That is Iveys fault, but also coach Casey, for not making sure everyone knows.

It's embarrassing how bad this Pistons franchise has become. Can't even do the simple things correct.

RJ's been averaging 29mpg since the trade and has been +31 over the 6 games before tonight...a game in which he's once again 3rd in minutes atm while registering a +16 through 3 quarters of play.

So are you sure you meant "bench" and "liability"?

It is embarrassing how unprepared this team is down the stretch in these moments. Sure, Jaden isn't off the hook but another Dwane Casey masterpiece.

I was happy though, at least my Bulls -4.5 would hit. And then Cory damn Joseph banks a useless 3. I don't know which guy I hate more, Cojo or Dwane. TORONTO TAKE YOUR TRASH BACK.

Lakers 3pt shooting looks significantly better without Bron or AD in the lineup.

Boston is just ridiculous from three. You can't leave these guys any space.

Atleast Ben plays better defense then RJ.

Celtics playing Horford sparingly all year is going to pay off in the playoffs.

8/8 tonight including 6/6 from 3

I have basically made up my mind that if Casey is coaching this team next year, im bailing. I've been following Dallas since Lukas first game, and I may just make them my primary team, something I never thought I would say.

This "patch" the Pistons are in is unbelievably bad(worst in team history) and there is zero accountability. Owner doesn't care that Weaver has a bigman fetish, Weaver doesn't care that Casey couldn't coach a highschool team.

It truly is bizarre, and I'm actually starting to believe it's malicious, like Weaver and Casey are undercover agents, sent to destroy the Pistons franchise, so it gets moved to Seattle.

:lol: I know that sounds nuts, but Holy **** these past four years have been brutal

Mitchell played with so much heart today. It's a shame no one else showed up. Our bigs especially let Boston's bigs punk them.

All these shots were bricks against the Knicks, make or miss league.

Huge minutes for your starters even down double digits the second half. Is that normal?

Jarrett Allen was an All Star at one point in his career right? Damn what happened.
