STOP BLAMING FLIP SAUNDERS

Posted by A. Isaac on April 21st, 2008 at 8:53 am

I’m really getting sick of people using Flip Saunders as the scapegoat for every single Pistons loss. In most peoples minds, you’d think that the Piston players haven’t lost a game since the George Irvine era.

STOP IT RIGHT NOW!

This one is on the players. These are not two evenly matched up teams. There is a reason the 76ers went 40-42 on the season.

They aren’t good. They may play good in stretches but over time, they are a poor basketball team.

If the teams were evenly matched, then you could nitpick at certain plays or certain substitutions. But the way the Eastern Conference is looking, the only team that matches that criteria for the Pistons is the Celtics.

So shut your trap until then.

Start blaming guys for not playing hard for 48 minutes. Start blaming guys for blowing wide open layups. Start blaming guys for missed free throws in the 4th quarter.

I’m not panicking. I am probably one of the few people who picked the Sixers to steal a game at the Palace.

But the incessant bitching from Pistons fans has gone overboard.
