I think Tom Gores just agitated the fanbase to a new level. Well done! I am sure those sell the team chats will calm right down now that Gores has addressed the fanbase with such brilliant articulation.

Greg Kelser with an end of game plea for fans to come out and support the team and bring the positive energy to help give the Pistons a much needed lift.... It'll certainly be interesting to see what type of energy the team brings to try and stop the streak on Tuesday.

The pistons should do what the lions did when they hired speilman. Hire lambeer he might not be the answer but his bluntness would be sure entertaining. Give him arms job.

Tommy G,

Yo baby yo baby YO, it's your #1 fan Uncle Mxy in da HOUSE!

I see that you pay people based on how you'd like them to perform, whether they're worth it or not.

Clearly, your problem is that you've paid too little.

Pay me $100 million dollars, guaranteed and I will give you 100% of my best effort, guaranteed!

My qualifications involve being at games when we had a losing record, then subsequently being around when we won.

I will even provide additional smack talk for free. And, for a small fee, I will tilt my head to match yours, to satisfy thirsty TikTokkers everywhere.

Hugs and XOXOX,
-M

They haven't won a playoff game since Gores has been owner. Gores is THE problem.
You can spend all the money you want but if you constantly surround yourself with incompetence through many different regimes, you're the real problem.

How do Gores and the Pistons management team not know what changes are needed / will be?

Did they really just flip a switch after their 26th loss and say: "oh. We just tied for the longest losing streak in NBA history. Maybe we should start thinking of ways to make changes."

W.T.F. What have they been doing these last 25 games?

Are they dreaming up more ways to pay off friends and family members via more phony job titles? Trying to find Sirvydis 2.0 to line the pockets of the Tellums? Or maybe as others have said maybe they are spending their time on alternative forms of recreation.

I know this last paragraph is a low blow that I normally don't resort to but it's completely inexcusable not to have at least some idea of improvements that need to be made. Just ridiculous.

Gores might be Willliam Clay Ford 2.0

As long as the team is profitable, he doesn’t care about the product or wins/losses.
