They forgot to draw the NBA 3 point line at WSU Fieldhouse! LOL!

Judging solely from his jersey, Cade's shrunk another inch.

Ausar's on the bench, not the court, yawning.

Scrimmage time. Duren is a man among boys.

Tobias Harris not in the scrimmage. Not seeing much from Holland.

Holland hits a three off a Sasser assist. Sasser keeping the white/bench team in it against the blue starter sorta.

If Mason can't keep the names straight, how the heck am I supposed to?

Almost no teal in this crowd. Good.

DUNK CONTEST!

Holland got robbed in the dunk contest. I will spare you the rookie sing-along. Signed shirts and balls were flying in the stands. Annnnd, it's ovah!

You old heads gotta get over it, it’s easily one of the best and most popular color ways in the league

All those who wear teal are my enemy, and an enemy of good basketball.

lmao I love my pistons, and I love a good color scheme, sue me

Thanks for that... I used to go to all of them 20 years ago, when they were at UD before moving to The Palace

The teal era begun with a 54 win season! I remember it fondly- it was the first season where I followed the team the whole year through. I started following basketball part of the way through the previous season (the last red/blue season before we went back in 2001.)

Kinda crazy that 54-28 was only good for a 5 seed back in those days.

As for the teal, I'm OK with them using it as a throwback here and there like they did a few years ago, but hell no on ever bringing it back as anything more than that. The red jersey is the one they need to bring back, preferably the 2000s ones but I'd take the 1995 one as well. Enough of these black "DET" or dishwater gray monstrosities, please.

I liked the open practices at Oakland U and the O'Rena the best. They were much longer, much bigger and energized crowd (Trump would be proud), with a better look at how the players were doing. And, you never saw them drawing up the NBA 3P line minutes before the game started. The Motor City Cruise play at WSU Fieldhouse, and I got the "4 free tickets at a game of my choice" promo as I left, so I'm going to check that out when I've assembled the right batch of 4.

The teal remark was simply because there was one lone guy decked out in teal -- hat, jersey, etc -- sitting a few rows behind Mason. It suddenly made me aware of how much teal there WASN'T in the building. In the original teal era, we were a .500 treadmill team, not really worth my ire. I didn't like the color, but whatever. But I grew to hate teal more as teal ribbons became associated with sexual assault and gynecological cancers. Now I see teal and want to give it the bird.

Yeah I agree with all of this 100 percent.
