probably the reason we lost. channeling my inner jeiii.

and just like that, it was over. 2-27. 26 straight losses. tying the record for most consecutive losses in one season. two more losses to catch the all time record (over two seasons) of the "process" sixers.

if it makes us feel any better utah just beat toronto. of course, markannen was back and put in 30. i cant wait until be give og anunoby a max deal this offseason and then watch him pour in 14 points a game for the next 5 years.

if you read that interview with gores, you'd know that no one is getting fired. maybe they make stefanski "officially" retire to give people some idea that this is his fault, but weaver and tellum and monty arent going anywhere for the time being.

down to 10!

oh no! syracuse and wake forest wont be invited to the new league! college football is dead! lol. i dont know what's coming next. part of me is sad because the game i grew up watching is changing. the lament of an old man who doesnt like change. otoh, the game i grew up watching was based on a lie (amateurism) that exploited college kids for huge money. the new way will be like the nfl, which will be good and bad. im happy i root for a team that will definitely be invited to the new party.

only down 9 at the half!

and down 11 after 1.

is tonight the night??? they didnt start the awful two-big lineup. baby steps to competent coaching.

tom gores' interview with the beat reporters is exactly as vapid and "corporate speak" as you can imagine. the pistons are "nimble". the idea that he'd sell the team is ridiculous because the team does so much for the community. the losses are on him (and troy). the players are tremendous. monty is great.

i listened to the locked on pistons podcast today to hear a two part episode for jeiii making excuses for troy weaver (what did they expect to get for bruce brown? joe harris was a great shooter! monte morris hits 40% from 3! the front office is committed to the process.) then the next day its "there's a lot of stuff behind the scenes i cant say." which means the "voice of troy weaver" told him that its arn tellum and ed stefanski's fault and that he never wanted monty in the first place. the blame game...it has begun.

at least they won.

ummm....5-1 after 1 and end up in ot?

cade is not the problem.

now that wcf is dead, the mccaskeys are the most incompetent nepo baby owners in the nfl.

so bogey is cooked and livers sucks. the two guys we were told the team was relying on and who would have made so much of a difference if they werent hurt to start the year. they refused to trade bogey last year or in the offseason. why? so they could watch the redictable decline of a mid-30s unathletic shooter? and then doubled down by trading for broken joe harris? basketball malpractice going on here.

is troy weaver the new elgin baylor? a gm who will never be fired because the owner doesnt care about the team?

SELL THE TEAM! SELL THE TEAM!

25 straight losses. one loss away from tying the single season record. three losses away from tying the record over multiple seasons. IN THE 4TH YEAR OF A REBUILD! AFTER FOUR LOTTERY PICKS! how has the league not stepped in?

kelser: "the silver lining is they only allowed 117 when they've been giving up 130." jesus christ, greg. have you no pride left?

this is amazing. what a run of futility! do the nets bring up their gleague squad as a kind of "xmas bonus"? "we love the work youve been doing this year, as a sign of our appreciation, you get to come up for two games to beat an nba team!"* *: the pistons are technically an nba team even if they probably belong in the gleague.

i am actually very surprised theyre going to lose.

no worries there!

rinse, repeat. pistons down 7 with 7 to play! crunch time. time for cade to step up.

omg theyre down 13 points! i think every nba team is now going to seriously bust their ass to beat detroit so they wont be the one who finally loses to them. this game should be an automatic W. back to back, third in four nights. on the road. half the team out. teams best player out. and were down by 13. oy.
