View Poll Results: Who is your least favorite Piston?

fear the fro · 11-24-2003, 06:52 PM

I have always had a special place in my heart for Corliss Williamson. Not only is he my least favorite Piston, I would say that I have a pretty strong dislike of him.

Although I do like his attitude, that doesn't make up for the turnovers and numerous fouls at both the offensive and defensive end. He is in my opinion the opposite of clutch-not only will he miss the basket, he'll turn it over or get an offensive foul before he gets the shot off.

Now that he is playing power forward, I have even more reason to dislike him, as he is incapable for guarding the other teams' 4s and is taking away time from 4 players that I would much rather see instead of him (Ben, Elden, Memo, or Darko.) Although to be fair this may be more Larry Brown's fault than his.

Anyways, what do you guys think?

"Big Nasty" is a one dimensional player who thinks he is hard. I'm still bitter about the "fight" him and Jermaine got into. He threw the ball at his head just because he gave him a hard foul. Grow up. Hard fouls are a part of the game. Then when Jermaine approached him, Ben Wallace came over and shielded the Big Baby. Awww, is Ben Wallace your mommy Corliss?

We have completely different perspectives of this altercation.

I'll say Corliss only because I don't like him as a 4 at all. When he is dominating small guys at the 3 it is hard not to like him, but it's hard to watch all the offensive rebounds that result from him playing the 4. Nothing personal, I don't really dislike any Pistons players, but right now I don't like to see him just because I don't like where he is playing, and he's taking minutes from Memo.

Corliss is a tough guy and he knows it. Honestly, I don't think O'Neal wants any part of him in a fight.

So does Rick Carlisle:

Quote:

"If you're having a bad game defensively, that's no way to
react. No class," Pistons forward Ben Wallace said. "After
they beat us (in Detroit), they talked a lot. Our message
tonight was, keep your mouth shut."

"I'm surprised," Pacers coach Isiah Thomas said. "That's
something he hasn't shown. I think it was frustration."

Williamson fired the ball at O'Neal from about five feet away,
hitting him solidly before chaos ensued. Wallace stepped
between them and O'Neal shoved him. Wallace had to be
restrained before O'Neal took a swing at Pistons forward
Michael Curry.

"I don't know his reason for that kind of foul," said
Williamson, who slyly added, "My reaction to it was the ball
slipped out of my hands."

The Pistons were not happy about the shot O'Neal took at
Williamson.

"We do not play dirty," Pistons coach Rick Carlisle said. "We
do not throw cheap shots and I did not see us throw any
tonight. I can't speak for O'Neal, but that was one of the
worst cheap shots I've ever seen. O'Neal seemed to calm down
when Wallace stepped in his face."

As for my least favorite Piston, I really can't say I have one. So, I'll pick Darvin Ham by default.

I can't stand scorliss corliss, I mean I just think that he doesn't do what it takes to win, he is always trying to make a shot when it obviously isn't there, he plays great than looks like he wouldn't even make a high school squad

At the risk of being redundant ... Corliss. I have never been much of a fan of his, and considering that he is on a team full of really likeable guys (Rip, Wallace, Billups, Memo), he just looks even worse to me.

I think that's the only real reason he's getting votes.

Joe Dumars has built the team with good character guys and good teammates. It's really hard to not like almost all of the guys on the team. Corliss isn't a bad guy or anything, he's been a good teammate, and he's not even a bad player. I have a lot of respect for him after seeing how he took his benching in the playoffs last year so Tayshaun could get some minutes. He was the reigning 6th man of the year last season and had every right to complain but he was a good teammate about it and took it as a reason to work hard this offseason.

I take it back about Corliss, I like Rebraca the least by far, but I forgot about him because he wasn't on the poll.

I voted for Ham originally, but I forgot about Rebraca too. I change my vote to him.

**jvanbusk** · 11-25-2003, 01:28 PM

Out of those on the poll I'd have to say Hunter. I don't dislike Hunter, I just don't really care either way. If Elden keeps getting into early foul trouble, though....

Personally, I like the tough attitude that Corliss brings to the table.

Hunter, from retrospective feelings (Him choking everytime in the playoffs, being a bust as a lottery pick etc)

Do you honestly not think that Big Nasty isn't a hard ***??!?! I'd put him up against almost anyone in the NBA in a fight, sans Shaq and Karl Malone. By the way, that fight you are talking about happened a lot different, I don't think you are remembering correctly.
