Young Pistons failed, coming out flat in their last big game. Lets see how they respond today, again the Suns. Newly acquired Williams should be playing, but the Suns are without Beal this time.

Still waiting for Tom Gores or mister invisible to call out the league for the free throw disparity.

It has reached asshat levels of horsecrap.

At some point, someone, probably Cade, is gonna get tossed because of it.

Skubal, go back to pitching. It's not a win-win if the Pistons lose.

For the first time in his career, Cade is on the nba.com MVP ladder top 10 at #9.

Bickerstaff already did this a week or so ago. Why do you keep crying for this every game like Bickerstaff can keep going back to this well?

You know, I really, really try and look at each game as a separate entity. I watch a metric ton of basketball, all over the league.

It is truly baffling to me, how poor the whistle is for the Pistons, as a whole.

The differential at halftime is 23-13 right now.

PHX per game average this season, is 22.4 they already have 23 attempts at halftime. Detroits is 19.9, tied for third worst in the league.

B Ball Paul might not see the floor for weeks and can still come in when there's foul trouble and make an impact as a league minimum #3C. Such a refreshing change of pace to have depth after last season when G-League players were averaging 20+ minutes a game. He's 25 and dirt cheap, I'd love to bring him back next year.

It's crazy I haven't heard anything about that since. I was expecting to read something about Bickerstaff being fined by the league but I don't think that ever happened. I thought the league always fined players/coaches talking about refs. Maybe the league knows Bickerstaff is right.
