Mid-Season Report Card: Grade Your Team

Pistons: D-

It isn't an F only because I am hoping that this is the season Joe Dumars is finally fired. The guy was instrumental in winning us a championship, but since then, he has ruined his legacy.

Primetime pretty much got it right for the Heat. Probably could have given them an A, I just think he didn't want to look like a douche for starting this thread and then giving his team an A in the OP.

I would give them an A if they fixed 2 of the 5 things they need to do better with:

1) Shane Battier's FG%
2) Udonis Haslem's jumper
3) Maintaining big leads in the 3rd and 4th quarters(which they have started to correct)
4) Better production from their 5
5) Half court offense vs the zone. They have done well lately against the Pacers and Nets showing them a ton of zone....but those were pathetic zones.


Having a better team causes me to grade them more specifically.

Wizards F

Blatche and Lewis are still on the team.. nuff said

Pacers - B

Offense is still a work in progress mainly thanks to DC being a poor passing PG and Granger's low shooting % but the team is close or winning nearly every time they step onto the court and Hibbert/George's development has been really great to see. (David West has also shown to be a great signing so far)

Just need George Hill to get healthy and fight for a high seed now.

To be fair they are showing some signs. There's a few okay players emerging which is reassuring but the roster itself is still a complete and total mess.

Monroe and Knight is a pretty decent young duo to build around.

They just need to start losing some more games so they can add a third high lottery pick.
