It'll be nice when Franz, Paolo, and Suggs are full strength.


They’re close enough. No one is at full strength 44-45 games into a season.

To be fair, the Pistons have had no injuries all season outside of Ivey, so they have been clicking chemistry wise for a while now and just beat the Rockets and Hawks. Should be a slog.

We're miles better than this. We already know that for a fact. But how long until we snap out of this funk.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

I don't know what's worse, our performance so far or Suggs' hairline. That man needs a trip to Turkey at the end of the season.

This season has been wild. Think of how high we were riding during our big win streak. Now here we are at our lowest point, both in terms of morale and quality of play, probably in the last three seasons.

Truly, they are way better than this and they simply need to figure this out.

In an era of salary cap basketball where you have to make the right decision, I can’t help but be concerned the Magic may have crippled their window with the WCJ extension…. Not only was it a HUGE overpay but why do it at the beginning of the season when he was still under contract—now can’t be traded and will be an albatross contract…

Second thought is, I can’t help but think Mosley is losing this team and Paolo seems frustrated he has to work so hard to score—he asked for a true PG in offseason…
