“Damnit, I thought I was coming to a Red Wings game?!”

I missed which contender picked up Hayes for bench depth.

Is this surprising? The Pistons suck. Not sure if you’re new here or not.

You try toting the BK medallion around with a normal neck.

You know, if you take out the 28 game losing streak......, this team still sucks.

5’9”? Under the radar move? Does he do all of the little things well?

Really? I didn't realize international cap space was part of the equation as well.

That's true as well. Its a matter of which theory one wants to subscribe to.

Tres bien.

He’s removed the targets from his cleats.

He’s kind of slow for an athlete, isn’t he?

This is the only rationale that makes sense. I can see that angle of the argument. If this is a development season, and record be damned, then play the core together as much as possible now to realize the fruits of it later on. But it’s just a tough look right now in the present. I don’t know if he’s done this in the past with younger teams or not. Hopefully it works if that’s the madness behind it. It also runs contrary to keeping playing time earlier in the season for guys like Ivey and Sasser. Perhaps don’t go so heavy on Sasser because this is his rookie season, and the transition going from 35 college games to 80 pro games can be tough. But you still want him to break that wall this season, not next season.

Just a pleasant reminder that it’s still February.

The league should throw the Piston fans a bone and suspend Williams for a couple of games on the count of his postgame comments.

Once Max starts referring to himself in the third person, we’ll know he’s legit.

That's a good point. I keep forgetting about the draft pick here.

Cunningham clearly lost his shot in the 2nd half. Grimes had picked up the scoring load in the 4th.

Cunningham is 13 for 23 beyond the arc in the last 3 games.

I think this is fair. I think the normal TV camera angle makes it difficult to see Thompson losing possession of the ball, and so the collision looks more foul than loose ball. The floor angle made it look more 50/50.

Two hands, moran.

Good question. That’s why I’d have been fine with a shorter term higher per season deal. Heck, give him the chance to opt out after one season if he wanted it.

Trending in the correct direction.

The player name font on the spring training jerseys is noticeably smaller for the Tigers, which is disappointing. I know this has been mentioned in general, but wasn’t sure if the Tigers escaped this or not. Guess not. Although maybe with enough vitriol, the regular season clothes can be salvaged. The old English D on the chest appears to be larger, but I could be wrong there. The hats just suck out loud.

Faedo lost some intimidation with the new haircut.

This game thread is in mid season form.
