I seriously underestimated this team. I really didnt think we could lose this game after being up 25 at halftime. Thank god we lost though.

I can't beilve this game wasn't a blowout. Pacers look like a team that peaked too early.

Only our team can't beat a slumping Pacers team unlike the other guys who probably spent way less than us.

Classic Pistons. Seriously, if nothing huge or major is done from top to bottom next off season, I seriously doubt this team's future even with Drummond.

Tonight is a good argument for the draft wheel. We were robbed of getting caught up in an exciting game and rooting for our team. Fans are spending months of the season rooting against their own teams. It blows and takes a lot of the fun from being a fan. It's cynical as can be.

6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

We literally have nothing to lose either. I don't know why we haven't done it in the beginning of March.

Or at least play the rookies more to ensure tanking.

I had a feeling we were going to lose when we kept Bynum in the game mid 4th quarter. This coach still doesn't realize that we should play Stuckey more at the 1. Playoff hopes are really disappearing.

Clean your glasses.


No, he really, really wasn't.

If you're gonna make a wise remark its best to make sure you're right.


He was actually hit in the head so......

Don't worry Blaha, they're not going to the playoffs. You should probably accept it now, it feels a lot better.

I thought the Stuckey/Bynum backcourt created a lot of offense.

I wouldn't mind it, I really hate cheering for a pistons loss but the way the draft is done now if your a team with no chance at the playoffs then there really is no point in not tanking. At least with the draft wheel I would know exactly when the pistons will get a number 1 pick and can just cheer for them every game.

Im not too worried about Andre, it looks just like an elbow to the head.

It looked more like a head to hip/ neck injury.

I've watched that many times and simply see no impact to the head at all.
