Bill Laimbeer is a boss!
https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/...-1991-playoffs
Quote:
Laimbeer remains unapologetic, telling Nichols that Jordan and the Bulls were "whiners."
"They whined and cried for a year and a half about how bad we were for the game, but more importantly, they said we were bad people," Laimbeer said. "We weren't bad people. We were just basketball players winning, and that really stuck with me because they didn't know who we were or what we were about as individuals and our family life.
"But all that whining they did, I didn't want to shake their hand. They were just whiners. They won the series. Give him credit: We got old, they got past us. But OK, move on."
:we: just took game 1 in L.A.!!!
Do you want Chauncey and|or Tayshaun in this front office?
Who did we have recently that could be considered a rebounding guard? That was news to me!
Andre Drummond Says He Intentionally Elbowed Teammate in Face Before for Taking His Rebounds
https://cavaliersnation.com/2020/05/...-his-rebounds/
Quote:
“I punched him in the head,” Drummond said. “He didn’t do it again. It happened more than once too. It was because of rebounds.
“He’s a rebounding player too, as a guard. He kept coming to take my rebounds, so I pulled him aside during a timeout and said, ‘Yo bro, you don’t see me trying to go for 50 every night, don’t try to come in for rebounds.’”
Bruce Brown maybe?
I guess that seems right, other than the fact that I'd hope Bruce Brown would punch him back.
I don't think of Bruce Brown, especially rookie Bruce Brown, as putting up big numbers of any sort.
My first instinct reading that was Stanley Johnson, other than the fact that he's not a guard.
And Dre should've been trying to go for 50 every night! Fucker!

Quote:
Sankofa: What was the process of coding the Pistons to win against the Bulls, where the Bulls would miss last-second shots?
Turmell: Being a Pistons fan and being cocky and moving into Chicago because the Pistons were back-to-back champions in ‘89, ‘90, they were the king of the hill and the Bad Boy era, Laimbeer, Isiah, and we had the 'Jordan Rules.' I remember telling my co-workers that when I came into town, I said ‘They’re going to run Jordan out of this town because he’s not a winner. He’s a talented player, but he can’t win.’ And that was my mantra coming into Chicago. And then, of course, the tide turned. They finally got past the Pistons and then they were unstoppable. And so in 1993, developing the game in '92, I was getting a lot of heat from the local Bulls fans inside the company and that was my outlet, was to manipulate the outcome on this game because inside the building, I’d be playing with all my buddies, and of course they were picking the Bulls and I was picking the Pistons, and so it was my way to level the playing field compared to what was happening in real life. I didn’t want to ruin the game by making that combination impossible for the Bulls to win. That wouldn’t have been right. But I made it so that they would miss their last-second shots in a close game against the Pistons. And the company fought against me, said, 'No you can’t do that.' I kept it in there and I was leading the project, so.
Fucking blasphemy

Hip-hop star J. Cole is more than welcome to tryout for the NBA squad, an invitation that was extended last week and created buzz around the Pistons, one of eight teams not playing in the Orlando bubble to determine seeding for the postseason.
The franchise’s social media channels reached out to J. Cole, who stars in a recent Puma commercial which indicates he’s working in the gym with the goal of getting an NBA tryout.
No word yet if J. Cole will accept the invitation, which was hatched when Pistons senior vice president of marketing Alicia Jeffreys noticed the item (via TMZ) that hip-hop OG Master P, who suited up for the Toronto Raptors during 1999 preseason, is taking J. Cole seriously.
And, from the email where the Pistons announced that we're drafting at #7 -- copyright 2019.

So, I guess what they're saying is that we're drafting #7 for the 2019 draft, so we got Coby?
The Pistons own Andre Drummond got an All-NBA second team vote!

Justin Patton had surgery. He might not play the 7 games next season that he was projected to, given the magnitude of his injuries.
Thon Maker was last observed playing ineffectively, but smiling. Patton's financier, Troy Weaver, was unavailable for comment.
If only the Pistons played better, they could've gone to bubble prison.
