I didn't bother watching and probably won't for a while. I'm over this dumpster fire of a team.

At some point Monty you have to allow Ivey to run the offense like Hayes. I'm not ready to give up on Cade, but maybe he's not a franchise player and that's OK. We just need to adjust and not play the same lineups to help cover Cade.

The number of blowout games seem to be increasing as this losing streak continues. Like if we actually played hard, shot a bit better, didn't turn over the ball so damn much and the game was within 10 points in the last few minutes, you could forgive things a bit and appreciate that the young guys are trying and just don't have the experience to get over the line to get the W.

But the harsh reality is that we don't look remotely like a professional basketball team out there and quite a few of our players seem mentally checked out.

You have to wonder what the breaking point is for Gores (or Tellem). Like how much do you tolerate your franchise being a league joke and just sit on your hands and not do or say anything.

I wish there was some coordinated effort for fans to just boycott the games so the stadium is as empty as possible. It's a **** thing to do but how else does a fanbase strongly convey that they've had enough of this absolutely terrible product.

23 losses in a row without intentionally tanking is pretty impressive.

You overtly tank, you ruin players mentalities. That team needs every player replaced. And the coach who never wanted to be here, and the GM for building the team. League should force Gores to sell as well, or atleast exert pressure. Pistons are an embarrassment. Gores is a clown.

Had dinner with friends last night, and Reacher Season 2 is winning over the Bally Sports replay.
The warm, unsalted butter on my bread was surely an homage to the current Pistons defense.
Maybe the pasta too, but those wet noodles were at least long, saucy, and tasty. We just suck.

Cade is starting to look broken out there. We need a shakeup trade like nobody's business. I fear Weaver is asleep at the wheel.

with the spurs winning yesterday we're unarguably the worst team in the league now. the spurs had a worse net rating but now we are last in that category too.

weaver kept saying he wanted to build a culture in detroit and he definitely has. not sure what he was expecting when he kept going out of his way to not improve the roster.

I'm going to next Thursdays Pistons-Jazz game (free tickets). Ironically If they pull out a win i'd be in person for all two Pistons home victories this season. The last game I attended was the home opener Bulls game....Maybe I'll be a good luck charm :D
