Wiz are blatantly tanking, they lose their pick to The Knicks if it is 8 or above in the lotto.


Yeh I know it's why I predicted them last b4 the season, but they're winning this game I'm worried haha.

As long as they stay last I'll be happy :)



Relax, The Bulls will take care of business.
Copy will be cookin' in the 2nd half

All of sudden Detroit is proving to be hella deep in the backcourt/wing with the emergence of Jenkins, Javonte Green and Ivey's return. Even rookie Chaz Lanier has made some shots when he's gotten time.

If any other fan out there isn’t taking Detroit seriously, you best reevaluate. We just got healthy… crossing fingers. This team is deep as isht, takes nothing from nobody, and is coming for you. It’s been 20 years. We back y’all!

Once Ron Holland finds his groove and rhythm (and he will, he was always projected to be a late bloomer few years into his career) and The Pistons are set up to have a sustained run atop at the East for the next decade plus.

It's like all of their moves they have made since they fired Weaver have turned to gold. Heck even Tobias Harris is performing for them.

They are such a fun even team to watch, that is superbly coached, has great chemistry and plays hard on both ends of the floor.

My boy Duren will be an All Star, win MIP and maybe even get an All NBA spot too.

Having a lot more fun watching The Pistons than my Celtics so far this season.

Their size and depth could actually cause OKC problems if they meet in the finals.

The over reliance The Bucks (and Doc for that matter) have on Giannis is extremely worrying. We have seen Denver win many times when Joker didn't play.

They better hope Giannis doesn't ask for a trade in the Summer cause their future would be extremely grim esp with very little future draft picks and young talent coming through aside from Rollins.

Mavs are the first and only team i have blacklisted so far as to stop watching any time except when they play Boston (The Kings are almost there too)

So far this season with Kidd's ham fisted coaching they have been an utter bore to watch and worse, drag other teams down with them, like they did at home against The Knicks a few days ago.

Absolutely feel for their fans who have to put up with this garbage.

Just thought of a cool nickname for Jalen Duren

Duren Duren (after that popular, if annoying pop duo from the 80s)

I'll see myself out :D

Both teams under 40% from the field for the Mem-Dal game and the game is in the middle of the 3rd quarter....Memphis are up despite to be 4-21 in 3s

Kispert would be a good addition to a playoff contender that needs another reliable scoring option (Lakers, Knicks ???)

Wouldnt be surprised if we’ll see a Pistons vs OKC in the finals.

I like the guard depth of Cade, Ivey, Levert & Jenkins.
