the lakers are more or less in tank mode as they've fallen to the third worst record which means they can keep their pick if they stay there after the lottery. they're 3-7 in their last ten games and it would really be a disappointment if we dropped this game.



go pistons!

A game on my birthday. Nothing would make me happier than seeing Detroit annihilated by LA and further convincing SVG that he needs to make some serious trades.

Luke Walton has gotten the green light to tank. I think they're starting their young guys now over vets like Luol or Mozgov.

fun fact of the day...

17 of our 24 wins this year have been by ten or more points (71%).
16 of our 28 losses have been by ten or more points (57%).
in total, 33 of our 52 games have been decided by ten points or more (63%).

maybe over the all star break or something i'll compare how other teams stack up to our roller coaster-ness.

And some people don't want to re-sign KCP who is our best shooter by far. Damn, I wonder how our 3pt percentage would be without him.

Absolutely no effort, Pistons walking with swagger that hasn't been earned in the slightest.

When somebody on Detroit grabs an offensive board they need to get it out and reset the offense... not throw up an awful shot just because they got an offensive board. Something a few guys do. BBIQ please.
