Minny gonna win and jump the Pistons which seems surreal considering that they've been behind pretty much the whole season. It's likely going to come down to that head to head with them. For one day at least, the Pistons are in 2nd.

Kevin Porter Jr dropped 50 points and 11 assists tonight as the Rockets beat the Bucks. Went 9 out of 15 from deep.
I know he has some personal issues, but crazy to think he was just given away for nothing by Cleveland they couldn't find a team willing to give a late 2nd rounder for him. All they could get was a "top 55 protected 2nd rounder" which almost certainly means no pick at all will get conveyed to Cleveland for him.

Looking at the Pistons schedule I can see them losing out just as easily as the other super tankers. The only one they'd have to make sure they sat players to lose would be Orlando.

The rest of the teams are all jockeying for playoff positioning and have incentive to win, except Minny. Minny is flat out playing really good basketball, and have been for awhile which is why I predicted they'd pass the Pistons in the first place.

Pistons-Magic game may just include players exhibiting soccer-like injury flopping in order to come out of the game

Pistons haven’t lost more than 4 games in a row all season but now is a good time to break that

Good grief.


Sounds a lot like Bill Laimbeer

Shocked at MIN pushing out of 2nd place.

Please just tank the **** out of the last few games. Its 8 games man. There is no argument that these 8 games are necessary for any development. They are just garbage at the end of the year.

Grant, Plumlee, Cojo, Ellington - AND Bey, Stewart. Just rest/mild injury needs attention to sit everyone.

Get the #2 spot and let the balls bounce to hopefully lock up - Cade, Green, Mobley or Suggs.

Just sit/rest everyone.

Can a Hayes, Diallo, Josh Jackson, Sekou, Cook lineup win games? Inquiring minds want to know!

What's both promising and yet scary is that they very well may.
