I haven't yet listened to the Pride of Detroit podcasters break this down yet and how this all played out. It does seem a little far-fetched that a businessman like Rod Wood would be solely making a football decision like this. If the original tweet was wrong or misrepresented the situation, then it was.

Trump endorsing Paxton is a major victory for Democrats. Paxton still might beat Talarico, because it is Texas afterall. But this is about as big a gift as Democrats could get.

I remember when we were told Rod Wood was just a businessman and was not going to be involved in football operations. If this report is true and this moron actually could have helped us avoid an early, week 6 bye week, then that's a problem. This idiot shouldn't be making football decisions and certainly shouldn't be choosing an early bye week given the major injury concerns this team has had the last two seasons.

I want the Canadians to win the Cup at this point. I would like to see a Canadian team finally break the streak and win won. Go Habs Go!

Mark Fuhrman died today. He indirectly helped a guilty man go free on OJ Simpson with his disastrous testimony.

Should Jalen Duren be packaged for a better player this offseason?

Let's go play Pistons basketball JB says in the huddle. JB, buddy, this IS Pistons basketball. Sloppy and careless with the ball at times that causes them to make bad passes and turn the ball over. A team that has no secondary scoring, that becomes one of the worst offenses in the league when Cade is having bad game and Harris is struggling to shoot. A team built for the 1980s and 1990s brand of basketball. One not built for the modern NBA game with floor spacing, 3pt shooting, and fast ball movement. A team with not nearly enough 3pt shooters, complete with forwards and bigs who can't shoot. A team with a big in Duren whose game is out of touch with today's game because no good team is playing dump it down low, backup, backup, dunk basketball with their bigs. Bigs are stepping out and shooting at minimum a pick and pop inside the pain jumper. A team with a mediocre half court offense at times, that relies too heavily on points off if turnovers. A team that can't create enough of it's own scoring opportunities and shots. JB, this is your team, THIS IS PISTONS BASKETBALL.

This team would be a 4th seed, maybe a 5th, if they were in the West it seems like.

Does Cade even look when he passes sometimes? WTF!

Laughable. This team just doesn't have the talent to make a deep playoff run. Plus, JB isn't a good tactical coach.

No one even on Harden on that rebound.

Thompson made a shot we could all make lol

And then they let Allen stroll down side open and almost answer right back with an easy bucket.

How does Trajan look at this roster from an offensive standpoint and think this is anywhere close to a championship caliber roster?

We have the worst secondary scoring of any team left in the playoffs. Who left honestly has it worse than us?

Tobias couldn't buy a bucket at Home Depot. This is our #2 scorer?

Does any team miss not more inside layups than us?

Trajan needs to realize that his team just don't have enough secondary scoring and shooting to go punch for punch with a team. Cleveland or otherwise. They need to get Cade some secondary scoring help and another 3 point shooter in the worst way. This would ideally be a wing who can help the space out the floor better too and not be a total liability on defense. They need to get him another PG that can reliably run the offense, bring the ball up the court, and not kill their ball movement too so that Cade doesn't have to do it all himself. This team relies too much on points off of turnovers and don't create enough of their own. If their defense is spot on it's great. Night's like tonight showcase what a big problem it is for them when their defense flat out sucks and their offense goes stagnant.

Now I understand why ABC/ESPN ran the promo they did showing Cavs vs. Knicks in the ECF.

The fix is in from the NBA. ESPN is ALREADY running promos for Cavs vs. Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals.

The challenge was bad, but the NBA isn't allowing the trip to be called. Even if we had the challenge thru would simply say it was incidental contact. No way does the league want a game to end on free throws.

JB didn't coach that good of a game. He put out bad rotations at times and waited too late in the game to put Reed in. Cade didn't come up clutch when we absolutely needed him to. But the fact remains, with .5 left on the clock the officials missed or refused to call a blatant trip on Jarrett Allen. That took away a scoring opportunity. That cost us the game. Just like the Lions, we're sitting here questioning an officials decision that potentially was game deciding.

This and you can't say anything else. The officials cost us this game with that. They directly stole a scoring opportunity by not calling that.

Just rotten officiating tonight. The trip on Thompson was awful. All the soft **** they called all night and a blatant trip is missed.

Terrible play by Cade.
