We will be grasping at straws tomorrow night. I don’t see Detroit losing to the Knicks after coming back the way they did in this game.

If Memphis had Val, or even Noah, they win this game.

I sincerely doubt that their top 8 players all have actual injuries.

Maybe Blake Griffin is too sore to play tomorrow and the Knicks can play spoiler. I doubt it though.

knicks may get out to a lead but they will tank the 2nd half just like memphis did tonight.

It will never go away until the NBA changes the draft process. Lottery should be based on last 5 seasons combined and then prevent the same teams from picking top 5 or top 3 within x period of years. Gives more franchises a crack at a top pick. How many times do we need to watch the Bulls or Cavs win the lottery while the same teams remain in the back of the lottery for 10 years.

I think Memphis will be fined, that team was so obviously tanking that its not debatable.

Dont care about that though, we got what we deserve. Shouldn't have lost so many games in the ways we lost them.

Been said a bunch, but we should've played Bacon and Frank more. They have been 2 of our top 5 players for a month or so.

Well, the Knicks have locked up best odds, so no reason for them to tank it.

I'll be rooting for Charlotte to beat the Magic tomorrow night. If my Pistons can't win on the road against the Knicks (and its not guaranteed with a hobbled Blake), I'd rather your team get in. If we win, and Charlotte wins, Pistons would get the 7th seed and face Toronto (my favorite scenario).

Thanks dude, sorry about that troll on your forums.

Hornets have no one to blame but themselves. They blew 9 leads in the last minute of the game, including 3 to the Knicks, Bulls, and Hawks.

Knicks are going to announce Patrick Ewing and John Starks out and they havent played in 50 years. We did this to ourselves

Wtf when I looked the Pistons were getting blown out. Why do the basketball Gods hate us? Or will they come through and gift us Zion or RJ?

again tanking is a joke we tried tanking for Davis and ended up with MKG yes we should drafted Beal but thats besides the point we tried to go for the superstar and got burned.
