Lol, I was thinking we were getting ready to play at 7 and then realized we already played earlier. Looks like my schedule confusion was a blessing.

Comical stuff, has been this way for too long. Bullock took 6 shots!

Games like this are why we need a floor general in addition to Blake. Sure Reggie hit a couple of nice 3's, but he ain't a PG.

Ben Gordon and Charlie V aren't walking through that door.

Right we need a floor general to topple the mighty tanking hawks at home without their best player!

Casey has called out the Pistons consecutive games for lack of energy...I'm hopeful it has to do at least partially with having ish out since neither Calderon or Jackson can push the pace.

This happens every December. Kids with money looking forward to Christmas and getting caught up in the Holiday spirit... where basketball might not even be secondary on their list of priorities. This losing month has happened since Drummond was drafted. I think there were 5 straight years of 9 losses in Dec. I added a post last year. Some things never change.

Lazy ass players who think they’re better than they are. That’s what we have to work with.

This is SVGs roster and you could put Pat Riley in as our head coach and you’re still only getting so far as 8 seed with these mentally week horses.

You pay a young guy a lot of money and their motivation naturally comes off if they're not that talented in the first place.

Poorly constructed roster and salary structure is to blame. You get no where with Andre, Reggie and Stanley.

It’s time to start over and flip them for picks.

I liked watching the Clips game last night. Made me sad lol. Tobias looked great. Bradley was playing his tough nosed D. Their rookie they got from our pick looked good. Sad

Oh well SVG and Gores wanted a "star" to fill up a new arena and they got one. But problem is, this roster has nothing else... especially at PG and wing positions.

Happy Holidays, folks! :beer: :party:

Things are bound to get worse before it gets better... But I still believe there will be better days ahead, both in life and for this team. Keep the faith, everyone! :biggrin: :peace:

Cheers, man. It can't really get too much worse for the Pistons, can it? Other than perhaps Sacramento, I struggle to think of a team that has been as bad or worse than them for the past 10 years. Sure, other teams have had worse records over small stretches, but no team has been as consistently terrible with no plan or discernible hope than the Pistons.

Tobias looks like the guy that can be the 3rd best player on a deep playoff team. He's looking so good.

Sacto is the only team that's done more badly than Detroit in the last ten, but they are absolutely on the up-and-up... Fox is legit.
