Man this has been a disappointing season for everyone but I at least looked forward to games even if I didn’t have much hope of us winning. But down the stretch I have virtually zero interest in watching the lineups that we’re putting out today.

The post-all star break vibes couldn’t be more different between last year and this season, even if the records are similar.

This lineup is absolutely ridiculous. Embarrassing really.

Who was hot and heavy for Johnny Davis again?

Good news, he just scored his career high in the 1st quarter. 4 points :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Good thing about this season?

It will finally kill these terrible, ugly-ass teal abominations once and for all.

Now all teams that have worn it are trash.

Slight comeback, hope we can make it exciting and get a close loss at the end.

Wiseman with a game-high 27 minutes so far. Don't overlook the possibility that we're trying to showcase him to the rest of the league.

The Wizards are truly bad. This is a scheduled loss for the Pistons, traveling on second day of a back to back. I turned on the game after watching some of the Lakers and could see how glad the Wizards are just glad to be beating the Pistons minus most of their regular rotation players.

Sad truth is that I'd rather have the Pistons roster and situation than the Wizards, and Pistons just pulled out a starting lineup two-way player at the three, the worst offensive player in the league at the one, a fifteenth man as their starting two, the Warriors fourth string center, and Orlando's fourth string shooting guard.

This is how pathetic the team is right now;

Look at the bench. NO ONE ELSE took the flight to D.C. No Cade, No Livers, No Bojan, No Stewart, e.t.c.

This is unreal. What the hell is going on with this franchise?

they are constantly sold out online in the team shop, and sell as soon as they are restocked
I doubt they are going anywhere

Seems every time I look at a box score Wiseman and Duren are combining for about 20 pts/20 rebs.
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

You might need to take a break from the Pistons until the offseason

This type of response is just inflammatory.

I'll answer your question even though you asked it in the most assy way possible, yes.

Now answer mine.

Do you remember half the team not traveling with the team before? I do not. It was always a notable when a player didn't make the trip, now half the damn team is missing from the bench.

Maybe it's just me, but that is not normal.

That part seems odd, but I don’t know if it’s happened before. And quite honestly, I’m not trying to figure that out

The teal jerseys are classified as "Classic Edition"; they can only be used in 1 season at a time and are not a permanent addition to the Pistons' jersey set moving forward. Technically, the Pistons are eligible to use a Classic Edition again next season, as it's the 20th anniversary of the 03-04 championship (!!!), but there is no indication they have done this (it must be applied for 2 years in advance.)
