As you know things are slow in Pistons land, so what do I do?  I search through old videos I have collected to try to get trough the day.

My find today, an old video of the top 10 Pistons buzzer beaters.

Get the Flash Player to see this player.

Now if you noticed the tile of the post is Top 11, that’s because this video was put together before this. You tell me where you think it should be placed on list.

So it may not have finished the way we would have wanted. It’s hard to watch your team go out like wounded soldiers with no fight left. It’s even harder to watch your enemy celebrate their victory in “Your House,” but you know what? I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

All good things must come to an end and this Pistons era as we know it just has. We saw the signs, we knew it was coming, it’s difficult, but we will be just fine.  Just ask any fans from “Bad Boys” era.

We watched this bunch grow in front of our eyes and accomplish things we most never thought they could. A team with a traveling point guard that never found a home until he landed in Detroit, a ‘Froed defensive menace that couldn’t knock down a free throw to save his life, a masked man who didn’t fulfill his potential until he landed in the Motor City, a skinny undersized small forward who wasn’t supposed to be an “NBA” because of his body and a “technical” big man that wore out his welcome out West.

Add a coach with a past, a “Memo”, someone Big and Nasty, Elden down low, a Hunter, Mike James (the non lyrical one), and the Human Victory Cigar.

With that….we got this.

Who would have thought?

Pistons Fans!

So maybe they should have won more than just one ring, does that make it any less special?

And so what if those who were left of that special bunch didn’t go out on their best foot, they still made this city proud.

We look forward to new beginnings.

And we feel for those who gave more than their heart.

Thank you Boys, you have done this city and all its fans proud, whether you get the recognition you deserve as an Easter Conference Powerhouse or not, we appreciate you.

Good Times……

I know most of you are scratching your heads at the signing of Kwame Brown. Pistons fans have been waiting for a blockbuster deal that just hasn’t happened….yet that is. This waiting game, draft day and signing of the other Kwame got me playing the “what if” game.

Now I go the positive route in the “what if” game and look back at our 2004 championship. So what if Dumars wouldn’t have drafted Darko? Would we have picked up Sheed and a Championship? Nobody really knows, but i makes you look on the brighter side of things for a moment.

Little did I know that after playing my own game of “what if”, I had footage of a piece Eli Zaret did for the Pistons on all the “what ifs” from the past that ran earlier this year. There are a ton of blasts from the past that you may have forgotten about. It all put things into perspective for me in realizing how many things go wrong and go right in building a team like The Pistons have been over the years.

Remembering the past always helps when dealing with the future. Doesn’t it?

This was mentioned last season, but Danafesto reminded me of it in the comment section of the site. What could be more fitting than…..
