zach lowe had the pistons 3/4 in the east so far. behind my, cleveland, and maybe milwaukee. he also said duren is a demon on defense now, so i'm not sure how much he watches our games. am i missing something? he still looks ponderous on the perimeter and too often is nailed to the ground at the basket. i dont see them all that often, is he better? of these potential trade acquisitions, which one would you take and what would you spend to get them? zack lavine lauri markkanen anthony davis ja morant zion trey murphy (just for del) collin sexton

i'd feel a lot better about the playoffs with schroeder than jenkins. but he's playing pretty well now.

it happens a lot when you dont plat any defense and your big man cant protect the rim. no one on the team can protect the rim. no one can defend the perimeter either. they can score. that's it.
-
giddey doesnt play defense either. they gave up almost 130 points to the pistons bench.

bump.

bwaaahaahaahaaa! the bulls just lost to the g league team!

remember the year the tigers and white sox were battling down the stretch and ozzie came to detroit and took cabrera and the other venezuelan guys out drinking the night before? cabrera played like ass and the tigers lost.

counterpoint: miguel cabrera. i had a friend who owned a pretty popular bar in ferndale. tigers players would be there all the time. he told me all kinds of stories about giving guys bottles of this and that. they'd pound the whole thing and then drive home. happened all the time. young, rich, and famous = party all the time.

hilarious.

then put the case in federal court if youre worried about getting home towned.

The auto industry and its feeder industries went through a bit of a downsizing in the late 80s, early 90s. there went your tax base. remember when Suh left the Lions for the dolphins? 4.5% tax versus 0% tax is a big deal when youre making that kind of money. And youre a hockey fan, how many times in the last few years have you heard teams complain about losing free agents to low tax environments like florida or texas or vegas? tons. Detroit is not NY, Chicago, or LA where the cultural amenities, nightlife, and business opportunities outweigh tax considerations. Marginal things like taxes will hurt a destination like detroit. look, its not like detroit cant get free agents, it just has to overpay to get them or offer a championship window. Or both.

so state income taxes is a big deal for some folks.

fellas, every city in america has nice suburbs. detroit is not a nice city. its "fine." but it has crap weather, is not a party town, is not a destination, and has high taxes. no one is coming to detroit unless the franchise is close to a championship and is overpaying massively. i like the tigers being more of the rays than the dodgers. however, i do think they should have ponied up at the deadline this year and should have overpaid for bregman because they only have skubal for one more year.

oh fortuna...

it's almost like you wrote a book about this once...
-
hopefully that adds a little something to the competition. the international guys will try hard and the american players will blow it off.
-
i dont think so.
-
they needed that one. losing to wake at home would not have been good. try shooting better than 15% from 3 next time.
-
kyrie going down really killed them too.
-
Bye bye nico.
-
theyre going to need defense for their inevitable play-in loss to the heat. their only legit big man is vuc and he cant defend the paint. buzelis is soooooo skinny someone is going to bully him down low. white and giddey play zero defense. patrick williams is disinterested. they can outscore you when giddey/vuc/white are hot, but they cant stop anyone who is trying. ever.
-
after starting 5-0, the bulls have lost 4 of their last 5.
-
first you would have to find a wizards fan. second, once you found them, the wizards fan would say "the wizards LOSE that game? yeah, i can see that for sure."

i am wearing my "liberte egalite fraternite" shirt, why do you ask?
