In all seriousness, during last year's playoff run, I just kept thinking how much the pistons look like a really good knick team.

I could see craw running off screens like hamilton, marbs and billups are basically twins (they may have played for the same number of teams). Now with JJ, could he morph into Ben Wallace (another ex-one dimensional player, well, maybe ben is still one dimensional).

Frye "could" be sheed (I know it's a stretch, but hey, I'm trying), When TT is in the post and dominates his smaller defender, it reminds me of Sheed in the post, so maybe combine TT and Frye to be Sheed?

There's been some argument that Ariza (btw, me hearts reezy too) could grow up to be Prince (sans the shooting range).

OK, this is where it get's tricky...

There is no Q on the pistons, so maybe that's a positive for us, and our low post scoring options are similar, if not better, than what the pistons have.

I think LB could make us a truly entertaining team using the same scheme he used in Detroit (with more running ofcourse). Was LB the coach of pistons when they had Smits? I don't remember.

I mean, could Sweets be a baby Elden Campbell (in terms of production...a better option IMHO)?
N8 a baby Lindsey Hunter?
MoT v. McDyess?
Rose v. Dale Davis?

I don't think that LB had to use too many of his magic beans to put the 50 win detroit team over the top, but he can take a underachieving 33 win team and put them in the position where announcers say:

"Nobody wants to be the team that has to face the hungry knick team in the first round"

Thoughts?

I don't see this.

Frye could be a Horace grant (think back to younger days)

Craw-Rip comps are over rated.

Billups-marbs not much similar other than bald and muscular.

JJ as wallace is not a stretch, its inconcievable.

Reezy will be much better than prince .

Sweets is more talented than Campbell ever was.

Detroit has no superstar, but we have a diva that has demands and needs (marbs).

Larry will do very well with our team and in time it will allwork out.

Larry coached his ass off last year!

you're overdosing on the kool aids.

dude relax... your 100% convinced Santa is bringing you the Death Star but its just as likely your getting an already used princess Leia action figure. It might take some time

Sheed sucked his first year anyway... PHili dumped him

LOL

I agree, I hope its the young guys that learn it. If its TT, Penny and Malik Rose catching on the fastest and getting heavy minutes I cant say I will be thrilled about that.

I hope of Lee, Frye, Nate, Sweetney and Ariza that 5 of them are heavy rotation players and getting 30+ minutes

I can live with 32 wins if the team plays



...and leaves it all on the floor every night.

The 1st rd boys are all hard workers from what we've heard so they should soak up Larry's teachings pretty quickly.
