"Buffoonery. Do you all know what that means?"

Tayshuan Prince speaking to the media in the locker room about Richard Hamilton's DNP after the game against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Umm... can you really get away with calling your coach a buffoon to the press? I mean, regardless of whether the claim is true, you can't do that can you?

Ah, I see

So I guess Tay intentionally went 3-13 (0-2 from 3) because, ya know, it’s really hard to insult your coach publicly after a game you won.

This signature is false.

Tayshaun has as many 50 point games as Kuester and madpoopz combined.

Well, Rip might be taking it amicably, but Tay is being a dick. What a toxic environment.

Perhaps he's being a dick

But this team has completely given up. Unacceptable. The lack of ownership investment, complacency, out-of-wack rotations, and of course job security concerns for all players, coaches, and Joe D… A mess. Solution? Promote Brian Hill to HC and Bring Jonas Jerebko back tomorrow (he did finally take his walking cast off)!

I respectfully disagree

Jonas has actually become so unapproachably dominant, that Dumars decided it was in the best interest of the team and the league for Jonas to not play this season. This will allow the Pistons to get that final lottery pick that we need to become a title contenda, while at the same time keeping Jonas a secret until next season, where he will unleash his basketball mastery upon those lesser beings around the league. Swedish Style.

I was starting to back down on my "I hate Tay" campaign...

WOW

i was a Tay fan but with the stuff he been pulling these few months i think its time for him to go. Really dude its your last year shut up and play hard as you can to boost yourself in the market.. right now it seems like you dont respect your coach and is hard to coach.. who wants another latrell sprewell?

Tayshaun Prince looks like a Buffoon

If there was one negative thing about the 04 team winning a championship, its that guys like Rip and Tayshaun seem to think their stars. These are two role-players that happen to be two of the best players are on the team which isn’t a good thing. It really shows how pathetic this roster is, and how desperately we need a star.

True.

I’m a fan of both Rip and Tay. I give them the benefit of the doubt in the Kuester situation. I just don’t want either one of them on this team anymore. Kuester, either.

With all the Prince & Rip controversy going on...

I’m surprised you haven’t heard a whole lot from Ben Wallace. I’m sure Rip and Tay have both expressed their opinions and views to him (more than anyone else on the team or organization) and yet, it seems like he’s not even there. People talk about starting fresh and trading away Rip and Tay would accomplish this while Ben Wallace sits in the background, now I’m not saying Ben needs to go too but it seems like there is a total disconnect between him and Rip/Tay.

I'm old school

I’ve had my moments with Rip and Tay but I’m with them 100% from here on in.

Joe Dumars drove the team in a ditch, set the car on fire, and then bought 3 new SGs…er…tires to put on the charred hull. If the inmates are complaining…well…they’ve earned the right. There’s being professional and there’s being brain dead.

It’s a tired show in Detroit.

I'm going to join joejoejoe

In what’s apparently the minority opinion. Yeah, it’s not good for players to be ragging on the coach — although I do kind of like the word “buffoonery.” But it’s not good. Still, it’s a job in which his bosses have done a crappy job running things and haven’t given him anything like a chance to succeed.

Also, for the record, Tay has been one of the most productive Pistons this year, arguably the most productive overall. He’s #2 on the team in scoring; is shooting .493 from the field, which is best on the team for anyone whose taken a reasonable amount of shots (second overall to Wilcox’s .500, but Tay’s taken over 400 more shots than Chris); is #2 on the team in 3-pt shooting percentage (behind Daye); 4th in rebounding (behind Big Ben, Monroe, and CV); and almost tied with T-Mac for #2 in assists.

All of this, I add, while often being asked (especially earlier in the year) to play PF, a position he’s been asked to play for the last couple of years even though he’s clearly undersized at that spot.

Plus, Rip is his buddy, he was frustrated after yet another loss. . . . I’m not condoning, but I understand.

If I'm Kuester

Tayshaun just earned himself a DNP-CD. Unbelievably unacceptable. Further, he needs to treat each player consistently. If he’s going to bench Stuckey for a look, he better bench Tayshaun for this.

Also, Tay is completely out of touch. Rip has sucked for the past year and a half, and the team is better when he’s not playing.

by brgulker on Jan 14, 2011 8:57 AM EST reply actions  

Agreed

My first thought was the Tay needs his own DNP-CD. You simply can’t get away with this. We’ve hashed and rehashed the reasons behind what’s going on right now, but the bottom line is the players are paid to play and the coach is paid to coach.

You can’t have players insulting the coach in the media about his decisions on how to split up the minutes. That is Allen Iverson type stuff. We wouldn’t stand for it from him, and I don’t give Tayshaun any passes on it either.

by Big Z in Orlando on Jan 14, 2011 9:05 AM EST up reply actions  

Despite my defense of Tay above

I think a DNP-CD would be appropriate. Even if he’s right — which I think he is — you can’t say that stuff publically.

by JumpingBlob on Jan 14, 2011 3:58 PM EST up reply actions  

Well lets split some hairs here...since we certainly can't talk wins produced (we'd have to well ya know win, to discuss that favored metric)

He didn’t say that Kuester is a Buffoon. He said that the act of not playing Rip Hamilton is “buffoonery”. For us to interpret this as calling Kuester a Buffoon is the same as your good friend interpreting you telling them they’re acting like an asshole as you telling them they are in fact an asshole. They are not at all the same thing unless you believe that acting like something makes you that thing (Keanu Reeves disagrees)

And secondly, while Rip is most certainly the closest to being traded of anyone on our squad so there could be a good reason for not playing him, the reason that Kuester gave was contrary to this assumption. Furthermore, he started Stuckey at the shooting guard over our other 2 starting shooting guards in Ben Gordon and Rip Hamilton.

