We could be .500 after this game which feels surreal with almost a fifth of the season over.

Yeah, definitely makes the games more interesting to watch when you think they could win, as opposed to losing 28 in a row.

I despise the Bulls almost as much as I despise the Packers.

It’s hard for me to maintain the high levels of animosity when there’s so much player turnover and there hasn’t been a rivalry in so long.

How do you do it? :lol:

The Pistons schedule is ridiculous. It's kind of a miracle, even against mostly weak teams, that they're 7-4 in their last 11 with such a condensed schedule and some injuries to deal with. 5 games in 7 days, 6 in 9, 7 in 11. These guys must be running on fumes at this point.

I think Greg mentioned the Pistons tough schedule. We had to play some great teams, and very little time in between games. I like it as a fan, not having more than one day without a game, including back-to-backs. I really hope we win tonight. This is how you attract better players.

I would be shocked at a victory here. This is the exact game young teams, with new coaches/players drop on a routine basis.

Growth takes time.

Not sure what's so shocking about the home team that's favored winning a game when both teams are on a back to back. Pistons take this.

Young teams, big heads. Think they are good enough to play at half speed. Going exactly as I thought it would.

Let's see how they respond.

I kinda wanna see Beasley in the starting lineup. He's been playing well.

Cade/Sasser
Ivey/THj
Beasley/Ausar
Tobias/Tech
Duren/Stew

Absolutely. Beasley is a starter in the NBA, and a pretty good one. Tony Hawk Jr is, and always will be a bench guy.

I could complain about Bickerstaff, but its difficult when this years team is several months ahead of last years in the win column.

Yeah, I'm liking the Cade/Ivey/Beasley trio.

Ivey was the guy we really needed to take a big step fwd, but adding Tobias AND Beasley is huge. I dunno, it's just wierd not having 3 non-shooters out there. Like I forgot what normal teams with actual NBA talent look like.

I'm not much of a believer in these advanced metrics.
