Game 26: Pistons @ Bucks 6 PM EST

[Patrick27]

Fire Monty, I’d bet we see better results. The players have said **** you to the coach. Something has to happen. Fire
The coach or trade the player do something!

No matter how bad he is, nobody is going to pay a coach $78M to coach only 25 games. We're stuck with him for at least a couple years.

[MortSahlfan]

Ausar is a pure winner. No concern for field goal percentage. Heaves a full court shot.

That is impressive.

Yes it is... Tay would always wait to hear the buzzer, THEN launch it. Can't stand that selfishness.

I doubt it

[MortSahlfan]

Those boobs are about to pop out during free-throws to distract us from the MJ poster in the background.

right??

[tradez401]

we definitely could use a bobby portis style player on this team.

[Absolutia]

Well I'm feeling pretty smug. I predicted a Bucks win.

This team might annihilate the NBA all-time losing streak record. Seems like he has totally lost the locker room, and we know the front office hasn't been a fan of how he is handling certain players. All bets are off IMO. Monty might be keen to work something out too.

It's not like a coach's salary counts against the cap, it's just a business expense. With the Pistons being worth more than 3 Billion dollars, that's like 2.5% of the franchise's value.

[Snakebites]

I didn’t watch this one.

10/10 do recommend.

[bstein14]

I also saw 0 minutes of the game tonight and only about 10 minutes over the last four games combined and I a happier person for it.

[Kalamazoo317]

I watched the first half and fast forwarded liberally throughout the second half. Pathetic showing

[SuperBad]

I usually watch religiously until at least the trade deadline, I’ve missed like the last four, I feel bad fur us and our players, I never though it would be this bad, I’m thinking of picking a new team, the Pistons have been mediocre or awful since Obama was elected, now we’re bottoming out? it’s hard to sick up for.

[ComboGuardCity]

This might be an odd take but I’m seeing some positives out there:

- Cade is starting to really grow offensively (albeit last game was an all time low). He might not be a full time point but this experience is invaluable ala Booker.

- Bojan is a true professional. He’s 34 years old and hustling after loose balls down 30 with 3 min left.

- Wiseman is showing some comfort while playing bigger minutes. I’m happy for the guy.

I think we surprise people against Atlanta on Monday. The streak is truly taking its toll and it’s obvious, but I think we start stringing some wins together relatively soon.

[SuperBad]

There one of the teams preseason I thought we would beat here and there. Monty needs a reset
Start Cade, Burks, Livers, Bojan, And Bagley

Let Hayes, Ivey, Stew, Wiseman and Ausar the 2nd unit.

[Mr Peanut]

I'm sure there's a lot of criticism that can be leveled at many different players/staff, but I think it's become reasonably clear that Livers is a bust. This season:

21.8 MPG for 5.2 PPG and 2.3 RPG, shooting 30% FG and 25% 3PT (4 attempts)

When he's not busy been injured he's just a waste of rotation minutes.

[MortSahlfan]

I watched the entire game. If I didn't, I couldn't properly criticize. With a back-to-back, I didn't think it was wise to have Cade and Bojan in the game down by 31 with 5 minutes to go. As said above, some guys are professionals. Some guys play for numbers. Weaver has to be watching this and like a band, you need complementary pieces.

I don't care who is removed from the rotation, but Sasser should be playing 15 minutes off the bench. Play whoever works hardest. It can't get worse than being down 20-30 all game long.

[Sort]

I think you don't need to watch the games to criticize the team. I'm happy people have moved on with their lives, but the spin factor for this one was breathless. Monty said the Pistons right now are learning like teams do in the playoffs. Once the Pistons break the streak, they will never want to be that bad again and start playing like a team that got trounced in the playoffs and comes back strong the next year.

A little truth and a lot of hyperbole.