Third, even if the benching really was due to trade implications, there is absolutely no guarantee that that trade ever goes through since Carmelo has apparently made no indication that he’d sign with New Jersey. So as a franchise, shouldn’t we still be trying to prove to the rest of the NBA that Rip still has something in the tank?

Lastly, the roster management in last night’s game, including benching Rip, can easily be defined as bufoonery. Running a small ball lineup that consisted of Tay at the PF position trying to D up Zach Randolph at the end of the game absolutely was bufoonery. Starting Rodney Stuckey at SG because his productivity at the point has been lacking is bufoonery.

So we’re shitting on Tay for calling a spade a spade? Seems a bit ridiuclous to me.

right but I guess my point is, who the fuck cares if he said it? He's absolutely right. And someone needs to say it.

Detroit Sports Media hasn’t questioned the lineups that much. Joe Dumars definitely hasn’t questioned the lineups. And you sure as shit know every player is confused as hell with the exception of maybe Jonas, Big Ben ,and T-Mac…

It certianly could have been put in a more diplomatic way but we’ve won only 12 games this year. The time for diplomacy is over.

Stuckey is better than Gordon or Rip, if you ask me. And you know how I feel about Stuckey. I actually like that just as much as I like seeing TMac start at PG (which is the best thing Kuester’s done all year, IMO).

by brgulker on Jan 14, 2011 4:10 PM EST up reply actions  

The more I think about it, the more I want to give kudos to Kuester.

Aside from thinking that he should have told him, out of courtesy, if it was decided before the game. If for nothing else, to save his ass from a proud veteran.

I hate using this term but, this is the ultimate “there are no sacred cows” on this team. Because looking at the lineups and playing time, everyone has been punished for their play, yanked in and out. Yes Rip was stripped of his starter spot, but that took longer than most people thought it should have happened. He has been the one, in my mind, that has played the worst and has been the most disruptive on the court. He has looked casual and disinterested. So in order to save face the coaching staff has to pretend either side really wants him to be there when in reality they don’t? Fuck that.

If Kuester decides to give a DNP-CD to Tay (which will not happen) and tells him before the game “Who’s the boss? I’m the boss” I’m gonna send that man some Arby’s fries with a note congratulating him for having the biggest balls in the Pistons organization. If nothing else, its time to put his foot down and get a grip on this culture of the inmate running the asylum. This is the third coach in a row these players shit on, and maybe they’ve all been shitty coaches, but good veterans don’t turn in 3 coaches in a row.

PD: I do not blame Rip and Tay for wanting out, nor will I wish them wrong once they are traded, but my loyalties lie with the Detroit Pistons. My primary concern is the name in the front, not the back.

He’s been streaky with his shooting, but so has BG. He’s had to play frickin’ SF, which no other guard has. The first game he came off the bench, he had a monster-good game. I’ll give you the technicals, and his overall FG% is low, but how else has Rip been such a problem?

Joe beat me to it

You are going to see what you want to see, like you said, based on your personal observation. If you are looking for Rip to be lazy and disinterested, you will see that. The truth is, Rip hasn’t really been anymore lazy or disinterested then most of the players on this roster. I’ve seen plenty of instances where it looks like BG took the play off, or he failed to close out on a guy shooting. CV shows he only cares about his offense everytime he steps out on the court, disinterested in learning how to play defense. Stuckey gets bored with trying to be a PG and instead turns into a wrecking ball, etc etc.

As far as this article goes: Tayshaun was wrong for saying that to the media, Kuester was wrong not to tell Rip (A guy who has been a Piston for so long) he wasn’t going to play him at home. It was nice to see BG play well in the 2nd half, but I’m not going to jump to conclusions saying he’s the bomb now. Look what Bynums done since his big game. I’m glad to see Kuester put BG back on the bench, because he really hasn’t done anything with the time he’s been given as the starter. Maybe it will put a fire under him like it did for Rip (albeit 1 game)

by Mac- on Jan 14, 2011 4:05 PM EST up reply actions  

I think you're being a bit harsh on CV's defense. At times, he's shown improvement...

but just like his entire career, he’s lacked consistency there. He’ll make an impressive block on one defensive play and then let his man have an unimpeded cut to the hoop for an easy dunk the next.

That said, he seems to be playign better defense than he did last year, but again that’s not saying much.

by The Boourns on Jan 14, 2011 7:04 PM EST up reply actions  

but how else has Rip been such a problem?

I would say that the style of offense that his game demands we play is one of the most significant obstacles to this franchise transitioning to the next era (however unclearly defined that might be).

And I have been a huge Rip fan. He is a square peg in a round hole … benching him is the best thing for the franchise moving forward.

by brgulker on Jan 14, 2011 4:12 PM EST up reply actions  

I might agree with that, but

There is NO style of offense that fits this roster. We have no post offense; our supposed PG of the future turns out to be a significantly worse passer and decision-maker than an aging, banged-up former scoring machine (and I say that with affection toward T-Mac); we have no players except maybe T-Mac who can consistently command a double team outside the paint; the highly paid SG not named Rip is an equally streaky shooter who also isn’t very good at creating his own shot; our best 3-point shooter, Daye, gets wildly inconsistent playing time; we play Rip and Tay out of position far too much, and still, going by stats, Tay is our most efficient offensive player.

So sure, maybe Rip needed a pin-point passer like Chauncey and ‘Sheed to set screens. But subtracting Rip doesn’t make our offense good, or even better, because there’s not much else we can do except hope Rip, BG, or T-Mac get hot for a quarter or two.

by Toledo Joe on Jan 14, 2011 6:14 PM EST up reply actions  

I hear you

But, subtracting Rip does mean a lot to the team’s future ability to rebuild, regardless of whether or not he’s been a problem on court or off.
