W-L-W-L-W-L-W-L... W 2night? This month is not too exciting for our guys from Mo-Town. Our last 3 games were terrible to watch. I hope we can shake it up tonight on the b2b. We are facing PG and his Indiana. They are not having as great season as people predicted.
We need a better Tobias, and please, Stan, do not run with Ish and Reggie in the same time. I heard that Ellis and Stuckey are probably out, so this is a right moment for KCP to shine. Myles Turner is showing a great potential, and he is a quite nice of a shooter so Dre will probably show his lack of outside defense. This is a last game for Indianas road trip. They are 0-2, they lost to Miami and NO. Going under .500 record would be tough for us, especially when some of Pistons fans thought that we'll go for 4W in a row against Philly, Dallas, DC and now Pacers. DEEETROIIIT BASKETBAAAAAAAAALL!

Jackson has been our problem recently, he needs to step it up, make changes, get healthy whatever

I'd rather watch the golden girls.

I was just about to ask if I was terrible for having next to zero interest in this game. UNC and UK seems a lot more entertaining.

Maybe 20 years ago when I knew all of the players because they were there for more than a year. College ball hasn't been the same in a long time, I barely even watch the tournament anymore.

Something is off with this team. Reggie is the easy answer, but I don't think it's only him. This year has been a disappointment so far.

Expecting a loss tonight.

When Reggie learns to push the tempo and actually run the offense it will make a world of difference. I give it another 2 weeks before I start to panic though.

Aren't we a half game out of the #3 seed?

I hear you, but at least the players act like they give a &*$#.

The joys of playing in the Eastern Conference.

Next 5 games will push us down a bit too unless we have another stretch that doesn't make sense.

Pacers
Bulls
Grizzlies
Cavs
Warriors.

We could win 3 of those without playing great, I also think we matchup pretty well with GS, who's going to compete with Drummond?

Wish I was as confident in this team as you appear to be.

Might get flak for this, but idgaf. I like javale. Thought he should've been starting for them since game 1

Not saying we're going to win 3 or 4 of these games, just don't think it would be crazy if we did, very realistic. We could also lose all 5 though lol
