    did monty actually double team tatum and make him pass? wow. baby steps.
  5. buddha
    cade needs to take over this quarter. dont even pass.
  6. buddha
    is monty trying to get fired? he didnt want the job but took it for the ridiculus money gores threw at him. maybe he wants a buyout?

    if there is one good thing from this streak its that cade finally realizes he has to be the man. all the time. none of this deferring to your teammates **** when your teammates suck. go out and win.

    both jalen brown and jason tatum listed as questionable for this game. is THIS the day? can they end the losing streak against the best team in the east? against the old rival?

    they have a below 500 winning percentage as a franchise. i think we remember the "going to work" pistons because we are pistons fans but not many others do. the title over the lakers is seen as a fluke before you give way to the spurs, wade and lebron. that team is remembered nationally for the malice in the palace and little else. they had a couple good teams in the 70s with lanier and bing, but never made the finals or even really got close. prior to lanier they were god awful except for george yardley. following bing they were horrific up through isiah. they have one iconic player: isiah thomas (who is probably overrated) and one iconic team (the bad boys because they were the team that jordan had to "overcome" to be great). we'll just agree to disagree. but a good discussion! 🙂

    the pistons have been around for 76 years. in that time they've made 42 playoffs, made it to the finals 5 times, and won 3. with a .473 winning percentage. the rockets have been around for 57 years, have been to the playoffs 34 times, made the finals 4 times and won 2 championships. with a .515 winning percentage. the sixers have been around for 75 years, made it to the finals 5 times, and won 3 championships. with a .522 winning percentage. the bucks have been around for 56 years, made it to the finals 3 times, and won 2 championships. with a winning percentage of .528. i'd say those teams are historically just as good or better than detroit.

    are they more "storied" than the houston rockets? philadelphia 76ers? or milwaukee bucks?
  16. buddha
    JEIII could go one step further and say they were a "storied" franchise until they were bought by Tom Gores. but then his sources would dry up.

    what does "its only suiting" mean?
  18. buddha
    i agree, but when they write about them, its in language that theyre "storied" because they've been so sucessful. for example: "Detroit has three NBA championships. Only five franchises have hoisted the Larry O’Brien trophy more. The Pistons won their three titles over three decades, starting in the late 1980s before briefly falling off and then coming back in the early 2000s to do it again. All different players from the first go-round. A whole new mantra and vibe. The true signs of a healthy organization. Do it, come back and do it again. Detroit also has five Eastern Conference titles. Only three rivals (Boston Celtics, Chicago Bulls, Miami Heat) have more." the "titles in three decades" thing is misleading. they won back to back in 89-90 and then were utter garbage for most of the rest of the 90s. the pistons were a dominant team for 5 years in 80s and 5 years in the 00s. other than that they've been mostly bad with some seasons of mediocre filtered in.

    the tigers are storied because they've been around for a long time and have had a lot of great players. the pistons have been around for a long time and have had how many great players? one? they have one iconic team: the bad boys. the "going to work pistons" were not an iconic team, imo. the pistons have been in the league for 76 seasons. of the teams that have been around that long, only the kings are knicks have less division championships and playoff appearances. only the kings and hawks have a lower winning percentage.

    the red wings are a storied franchise. michigan football is a storied franchise. the tigers are a storied franchise. the pistons? nyah. the lions definitely not. unless by "storied" you just mean old.
  21. buddha
    i keep seeing local writers referring to the pistons as "one of the most storied franchises in the nba." are they? i dont think of them that way. they've had two periods of success in 76 seasons. that's just a normal amount of success for a franchise that's been in the league for that long. lakers, celtics....maybe the bulls because of jordan and spurs because of lottery luck. the warriors because of their recent run. the pistons are also rans for a vast majority of their existence.

    quick! let's give up the farm for 1/3 of a season of og anunoby! lol.
  23. buddha
    and they have a weird rivalry with detroit thanks to jalen greene being an ass. so they'll probably try to put it on us. and dillon brooks - also an ass - is on that team.

    how each qb has played against the top defenses in point per drive this year:
  25. buddha
    that's the big problem(s). the obvious solution is to fire the coach. he's been terrible and he isnt getting anything out of his players. in any normal instance, he would be fired. but gores isnt going to eat $80 million and monty isnt going to walk away from that (yet). so were stuck. the other problem is that they have no assets. none. not only do they not have any extra first round picks, they OWE a first round pick to the knicks for the isaiah stewart trade. weaver's tenure has been a disaster. the only thing he's done right is take cade #1. thats it.
