Deleterious

Oh come on. When they show close up of the players, the court is reflecting off of their faces.

The article says his wife has already moved back to Arizona.

I wouldn't have a fit if they did that. My one complaint would be I think Harris is your starting PF in the playoffs, with Stew starting at C, or he will at least get the majority of the C minutes. I would probably just keep Harris starting since that is how the playoffs will go.

I just turned it on. What happened?

No Thomas and Brooklyn had the worst defense in the league. Starters should have a short night.

Bradley Beal is averaging 20 MPG and 7 PPG so far this season.

I think any package Detroit can put together is more likely to land a good player and not a star. Also, no way I'm making a trade with Detroit and not landing Stewart. Even if you're rebuilding, he could be flipped for more assets. He might be their best trade chip right now after Cade.

Well now

They claimed him on waivers so he will make his $1.9 million salary. I actually think that is the vet minimum for a player with 1 year experience, so he was going to make it no matter how they acquired him.

Rookie last year and only played about 300 minutes for Sacramento.

Do beat writers ever ask about the Harris injury?

Not sure if I would classify Roscommon as a metro area. I don't even think they have 1,000 people in their town.

Funny since Houston is one of the destinations mentioned for Morant.

ND probably took a hit being on ESPN. Disney channels were removed from YouTube TV last week

One of the GOAT traders is retiring. Pelosi will not seek reelection.

I think they have a championship level defense and a 1st round level offense. There are 3 or 4 team statistics to look at to correlate to winning. The Pistons do well in most of them. PIE is the first one. Detroit currently ranks 7th in PIE. Net Rating is the next big one to look at. Detroit currently ranks 7th in that as well. Shooting is the box score stat that has the greatest correlation to winning. They rank 24th in EFG%, so not so good. But they are ranked 1st in defensive EFG%. I would feel much better if they could get their EFG% up around 15th. Another problem come playoff time will be coaching. JB does a great job getting guys to buy in, play hard, and play defense. But he struggles with lineups and more importantly, with Xs and Os. Remember the last play against Chicago? Pistons inbound to Cade, zero screens, just let him try to get a 3PTA by going one on one? That is a problem in the regular season, its even more exaggerated come playoff time. Not advocating they fire JB. The man deserves another couple of shots in the playoffs for what he has built here. But I would be shocked when they start becoming a danger to make the Finals if JB is coaching this team.

I read that MNF viewership was down 21% this week.
