Hush troll

A little bit. In the championship years 89 & 90, he took 15 shots a game and 16 shots a game..........this 84-85 season, he took 17 shots a game. He also played about 1 less minute per game.

@@JK-br1mu Right, so why in the 1991 ECF, Thomas took only 9 shots in game 1 and 9 shots in game 2?...So you see?... Dumars took only 10 shots in game 1 and 10 shots in game 3; Laimbeer took 7 shots in game 1 and only 2 shots in game 2; Chuck Daly played John Salley only 9 minutes in game 2 while playing James Edwards just 11 minutes in game 2 and just 9 minutes in game 3.... See, when you look at the rise and fall of The Detroit Pistons from 1987-1991, it was totally risen and fallen by the Pistons themselves -- the dominance of the Pistons is when they LOSE on their own terms.... Thomas individually always played chess while his opponents played checkers and they still cannot see it. HAHAHA!

@@plainsimple244 1991 was way down for Isiah on shots attempted, but I think that was cuz of his hand. He might not have felt as confident in his shooting cuz of that. And the next year, 1992, he was right back to where he was during their Finals runs 1989 and 1990.......shooting 16 times a game. He never dropped off shooting field goals much during their best years, just a little.

Excellent points. I followed the Pistons very closely in that era, and you nailed it.

@@thebionicbassplayer Yeah, I was around during that day and I'm an objective Bad Boys Pistons fan (1987-91); I can be critical of that team 100% knowing they should have had more than 2 and I'm not referring to '88, I'm referring to '91 or even '92 had they kept their team together keeping Vinnie Johnson/James Edwards or even had Thomas even competed more in '92 and had Rodman developed a 15-20 foot jumper and a handle, which he could handle the ball, so Rodman not developing those skills hurt the Pistons from continuing success. See, after Thomas was left off the Dream Team, he stopped competing, and why should he compete because Daly's credibility as a head coach didn't come from anyone BUT Isiah Thomas, so why should he break his body when his coach actually sold him out. Thomas would never say that but as an objective Pistons fan, I will. It wasn't about Thomas not being selected it was about Daly really not letting Thomas run things as he saw fit .... I also blame GM Jack McCloskey for the moves he made coming into the 1991-92 season without Johnson/Edwards, I mean sad and then had the Pistons kept Salley in '92-'93, they revamped their front court picking up Polynice and then moved Woolridge for a great guard Alvin Robertson, which made the team great but Rodman was acting out because Daly wasn't there and then no Salley, so you keep Salley and pick up Roberston, you possibly make the playoffs winning The Pistons were made to break up that team and it was politics to pave the way for Jordan to win due to the finances of the league. Think about it from 1989-1993, Detroit lost Mahorn ('89), Edwards/Vinnie Johnson ('91) and then Salley ('92) .... Then you ask, why would the Pistons even break up that team, even if you think they lost legit in '91, why not come back ready to win in '92 by keeping the team together. Then you look at the roster in '91-'92, look at the transactions on the Sports Reference site, they could have kept Edwards/Johnson while picking up Daryl Walker and still having Woolridge but didn't. Then, the Pistons didn't even play 10-11 guys in'91-'92 because they didn't play Lance Blanks, and/or Brad Sellers who was on the roster at 7'0" who could shoot and handle the ball, still you lost size with Edwards but you could have used him, then they didn't use Aguirre enough, didn't let him start, which was a contract issue .Sad.

Mine two, growing up in Detroit he was the guy
