The Pistons just beat the Blazers by outscoring then 41-11 in the 4th (on the road) to come from behind. Looks like Drummond and Jackson went nuts on them in the 4th. Was anyone watching? What happened?

Watched the whole game. It looked over to start the fourth then all of a sudden the Blazers started turning everything over and Reggie Jackson completely took over the game and scored like 10 straight and Drummond was also doing work. Think he had like 28 points and 27 rebounds.

Most entertaining game I have seen in a LONG time. Hard fouls, people getting ejected all the good stuff

Pistons are no fluke this year they are the real deal.

Oh, what could have been. Drummond should have been the #2 pick in 2012. Ah well.

Clifford would still be using Drummond as our backup center behind Al and hed be considered a bust if we drafted him. I'm glad for his sake that we passed.

Shoulda woulda coulda. But ya we would definitely a completely different team. Dude literally has shaq potential

Fair to say the Blazers did an awful job defending the Jackson/Drummond pick and roll?

I'm not sold on DET yet, their bench gives them absolutely nothing so it'll depend on the starters (Drummond and RJ) continuing to carry them. They play GSW, LAC, CLE, WAS, MIL, MIA, OKC, and HOU all before December. I think we'll get a very good sense of how legit they are over the next two to three weeks.

I don't know where to put this. But to the guy asking $1,750 a piece for his court side seats, on the baseline, for our game against the Nets. What the **** are you thinking.

Holy hell, 6 grand a piece for our game against the 6ers. HAHAHAHAHAHA. Who the eff is this guy.

Since we're on the Pistons topic, wanted to mention that Peter Vecsey basically rendered me as clueless since I disagreed with his opinion about Drummond being "automatic" on hook shots.

DET - GSW tonight. Might need to stay up late for that.

Deff not automatic but I only seem him try a few hook shots this season and they all went in. Hugely improved from the past few years when he wasn't even close to having the hook shot.

Funny exchange. I vote you as the winner.

Jennings coming back will help. I think they will make a trade if they keep this winning going.

Thanks.

He just blocked me though. Ugh..... I have a lot of respect for the man, but what the hell? I don't understand what just happened. I Hate the fact that he treated me as if I wasn't worth to talk to. And I don't understand how I wronged him.

My dark horse is the Pistons: What if Drummond turns into Orlando Dwight? Jackson/Caldwell-Pope take a step up. Jennings comes back in 2016 for some nice guard depth. Chance Stanley Johnson is really good.

Looking like a good call 6 games into the season lol :lol:

That's basically the standard twitter exchange with someone who has a lot of followers these days.

1. Make "bold" statement that your droves of followers will agree with blindly.
2. Find dissenter, quote tweet and instead of adding anything to support your side just add a laughing emoji or something so that they know how "foolish" they are (the quote tweet feature has made this worse).
3. Present dissenter tweet like a head on a stick to your followers, who will then tear into the person.

Justise Winslow already an elite player by defensive metrics... only Kawaii and Rubio are better.

They are talking about this being the best draft class in a long time, and Kaminsky isn't even mentioned in all these articles. Porzingis, Mudiay, Winslow, Booker, WCS, Towns, Okafor all being talked about as great long term starters. Another year, another failure by the front office/coaching staff in the draft to establish any sort of player value or excitement.
