At least it's on an hour earlier.

If there’s ever one to win, this is it. Raps lost by two in Boston last night. Starters played big minutes.

Honestly, I hear Toronto’s dope

With Stew being out 10-14 days, I hope they start Ausar. I don't wanna see Knox or Burks or Harris unless it's absolutely necessary. We built that 21 point lead because we played defense, and then were able to get easier shots.

I think we win today, and we can all move on from this madness

When we went November without a win never did I really think it was possible we've go another entire month without a win but here we are... Dec 30th looking at possible back-to-back months without a win unless we pull one off tonight.

Raptors going down

This is it.

Pistons lose tonight, there is no end in sight.

Going on the road, out west will mean this sucker will get into the mid-thirties.

Lose, and multiple records are gonna be set.

Can we let Casey substitute coach for this one?

One day, I might go back and see all the happy feelings after we went 2-1

I've always thought it would be random and won't really matter the opponent or road/home. The game we came closest to winning was probably the toughest opponent of the season. Yet we got blown out by Washington.

If anything probably these "should win" games stack up the pressure a bit more than going on the road out west where everyone assumes you'll lose by 20.

It's not completely uncommon for the worst team in the league to upset the standing champion or #1 seed during the season.

Still, I'd rather try my luck against a team like TOR. Slightly better odds.

It's rough. Best you wait for the day when the team is actually good, then go back and look.

I've got a few threads bookmarked for that day. I started, then stopped.

It was beautiful though. So much happiness to be out of the gutter.

*sigh*

I just made myself sad.

Have you tried being dead inside? I find a complete lack of emotion or attachment to be the perfect panacea.

My bar has been lowered for me. I just hope to see the fight that they have shown in the last few games. The ugly TO will be there yet just fight. Cade will have some TO just because of their length, will barnes or OG guard him? Can Ivey push the pace and get downhill? They blew us out earlier and we looked like we didnt have much fight which I hope isnt an indicative of this game.

They just made a trade, it might come together tonight

Scratch OG off our wish list. Damn. No way NY lets him leave without backing up the truch for a new contract.

If tonight’s not the night, Pistons go winless in January too. Tough game in Boston last night plus OG traded? Plus Precious is out too?

Just win, baby!

OG to the Knicks for RJ Barrett, Quickley and a 2nd.
