Pistons at Cavs

[SkippyPB]

Besides getting an ass kicking from the Cavs, this looked like an
exhibition game. All of Detroit's starters scored in double figures
but it wasn't enough.

Coach Van Gundy said, "We were not the least bit ready to compete when
the game began. We got completely out-competed and blown out from the
start. The game was over after one. It's hard to get anything going
when you're taking the ball out of the net every time and you're not
getting rebounds."

Really Coach? The second to last game of the season and you're not
going to the playoffs and you expected a kick ass performance?

Pistons finish off this season at New York against the hapless Knicks.
Pistons should be embarrassed if they lose to them.

You'd hope they beat the Knicks, but the Sixers took the season series
from the Pistons, so nothing is certain.

They definitely qualify as the most up and down Pistons team I remember.
Van Gundy's offseason moves have to put a premium on picking guys who
play consistently as well as pushing up the baseline of talent.
