Pistons' game 7 at 3:30. Tigers' game at 7:20. That probably works out well enough for traffic inflows and outflows? Maybe not? Whatever. Works well for my TVing. There's only one way to start this game out, right? Absolute full throttle defense leading to offense? It'd be tough to replicate that 2nd half. But if they can bring that defensive chaos back to start the game and take away the resolve from Orlando.

I thought it was cash.

You really want to try to get into my head?

I hate the current orange bill one. If they want an alternate lid to go with the alternate shirts, bring back this one: That orange D with the white outline on the navy body with the navy lid is dope.

I still hate that trade.

I failed in my viewing this last night. I didn't tune in until the start of the 4th quarter in real time and accidently chose "live" rather than "from the beginning". So, I only got part of the emotion of the game. That 4ht quarter was bonkers by itself. But for fans that watched the entirety of it, didn't give up at 20 down and stuck with the game, I cannot imagine the rush of watching that comeback live. That's why you stick through with your team. That probably happens once every..... well, heck, it never happens. Until it does. So, what I saw was that they struggled for a bit getting over that 4-6 point deficit for a bit. I just kind of wonder to myself, had the original difference been only, oh I don't know, say 10 points, does Orlando still have the energy level to finish the game off with a win? Losing a 20 point lead is so much more demoralizing than 10. Surely that fed into their failure to score in the 4th. It had to have.

Might as well win this one for the viewership on the national scale.

Elmn or Dmitiri?

But he's no Zach Short.

Might as well kick off May with a win.

Maybe they have played their best games and they just so happen to have been regular season games? Maybe they simply punched above their weight enough that they stumbled into a top conference seed? Nobody had them in this position before the season started.

Same. I'd probably play Carpenter everyday, too, and just move him up/down vs RHSPs/LHSPs.

It'll have to be someone that can play SS. Can't expect McGonigle to play everyday until McKinstry/Baez come back.

Cruz is on the injured list.

Maybe you. I plan on kicking ass.

This confused me. And then I found out Preston Mattingly is the GM and Don Mattingly was promoted from bench coach to manager.

Has a manager been fired in season and then hired to be manager elsewhere in the same season?

Where is the Hinch to Philadelphia thread?

Well, if they could sweep the end of this series, I think we could look past your prediction.

Where are his socks?!

Seems silly to me. It’s still only April. They rolled off, what, half of their coaching staff? And then reverberations to the minor leagues because managers/coaches down there were part of the domino effect. Maybe I’m wrong, but unless the team needed a change in culture, it just seems like a desperate move(s).
