HAPPY NEW YEAR!
To a better 2023 Pistons season... <raises can of Dr. Pepper>

Brutal loss for Michigan. Hopefully we get a win to finish out 2022 on a positive note with a win against an very underperforming Minny team that sold the farm for Gobert and hasn't put it together yet.

Knox is questionable. Knee contusion.

My God the Apathy here is unreal. I wonder what the Pistons local ratings are these days.

I mean no judgment, I turned it off 3 minutes in, but local revenue (ratings/Gate)has to be in the absolute toilet for Gores.

Is what it is.

Ivey out of control. 3 TOs and 0 Assists as the starting PG isn't going to cut it. Was pretty solid last game was hoping he'd show more as the primary ball handler with Killian out.

Damn that Ivey fall looked bad, hopefully hes ok

Down goes Ivey with a hard fall. It'll be interesting to see if they let him play this game or if they take extra caution since we've got nothing to play for.

Every player has a game they need to forget immediately, for Ivey this is that game. He has been horrendous.

Just like Killian, Ivey has clear NBA skills, but he's gonna need time to put it together.

Hopefully it doesn't take as long, but its not like there's any hurry around these parts lol.

We know we can't stop anybody, so what is it going to take to win? 130? That's like 40 each of the next 2 quarters. No prob. We got this.

This is probably the hottest of takes but Ivey seems like the 2nd coming of DSJ. I would not be adverse to trying to flip him regardless of who we draft. This is not a vote of confidence in Killian, but rather a lack of confidence in Ivey. Hes not a good shooter or passer, doesn't seem like he will be a good fit with Cade going forward.

Diallo got hit so hard.

For being a coach's son and someone around basketball nonstop his entire life, Ivey isn't as high of a bball IQ guy as you'd like him to be. He makes a ton of rookie mistakes, which is understandable because he's a rookie, but he is really far behind where you'd like him to be.

With Cade out, we should probably scrap the CoJo experiment and let Ivey or Killian run all the offense so that Ivey gets more experience running the show..... Stagger their minutes... and let Diallo get the other guard minutes with CoJo out of the rotation.

You keep bringing this up and I keep giving you the Pistons' home attendance stats. They're currently 11th in the NBA in attendance at 18,573/game. That's 91.3% of LCA's capacity for Pistons games. Point being, Gores' wallet isn't suffering in any way.

The apathy is with the content of this forum. Posters are tuning out.

At this point, im open to anything. I'm also waiting for a move from Weaver. Hes been pretty quite as of late.

Wonder what he's got cooking.

I'm wondering how many butts are actually in the seats, but hey, if the tickets are paid for, good job.

Man if Bagley had a better basketball IQ he would be a hell of a player. Good effort and inate talent, just not great at parsing the game itself. A Chris Paul type of pg would make him a superstar.

I haven't been to any Pistons games but I've been to a number of Red Wings games (company tickets) and they're averaging 18,453 which is 94.5% of the capacity for hockey games. From my guess that's about 5% higher than the actual butts in seats attendance.

And right now I personally wouldn't consider the Wings to be a much bigger draw than the Pistons; I'd rather go to a Pistons game than Wings game. Point being, I don't think it's a stretch to believe the Pistons actual attendance isn't something far less than tickets sold. Granted, I go to Wings games EVERY SINGLE YEAR more than I'd like to because of the company tickets.

Alright, 38 in the 3rd got us into a tie game.

I looked it up(per espn) and the Pistons are 21st in percentage. (91.3)

I assume that's where you got the average from?

They are also 10th in totals (334,305)
