if the pistons moved to seattle tomorrow the league wouldnt care. i think the league sees one of their franchises struggling and it would like it not to struggle, but other than that theyre not going to step in and do anything. the leader of the franchise told a paying customer he was going to kick his ass and the league did nothing. and gores spends money, he just doesnt know what he's doing and places people in charge that dont know either. do the pistons own part of LCA? if not, i could see them move. but if they put a lot of money into a new practice facility they probably arent going anywhere.

but i thought he was "listening"? lol.

the sad part is, if larkin doesnt get hurt the wings are probably challenging the leafs for 3rd.

edvinsson played well.

keith dambrot was the coach at central michigan when i was there. he was fired for using a racial slur in the locker room.

one good year in college...and dominating on the international scene. when cossa was augustine's age he couldnt even break into the lineup on the international game.

all respect to dylan larkin, the straw that stirs this team's drink.

augustine is 3 years younger than cossa and is "ranked" one spot below him in those rankings. i expect augustine to rise quickly.

it would with me and the sensible part of the population.

quit smoking this early.

i am really looking forward to the entire front office getting contract extensions after this year.

a-s-t-h-m-a is an interesting way to spell "blood clot."

that picture reminds me of how i miss david stern as commissioner. didnt put up with any ****.

danielson will be ready soon.

patrick kane continues to save this team.

another win that shows how bad this team is without Larkin. theyre playing a horrible team, at home, and they barely win. hey, a win is a win. but this is just another example of how this team is defying the numbers and - honestly - getting lucky. it helps that everyone else at the bottom of the east sucks too.

boo them off the ice.

dumb move.

celtics B team destroys pistons b team.

the bears didnt want him around when they bring in a new qb. that would lead to a divided dressing room and potentially create factions. better to just start with a clean slate. also, justin fields isnt very good. they had a bears reporter on the radio this morning and asked him why fields went for such a low draft pick. why does the league view him as worth only a 6th round pick? "because they looked at the tape." how many open guys do you have to miss? how many sacks do you get because you hold the ball too long? why do you never throw people open? why duck and run constantly? because you cant read a defense. that's why. every athletic qb is not going to turn into lamar jackson.

"andre drummond disease" is ignoring your talents and trying to be something youre not. not focusing on improving your game and ignoring the fundamentals because you think youre better than you are. and being lazy. i dont watch enough pistons to know, but when i see duren turning the ball over a lot, and taking stupid running shots and ignoring open guys, i see the early warning signs of Andre Drummond Disease. same with being lazy on defense. he's obviously not as lazy as andre when it comes to nutrition and the weight room, so there is that. somebody needs to get ben wallace to sit down with these guys. they would give ben one shot early in the game to get him involved and then he would go back to rebounds and defense. duren could be the same way if he wanted to emulate that player instead of trying to be lebron james.

he's still very young. otoh, so are most rookies and they get better. its one of the pitfalls of taking 19 year old kids instead of college juniors or seniors. but its not like the pistons are the only organization with these issues.

the underlying numbers said they werent as good as their record most of the season. judging from what yzerman did - and didnt - do at the trade deadline, he must feel the same way. if larkin comes back they still have a good shot at making it, mostly because the competition isnt very good either.

duncan robinson having a quality nba career is still weird to me.
