Was thinking this exact same thing while watching the game! Can't believe that was over 12 years ago now.

Didn't watch.
Respectfully, they were on a b2b without kawhi and Norman a d still beat us. Just saying
Shröder looked nice.
I like our top8 guys. With Holland being an x-factor down the stretch for us. Hes 9th. Hopefully he keeps improving
Shröder Beasley Stew is a nice bench unit. Tek has been so disappointing this year.
Reed and Sasser are great 'break glass in case of emergency' guys too.

Great time to be a Pistons supporter

If they win, they move up in the East and are climbing over better teams, while missing their 2nd best scorer.

If they lose, they get to face the Knicks, who they can actually beat. Which would be epic, and get some guys fired and traded.

Enjoy this comfortable spot
You need 2-way wings, 2-way shooting bigs, and you can't allow low iq players on the court. Assist/turnover ratio is crucial. Shooting point guards are icing on the cake IF they are plus defenders.
Weaver & Casey, govern yourselves accordingly!

I think we miss Tobias in the starting lineup. Screws up the rotations.

Pistons would have won if Tobias played.

With Beasley's divorce and having a young child, he might not have 100% say in where he goes this summer if he wants to stay in Detroit. I am guessing his soon to be ex wife will be heading back to LA with their kid if that's where she originally met him when he was playing with the Lakers.

We know that not all these basketball wives are ok being in Milwaukee or Detroit or areas away from their friends/family. We've seen Dame get divorced just after getting traded to the Bucks.

It's worrying, because we kept him when I'm sure we thought of trading him. Beasley has shown he wants to stay, but there's things more important than basketball.

I woke up at 5am and couldn't go back to sleep, and watched the game immediately.... Beasley going through stuff and missing 3's is one thing, but I didn't effort from Duren. He "was on some soft ****" again.

I'm guessing Obama came to see us.. After a Clippers run at the end of the game, Balmer is going nuts, talking to Barack, who had a sullen look, didn't even say a word, or even look at him....

Although Tobias had a slow start this season and seemed to be washed up, he's become a key part of the rotation as the youngsters started to blossom. His consistent effort since Ivey went down has been even more important as Fontecchio just can't give us many quality minutes. Last night showed how much he has quietly become a much needed glue guy.

Bulls fans don't root for Pistons. I suspect Ballmer going nuts was clashing with Obama's reserve.

Yeah, we kicked the Bulls ass 3x in a row and needed for the NBA to remove Mahorn via expansion draft, and Isiah with "season ending wrist surgery" (he missed the first half)...

Honestly, with as much as NBA players travel and as easy as it is to maintain another residence in the off-season, I'm not sure that'll impact his choices all that much. Might be wishful thinking on my part, though!

Well, if Beasley can get his divorce resolved before his next contract, can keep the Alimony/Child support lower. Women become crazy to live with after catching their husbands cheating. There really is no coming back from that. Besides, that gold digger probably didn't like his $6 mil salary. He would be best advised to accept another $10 mil or less one year contract til that is resolved.

Just wondering, she's a gold digger for what reason?
