Same. Only person I've ever blocked out here but the negativity coming from him was overwhelming


I'm actually shocked you haven't blocked me for all of the crap I give you for your.... optimistic... ideas at times. :D

Thats right, a taste of winning for our young guys.
Give them that and they can strive higher, nothing better for morale and direction than the sweet victories.

Yeah, these are culture defining type wins. We didn't just get lucky and make a bunch of 3s. We played scrappy defense all night and made some high effort plays at key points. That's how you start building a foundation of winning basketballl.

I really enjoyed watching last night's game, but it also left a sour taste: Pistons just wasted a whole year of development with Monty Williams.

As the years go by, that decision to choose Killian Hayes over Jaden Ivey? It hurts.

I don't think we're quite mathematically safe just yet though, although I haven't worked it out.

Jaden Ivey's shot looks much more fluid and comfortable for him. I wonder if that has anything do with working with the new shooting coach or just natural progression? If we get to see Ausar this year (?), I'm very curious to see if his jump shot has made similar improvement.
