Pistons getting slaughtered by the Raptors B team. They have a few decent games then there's always a game that reminds you of why they're a historically bad team, they just play like a such a poorly coached team that lacks cohesion. Even Kelser, the eternal optimist, was calling them out.

Besides that one game, Ivey just continues to struggle. I can't see us competing for the playoffs if he's a 34+ MPG player next year. I feel like Stew, Duren, and Ausar all do more when it comes to playing winning basketball. Also, it feels like we are really missing what Ausar brings defensively.

Yeah, I'm done with this. I don't waste my time anymore on things that don't entertain me so I'm out.

Lets be real

Ivey offers nothing of benefit out there

And then the Pistons decide to play actual basketball and we are down 5 at half

Ok I lied, I decided to stick it out until the half to see if they show any life and now I'm stuck watching the second half after they went on a run haha

I am 100% done with Ivey. He can't guard anyone. He can't even guard Dick who's bad, IQ just humiliates Ivey. Ivey is bad. We should've traded him while he still had any value.

This feels like one of those challenges where the refs go look at it and then it becomes a flagrant instead. Not sure why Monty would challenge this one.

i'm nowhere near one of monty's biggest critics but man that has to be a candidate for one of the worst challenges this season. wiseman smoked him in the face with an elbow, what are you contesting?

he might've just been listening to cade who immediately motioned to challenge but no matter, it was 100% a foul.

Both teams are playing terrible, but Toronto has more of an excuse. Yuck.

It’s actually pretty cool watching Wiseman. Diving out of bounds to save a loose ball, he’s making big strides.

Yup... Wiseman has played hard and is getting better. Still feels like he gets about one moving screen per game almost but if he can clean that up and just keep slowly improving on defense he's going to be at least a long term backup center in this league. It wasn't long ago I thought he'd have a hard time getting a minimum contract even with his upside but now its pretty clear he's an NBA player he just took some time to get there.
