I wonder what our record will be in 2024 by the time the season is over.

Detroit Pistons coach Monty Williams is fortifying his staff, bringing on veteran Brian Adams as an assistant coach, sources told ESPN. Williams, whose Pistons ended an NBA record-tying 28-game losing streak Saturday night, decided to add Adams with assistant Dan Burke away from the team for the past month on what Williams called a “personal situation.”

I'm praying that we get at least another 10 wins so we don't make the top5 list for worse records ever lol

I actually don't think we're going to finish last this season if Duren + Cade + Bojan all stay healhy. Hornets have 7 wins, Wizards 6 wins, and Spurs 5 wins.

We'll have like a 6-14 or 7-13 stretch at some point and pull right next to those teams. Duren is such a massive upgrade over Wiseman/Bagley that he is incredibly important for us.

Pistons are gonna get waxed this game. Mostly due to Cade having an off-game. He has been on a tear as of late (7 games) and is due a stinker.

Also the monkey off the back, means a moment to relax, which will result in tonight's game. Team is gonna take a breath, and pay for it.

Cade can't play like this forever, without a bad game here, or there.

I took Pistons to cover. Nine is a lot of points.

Yup. Its certainly looking like what I said would happen. There's obviously almost a whole game to go, but you can get a sense of what's going on pretty quick in NBA games, and it's not looking good, or feeling good so far.

FVV is out of control, but otherwise the Pistons are looking good now.

Monty can't be this dumb. He continues to play this 2nd unit lineup, and we will continue to lose games because of it. I am done watching this ****.

How is it that when Cade is this off, Ivey still so rarely gets the ball?

Makes no sense. You two guards that can score and Monty isn't running plays for Ivey

James Wiseman -27 in less than 13 minutes of play.... That's impressive. Should just have Ausar be our backup C.
