get these guys to do it.

Going back to what Amber was saying. I can agree with rooting for the Cavs (or Orlando) to beat the Celtics. I’ll always be a Pistons fan, but when they can’t get it done, I still want Boston to go down at the hand of someone else. For whatever reason when the Pistons lose to certain teams I love to watch those teams then get beat by other teams. It’s the same reason I got great pleasure out of watching the Cavs get swept by the Spurs two years ago in the finals.

Here’s to hopping the Celtics almost get to where they want to be and then get their dreams of a repeat crushed by whoever they end up playing.
