The Pistons make the playoffs last year if they replace Drummond with Anthony Davis

Why did Andre Drummond lead the Pistons to 29 wins in the east?

Kevin Love is a 5 seed in the east with Drummond's roster



I have no idea what point you are trying to make.

Andre Drummond 'led' a Pistons team to 29 wins because they had the most jumbled up, mis-matched roster, with absolutely no outside shooters. And the worst coaching staff.


Kevin Love would have gotten us into the playoffs, yes.

I'm still

Maybe, I don't know.

You sound mad. Sorry the Pistons have 3 rings in the last 25 years, and the Pellies have 0.

Lol no nice troll though

Dude is one of the best rebounders in the game and that's not even counting his almost unstoppable offensive game.

Midrange...post up....shoot 3's

If Anthony Davis is better than Kevin Love (doing it on both sides of the ball, as you put it), what is his excuse for not making the playoffs THIS year (2014-2015)?? 

Because (using your logic), if he is better, with a better supporting cast, he has less/no excuses, right?? 

thx
sorry man I'm just not sure which part of "regardless" of the playoff discussion you're not understanding.

Also, how can you make an excuse about something that hasn't happened yet?

I'd take a rebounder with mediocre defense and great scoring ability over someone who can play defense and is mediocre in rebounding and scoring. Rebounding leads to more points for you and less for your opponent. 
not sure how this is relevant to Love vs AD

So your 'rules' don't apply to Davis?

If he's better, what is his excuse, if they don't make the playoffs this year? The supporting cast is better, true?

f you take Love, yeah you'd probably make the Finals at least one if not 2 or three of the next 3 seasons, but what happens if you run into that Heat situation where you don't have the flexibility to improve?


That's not a what if. That's exactly what's going to happen. So if you get Love, it better damn well work because their potential is maxed out.

He will make the playoffs, so your argument is futile.

5 posts later, I still don't know exactly what you're talking about so that's probably for the best.

And don't you ever call me a slappie again!!!! What's a slappie, btw?

So many excuses

He might help them win more if he wasn't busy getting trolled by Disney tweens.

If banging chicks negatively affected your ability to win, then no NBA team would ever win a single game.

True

As an aside, I bet her free throw percentage is higher

Pump the brakes a little, Pelitard. Anthony Davis wasn't worth ten extra wins over Drummond's production last year.

You take the Pelicans and put them in the East last year even with all the injuries they would have made the playoffs. The Pelicans won 19 of 30 games (63.3%) against Eastern Conference teams.

Detroit went 6-24 vs Western Conference teams.

Are you proud of yourself for arguing against a point I didn't try to make?
