Traitorous Darvin Ham returns to Detroit to answer for his crime of aiding and abetting the Fakers.

He's a guy I can see who replaces Casey.

Maybe. I'm still hoping Chauncey comes back if Portland falls apart.

After that awesome Lions win a win here would be so fun. Of course, Davis and Bron both playing. But, that would make a win much sweeter

72% from the free throw line for Ivey is brutal. He has to be at least at 78-82% for as much as he is going to get to the stripe.

Eh, the tank must be fueled. But I'm all for an exciting game. :D
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

Casey is excellent at having his team motivated, and ready to play every game.

I assume we get it together and make this a better game, but we look pretty bad right now.

72% brutal but 78% good :lol:

It's a bit low, but he'll get better with time.

I didn't say it was good, so in essence your laughing at yourself.

I said at least.

That describes about 99% of the league. Davis has been a concensus top 10 player in the league.

The 4 bench guys plus Bojan is a pretty solid late 1st quarter unit. I do like Knox as well lately but the steadiness of CoJo/Bey/Burks/Bojan/Bagley is something that gives that unit the offensive cohesion. Ivey/Killian have been yelling at each other again today and seemingly still haven't meshed super well.

The numbers he is putting up recently, especially the game against the Bucks are just scary.

Kinda feels like Bojan is updating his resume. Showing a potential employer what he brings to the table.

We are shooting hot to keep ourselves in it... plus Bojan might drop a career high tonight.

Geezus how many points did Bojan score in that 3rd quarter?
