Well, at least the Lions, Tigers and Red Wings give us hope.

Oh wait.

What a bloody mess.

This team is trash. We're better missing the playoffs and drafting the next Greg Monroe, at least he was better than most of the garbage we got right now.

I guess if we miss the playoffs we could definitely have a good choice of SFs or a new PG

We should seriously consider shutting Blake down. Hes playing hurt right now. Even if hes playing this team isnt making the 2nd round. Not point in risking his health to join in the 1st round smashing.

You underestimate how badly our Pistons suck.

Eat a mountain of wart ridden dicks. It's been do or die time for this team and they string together four embarrassing losses in a row. We have a chance to eliminate one of the teams we are fighting for a playoff seed against and the only guy that comes put and plays hard is the guy playing on one leg. Says a lot about you that you want to stick up for a bunch of choking, childlike chumps.

Never should've played Blake against OKC... Just wasted his 45-pt effort and ended up setting his knee's condition back for this game and likely more over the next two. He won't be able to operate around the paint, and his defender will only need to bother his 3-ball.

Even if the basketball gods manage to squeeze us into 8th, we'll be limping badly into the playoffs with very little hope of watching anything worth cheering for. :nonono: :sigh:

Would way rather watch this team miss the playoffs and get a higher pick than get shelled by the Bucks for 4 games.

If we make the playoffs there's a 0% chance we'd blow it up and trade Blake. But if we miss that probably jumps to about 5%, so I'd take my chances with that.

I think that we get an offer from a contender for Blake and sell high on him this summer. OKC need someone like BG to put them over the top. As do the Lakers and Portland need that second superstar to put them in the conference finals.

I would take CJ Macullum and a filler + a 1st from Portland for Blake. Or Ingram and Ball would be nice gets.

It's strange how many people are just realizing we are going to get smoked if we make the playoffs. The seeding never really mattered. 6, 8 whatever. We're just nowhere near the talent level needed to compete in a 7 game series against any good teams.

If we do complete this epic collapse, we'll pick 12 or 13, so it only moves us up 1-2 spots. We would get a very slim chance of moving up, but we're essentially locked at #13 +/- 1 spot.

The neverending treadmill. Not bad enough to get a good draft pick not good enough to contend in the Leastren confrence.

If we miss the playoffs and get locked in for the 14th pick, that is no question, the top 3 worst ways to end a season for a team.

That's been the story of this franchise for the past decade or so, so I'm not even really surprised at this point. The never ending cosmic treadmill.

If you make the playoffs with a bunch of 22 yr olds as your core, that's actually a great position to be in. If you are riding 30 yr olds to a first round sweep, yeah, that sucks.

It just boggles my mind that the Magic and Nets clinched a playoff berth before we did. We literally gave those spots to them and the Nets arguably has the worst schedule out of all of the lower seeds. And to top it all off, we choked away a key game last night too.

This is just a travesty on the whatever remains of the fans at this point.

2 days later and no warning so I'll take that as a sign that this is appropriate and follow suit. Bitch, **** you. I don't remember taking up for them. Stick to the subject, you spend alot of time on what you apparently despise. That's just stupid AF.

I am sticking to the subject. Been a fan of this team for 30+ years. The last decade with this franchise has been the most brutal and painful to watch. No direction, terrible coaching, incompetent and indifferent ownership and an endless run of impotent brainless, talentless and heartless chumps wearing the jersey. I used to go to a ton of games every year but I stopped that years ago. Wasn't going to give Karen Davidson any money and sure as **** am not giving Gores any. I still watch and occasionally post my frustration and disgust about the state of this once great franchise. You got some big fat bug up your ass about someone calling out this franchise for being the trash fire that it is. Go away and don't come back until you've finished eating that mountain of wart ridden dicks.

You seem angry. Tell me more sweetness.

By the way you seem to know alot about wart ridden joints. I think your man might owe you an apology.
