Demarcus Cousins just got his 19th technical this season. If he gets 3 more, he'll have beaten Rasheed's record of 21 in a season

Wow. Only 4 minutes left in the third and we still haven't hit 50 points. Can't get much more pathetic than that.

I have a dream that one day the Pistons will assemble a Bad Boys version 3 team.

I'm talking about a team with elite level defense and excellent overall team play with star power.

Like the isiah Thomas, Joe Dumars, Bill Laimbeer Bad Boys, and the Chauncey Billups, Rip Hamilton, Tayshaun Prince, Rasheed Wallace, Ben Wallace Bad Boys version 2.

If Gores had any balls, he'd fire Stan. Stan has lost his edge.

I don't think we'll miss the playoffs. Even though we'd like to see more competitiveness out of our guys vs Cleveland and Utah, those are 2 top 5 teams in the NBA. Those are gonna be losses.

On a completely unrelated note, we need to retool/redesign our offense if we keep KCP. While we knock him for being 'inconsistent', they never give him the ball to get him going early. We don't run plays for him. We don't allow him to play his game - wonder if that's SVG's doing? To lower his value? Reaching, I know, but The Pistons seem to not care about KCP offensively.

It's puzzling for me too. KCP has shown real improvement playmaking and having better handles that gets him to his spots. It's like we freeze him out.

He's so round, are we sure he ever had an edge?

This unit is the only one that's done anything all night. SVG will probably swap them soon.

sad because to me kcp is the best player on the team and we should build it around him, tobias, and stanley.

Can't wait for the blowout loss to the raptors next game

40 seconds and a Hayward three and we followup that up with a Morris airball. Unreal. The Jazz are beatable, too.

watched miami vs New orleans 4th quarter instead of ours... I will bet my life they are finishing above us. We'll see how the bucks look later tonight

I watched about 1/3 of this game...much of the game was unwatchable. Big difference between a very good team like the Jazz and a mediocre team like Detroit. Jazz move the ball, can hit open shots, and play D. Can't say the same for our Pistons.

i only caught some bits at the end but it seemed like there wasn't a lot of energy from the guys.

that better change soon because we need to start piling up wins.
