Another weird start time today of 5 pm

Kristen Keith is a beautiful ray of sunshine

Gonna be a reeeeeal ugly one for the Knickerbockers today.

I've been up since 7 thinking about this game. Let's roll you guys.

48 minutes away from .500. Man. MAN.

Love this 5:10 start, fam.

MAN. Reggie is on fire like that guy at Beaumont Hospital the other day.

DEFENSE!

This is fun, fam.

ALL CYLINDERS.

Get that shit outta here!

Man, Stanley's gotten so much better the last couple months.

Man, Stanley's gotten so much better the last couple months.
He's rebuilt himself with hustle and defense and subtly great passing.

Love Tobias.

Who the fuck is Hernangomez?

Sounds like an IMMIGRANT.

Lol, KCP is so good at drawing fouls on those.

I picked a good day to wear my Tobias jersey!

Still hate Baynes though.

WATCHING

Man, if a group of ICE officers really wanted to bust up some families, they should hit up the KNICKS LOCKERROOM

.500!!!

WE DID IT!


So special.

Lol @ "Ron Baker"

How many Plumlees are in the league right now?

Lol @ "Ron Baker"

You mocking him?

Ha!

If only we were this good on the road.

CLOSE THE THREAD

How many Plumlees are in the league right now?

Answer: TOO MANY

Stolen from ESPN's power rankings but this is pretty telling:

"The Pistons are 33-14 this season when they score 95 points or more compared to 0-19 when they fall short."

EAT SHIT ZEKYL

Got 'em where we want 'em.

They aren't going to shoot 100% from three for the whole game, remember that!

LOL @ 44 in the first.

These rims are rigged. Fucking cheaters.

Cavs are such fucking pussies.

Today's NBA for you. THANKS, LIBS.

CLOSE THE THREAD

nvm

nvm
The ole' Glan Dadzig FORWARD jinx. SMH.

So these last two haven't been fun...

Better to give up 28 in the first than 44.

Always in doubt

The Craptors are in BIG, BIG trouble tonight!

LOL @ Blaha

-34 points earned in BEAT THE NUMBER. What a loser. Sad!

BEAT THE NUMBER

This is the worst 1st quarter team ever.

How do you get your shit swatted by ish Smith like that?

Marcus giving DeRozan THE D!!!

smh @ Pizza Hut high tops

Can't wait to get the 8 seed and get swept by Cleveland again.

9

It's time for Stan to go after the season but I know ownership will keep him for another year. They want "stability" going into a new arena but Dumars could have had the same results.

But he never got the chance, wonder why?

That was truly another exciting afternoon of NBA basketball!!

Missed it, had no idea it was an afternoon tip.

SO HAPPY WE WON, THOUGH!

Would not be surprised if they lost to the Nets.

TRASH.

That's enough to make me pull for the lottery pick (again)

At this point, with this draft I'm with you. We need the fix in too for a top 3 pick.

Thirding

Wish we had Charlie V launching triples at this point

So we're probably going to end up getting the 8th or 9th pick again, right?

So bad. These guys have quit on SVG.

Watch Gores fire him and hand everything over to Isiah.

I might have to check out.

I have to admit, I haven't actually been watching these games. Not going to care about them if the Pistons don't either.

I checked out about two weeks ago but the frustrating thing about this team is that they don't just tank for a couple years so we can get a couple top 3 picks. Nope, we have to get the 10th pick, have a crappy season to watch as a fan, and no improvement the following year.

Gores with the Big Ben cash grab!

SVG looks like he's about to stroke out

This would be a spectacular loss.

Thought Whiteside's tip was a little late, but it doesn't matter. Team's a joke anyway.

Nvm, he tipped it in in time. lol

How is that not a jump ball then??

HUGE CHOKE

Everything's just so unfair, you guys.

Poor everything on this team. Top to bottom.

Is it wrong that I instantly felt horrible for Blaha?

I was preparing something in the kitchen while listening to the final minute of the game on TV. I was thinking of how disappointing it would be that the Pistons were probably going to lose on the final possession, and Blaha's plaintive "No!" told me I was right. Don't like defeatist thoughts like that, and certainly don't like Blaha upset, but what can you do.

Why did I turn this on?

I swear, Stanley steps out of bounds in the corner more than anyone in league history.

KCP IS PISSED!

Nets will win on a 4 point play from Lopez.

I LOVE THIS TEAM

KCP IS PISSED!

Man, he really wants The Eyes nickname.

Wish we could get #KCPDUI trending

Are we officially eliminated yet?

Wish we could get #KCPDUI trending

Kentavious Coldones-Pope. #smh

yeah,I know that sucked

Typical Pistons. Win 30-40 games, show no improvement, and get the 10-11th pick where we draft another Stanley Johnson.

It may be because it's so fresh, but this failure of a season feels worse than the failures of the past 9 years. It seemed like they were possibly improving after making the playoffs last year, you know? Instead, Andre Drummond tried to become Lakers-era Dwight Howard with his crummy hook shot, Reggie Jackson's injuries turned him into modern-day Derrick Rose but not as good, they're only capable of running that one offensive play where the ball handler sets a high pick to a guy coming off a curl which turns into a garbage midrange shot most of the time, I hate them, etc. It's such an unlikable team.

It's like you're inside my head. I was so excited for this season too.

I was thinking 5th seed this year and maybe fighting for 4th and now we are looking at drafting a garbage small forward at 10th who won't ever play but will be doing Hungry Howies commercials.

Feel like I wasted a lot of time on this team, dont usually feel that way

Guess I shoulda known, when the SHITSTORM thread was already going strong mid-December

Hey, now that's just unfair. He might be doing Little Caesar's commercials instead.

Indeed, this was a BIG step back.

We were past the stage of "Reggie will be back, that's why we started off so slow" excuse.

Can they just forfeit the rest of the games? Because the season's been over for me for about 3 weeks now

This got no love. So steamed.

So disrespectful DADZIG. SOME of us have substance abuse problems you might remember. You Trumpers are all the same.

ALL the same.

Seeing that no one liked or retweeted it has restored my faith in humanity.

Bad win last night, guys.

Officially eliminated.

I'm sure they will bring out the "bad boys" again tomorrow for the final game. I've never seen a team milk something so much.

Compared to the hype for JLA closing, the end of the Pistons Palace is a whimper, not a bang.

I'll be there for the whimper.

Are they even planning anything? They basically had every Piston of substance do his own half time question and answer session.

Dicks out for The Palace.

Blaha not calling this just doesn't feel right.

I'm afraid Blaha's going to retire soon. His heart just seemed broken this year. His head wasn't in it after the All Star break.

Was thinking the same.

That doesn't mean we'd be getting Shepard, does it? Fuck that

Champion? Even more 'ugh'.

We're getting either a top 3 pick or an All Star game for this move downtown. I'm praying for the pick. Come on Silver, let's do this.

Champion? Even more 'ugh'.

Yikes!

I'd be stoked if we found a way to steal McLeod back. Ha!

The game should have been on FSD last night with Blaha and letting us watch the ceremony. It did NOT seem right without my man Blaha.

Hilliard suuuuucks.

Hilliard suuuuucks.
To be fair, they've been playing him at PG.

Really? yeesh
