Ainge really does not know how to tank.

He seems to like to farm out the tank, which follows the pattern he did with the Celtics. So far, they have nine extra future first rounders and swaps with little or no protection coming in starting 2025, so that's a start.

Banner-raising ceremony in Detroit in about 15 mins. Cade's number also about to be retired among the Pistons greats!

Congrats to the Pistons!! Dumars would be proud.

Bogdanovic did all he can to lose that in the end.

Just watched him go 4-4 from three over an eight minute stretch in the third.

Hali great player.

But I don't know if the Pacers win anything if they continue to play ass-ass defense.

The Pistons won on the strength of:

-- 35-40 FT shooting
-- Winning the first half 52-44
-- Losing the second half by only 83-77

I won't be opposed to both the Sixers and the Wolves losing tonight, to wrap up a perfect day.

We'll just have to settle with the Lakers taking another L as a consolation.

Lakers the greatest pretender.

Lebron will keep the money coming in, but winning is out of the question.

Quite a few posters blasted me when I kept trying to pull for Nesmith. A few kept pointing out his below average 3 point shooting as fact that he can't shoot. Or sucks. I kept pointing out that Nesmith shoots well when he gets consistent minutes, but got screwed and sometimes would sit for long stretches of games. The typical LOW IQ response was "he can't shoot so why play him" One IDIOT poster claimed Brandon Boston > Nesmith because of one Freakin Game.

Steady playing time, Steady playing time, steady playing time.

Also stated the same for Hauser and the same for PP

After tonight's game's calculation, guess who leads the NBA in 3FG % ?? Yes that's right.. Nesmith..

Well they are trying (rumored) to make a trade (Siakim?)

Siakam would be a big help to the Pacers.

Let's see if they can pull it off.

I don't think he fits with them, not a good 3pt shooter.

It gives them some semblance of an inside presence.
