Well we lost again. Kobe Simmons had a decent game but all of our G-league signings don't seem to show much potential beyond 3rd string bench players to be honest.

I like Ramsey, he plays defence

That's true, Ramsey is probably my favourite of the bunch as well.

Jontay! This is for you!

An entire game that looked like the last five minutes of a blowout, after both teams have emptied their benches.

And how did Bruce Brown get such a contract? Man's basketball skills are suspect.

We may never win again

Memphis losing tonight, clutch L here.

I hope Porter bet the under on the team total

The league is full of professional tankers man. We have lost 11 games in a row and STILL have the 6th worst record. With only 10 games left there is zero chance that Portland can string together 4+ wins to move us into 5th.

We're basically a lock for 6th place at this point. I think Memphis wins 1-2 of their next 10 and we either lose them all or get lucky one game.

Just thought about this....Good chance we go on a franchise long losing streak and lose 21 games in a row to close the season. If we don't get lucky in the lottery and lose the pick that would be devestating for the fans. I hope they strongly consider firing Masai and Bobby if that scenario plays out

We started too late. We could been up there with the worst of em had we tanked a tad bit earlier.

I don't think we could ever be anywhere near as bad as the top tanking teams without 3 of our most important players being out of the lineup.

I just realized, we're fixing games too.

So are Quickley and Barrett still out indefinitely?

Pretty wild that Scottie and Yak both got legitimately injured, and then the tragedy with RJ's family happened.

Really the only guy they need to manipulate creatively to guarantee a rough night is IQ. I did not foresee them justifiably having 4 starters out.

It's hard to be a complementary player when there is no one to complement.

Now consider that Detroit came into the season looking to win, didn't actively tank either from a roster perspective or a rest perspective at any point in this season until very recently, and will finish the season as one of the two worst teams in the league...

With the way the lineups look... we may be going for a new franchise record for losses in a row. Losing our pick would be the cherry on top of this terrible season. Thank you Masai.

team has operated on half measures since 2019.

well, it's more accurate to say the only exception to the team's history is 2019.
