Following the Mantra of Obama: Change Is Needed in Detroit

Game four of the Pistons-Cavs series was a disgrace.

Not because of Detroit's record. Not because LeBron shoved his LeFist down our LeThroats.  Not even because we were eliminated.

But because never in my lifetime have I ever seen such a betrayal of a home team.

No effort. No support. No "Deeeeeeeeeetroooooooiiiiiittttt BAASKEEETBALLL!" chants, just "MVP! MVP!"

On Sunday, Lebron was truly the King of the Palace.

If Joe Dumars has any sense left in him, he will change the Pistons' roster more than he has ever had to. Dumars should do the following if he wants to get this franchise back on track: 

-Not resign Rasheed, who saw it fit to be bested by a kid he should have totally dominated.

-Try to land either Mehmet Okur or Carlos Boozer, or both. 

-Trade Tayshaun for a small forward who knows what toughness is. 

-Fire Michael Curry and hire a coach who knows the meaning of consistent rotation.

Must I go on?

Out of all of the teams of the East, the Pistons have been the biggest disappointment. Luckily, the Pistons are also in one of the best positions to make waves this summer.

Lets pray that there is still a drop of Detroit Motor City Oil left in the Piston of this Detroit sports car, or else we'll be pushing it all the way to the Bottom of the Barrel Gas Station.

Assuming that there is anyone willing to push, of course.
