Must be in financial trouble. Now we are fucked by having a poor owner.

good news, about time they get into advanced statistics
I'd prefer basic statistics, like wins. :)

Why Would Tom Gores Sell the Pistons?
http://detroitsportsrag.net/why-woul...l-the-pistons/
tl;dr all of it, but why would Gore's peeps give a shit if there was a blog posted like that...unless its the truth.
I haven't thought that through yet, but that was my first reaction to response from Gorepeeps.

Note that there's more going on here than just the Pistons -- the "entertainment" side of PS&E is pretty big, too.
And of course, there's other crap going on in the Platinum empire...
One other thing to consider is that the Davidsons stll own a piece of PS&E and are in the midst of huge IRS troubles.
Also, moss is clearly insane, would not be shocked if he just made it up....or someone else emailed it to him just to fuck with him....
Just got some Turtle Wax, you guys.
I just hope Gores has a better succession plan than Davidson did.
I'm glad Gore bought the team...I guess. I just don't think dude has a fuckin ounce of basketball sense. Not sure why I think that, but I do. Would love for someone to step up and buy the team who I like if it is for sale.

What does Bill Davidson owe you? All together now...
Gores will be getting out soon.

Chassix files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in New York court
The Southfield auto-parts maker, owned by billionaire Detroit Pistons owner Tom Gores' Platinum Equity LLC, had raised concerns within the automotive supply chain recently for missed bond payments and lawsuits against underpaid vendors.
Should stick to car washes, not parts.
BE IMPACTFUL

Getting sick of these self-congratulatory commercials and promos featuring Gores. I shouldn't care who owns the team, he's not the one on the court playing. "Guy with slicked-back hair at a press conference" is not a compelling promotion.
Never forget

This "Todd Shields" hit piece, such FAKE NEWS. Sad!

Frankly, I assumed that the bullshit prices for prisoner phone calls were kickbacks to the prisons themselves.
I didn't think the telcos themselves actually made that much money on it.
Anyone got any tips for washing my 'vette?
Step one, shave head.Quote:

Maybe Ladanian Tomlinson can wash his car.
WHEN YALL GONNA GIVE THE MAN HIS DUE?
When we win a playoff series, when we keep winning. Keep in mind that the it took venerated Bill Davidson over 10 years to get two consecutive winning seasons. If Gores puts together 3 championship teams, I'm sure he'll get his due hang up in the rafters with Mr. D.Quote:
