The Jazzes chose to not play defense as well. In fact, this was the highest scoring total for the Pistons in Salt Lake City in the history of ever.

I thought hugging would’ve slowed down after COVID, but I guess I was wrong.

I’ll never look at Zenobia Shriners in the little cars in a parade the same way going forward.

Oh mon dieu…

The problem for the Pistons is that they can’t not turn the ball over. Then the next problem, if they haven’t turned the ball over, is the shooting. Seems a bad combo when the defense sucks, too.

At one point, BSD showed a graphic about points off of turnovers, Rockets 27 and Pistons 5. So, I guess ball control isn’t a resolution for 2024.

It’s feasible to see another losing streak developing on this road trip. Looking at 0-4 before returning home (unless the NBA gives away another home game) vs the Kings, Spurs, then Rockets. Heck, looking at January, they have the Spurs, Wizards, and Hornets at home which are likely they’re most winnable games. That’s not to assume that they will win any of those. So, I think it will be interesting to see if Sasser and Thompson get some more run tonight now that they’ve gotten that win. No doubt that’s why Sasser lost minutes, although I disagree with the rationale.

The Tigers should sue the scout.

I don’t know. What was Del’s Piston prediction for this season?

That’d be addition by subtraction.

I doubt there’s one magic solution. But, I think changing the window along with the playoffs will help keep players on the field. Have we seen a healthy junior that’s draft ready sit out a conference championship yet? I can’t think of who, but perhaps it’s happened.

USC and UCLA not following the script. They’ll learn in due time.

One easy fix is changing the transfer portal window until after the bowls/playoffs. But I think that should also apply to coaches.

Casper Wells.

Ok, boomers.

Yes about his shooting. But he is in his 4th season and he still has his moments on the floor where you wonder what in the world he was thinking about. For example, there are times when he wants to show off the handles that he ain't got.

Well, let's consider that Cunningham was out for basically all of Ivey's season and then Williams has goofy lineups and playing time allocations earlier this season. So, it easy to see how it might have taken a while for them to gel on the court. Ivey's quickness and speed can be a heck of an asset, but I think he needs to learn to reign it in more. Those assets could serve well in college where the opposition is slower than the pros. But he's now up against better opposition, better athletes. Using that athleticism as a basketball player, being more of a basketball player than an athlete. I think he's been getting better at it lately, but there are still times where he gets a little out of control.

You're welcome. Thankfully I was able to watch it this morning without knowing what happened.

Can’t put it any better than this. Hopefully he’s on the radar within the context of a contractual terms that you have suggested. The short term expense isn’t a big deal and a short term deal is hardly blocking anyone that with only 209 PAs at AA if we’re looking at only one prospect. Put another way, does anyone want to place any numerical value on the odds of both Keith and Jung firing on enough of all cylinders in MLB this season?

I was just wondering this. Guaranteed victory tonight because I won’t be able to watch it and someone will tell me about it before I can watch the recording.

The OSU defense did well until the 2 TD drives. Can’t complain about them. OSU literally had Brown out there limping as a WR while they wildcatted. The kid needed his ankle looked at, and they kept him in the game. Now, if he wanted in the game, that’s one thing. But he’s pretty much on one leg, Mizzou knows who is going to get the ball in those circumstances. What’s the point of having Brown out there? That’s not the toughness that Day ranted about. That’s malfeasance as a football coach.

Welcome to the club, blankity blank blank. 😆

I don’t know. This game was an absolute embarrassment. This is a coach that preached toughness after the Notre Dame game, but cowered last night because they had a backup quarterback in the game. He really thought they could ride Henderson’s legs to victory for over a half of football? Meanwhile, Henderson’s two backups are sitting off on the sideline injured and in the transfer portal. Oh, and Henderson has shown a proclivity to get dinged up in the past. Speaking of transfer portal, Day has no plans to go get a QB. He wants to have competition this spring. Hey, that’s great. One of the QBs was injured last night, and the other, well, I guess they didn’t trust him to throw a football until Mizzou had 15 in the box to stop Henderson. Or, in other words, Kienholz, who had gotten a few game reps earlier this season, hadn’t been coached for this game. But why not? Why not start the competition in the practices leading up to this game? Sure didn’t look like the coaching staff was ready to do anything with him. Simply terrible and inexcusable. Heck, they had Brown out there on one leg for a few plays as a decoy at the numbers while they tried wildcat? What in the flippity flip was that? Were they getting Kienholz out of the stands and dressed for the game? And that log goes onto the fire of the 3 game losing streak.

False. It’s his 2nd string QB for a month that was obviously not prepared at all to take any snaps. And the offensive line didn’t do anyone any favors, either. Bad combination, no excuse for any of it.

I agree 3B is the opportunity. But I’m not sure more than 3 seasons for Chapman is wise.
