Since I don’t get to see the games, my comments will always be titled:

“The View From the Box Score”

Looks like the Pistons starters took care of the ball. The young guards (Stuckey, Afflalo, and espectially “Tit” Gibson) not so much.

Considering the turnovers and low shooting percentage, didn’t see like the Pistons with “new and improved attacking action” didn’t get a lot of fast break points.

Usually, in preseason (or maybe it’s just preseason football) you want to win the first half because that’s when your starters are in. But, our bench should have beat the Cavs bench.

Killed on the boards (probably the reason for the lack of fast break points).

Dupree playing pf and maxiell playing center was stupid. It would have been better to throw Samb in instead of Dupree.

Ya Dupree has been real irrelevant for awhile now, he should be waived. He probably could get alot more playing time some where else, i believe when he was on Minnesota a couple years back he was getting some playing time.

I’m not worried about the loss to the Cavs. We only started loosing after the starters left and we had our bench players running the show, which wouldn’t happen in normal season game anyways. Our bench looked good when they we playing with the starters, but they started getting sloppy after the starters left.

If we had Nazr, Murry, and Amir in there we would have easily beat them. I was impressed by Nazr, he’s probably one of the best centers on the bench of any team. Dupree looked pretty crappy, he would be the first I would waive.
