  1. I've had an absolutely shitty year, especially the last couple months. CM Punk, Darby, and especially Sting made my goddamn day tonight. It's been really damn hard to smile lately, but you couldn't kick the grin off my face when they all came out. I laughed out loud and punched the air. I needed that, big time. 

    Sting was my favorite when I was 9 and 10. It is so, soooo cool to see him getting this run and knocking it out of the damn park. I hope I'm that much of a maniac at 62.

  2. Cade Cunningham is in the protocol. That he's the first Pistons player to enter is a testament to how well the team has handled Covid, but still, this really sucks. 

    It's time for the leagues to just shut down for a while.

    Doumbouya hasn't shown much so far, but he's still only 20, has a good blend of size and decent athleticism, and I've seen too many young guys the Pistons have up on early in their careers blossom into solid players or better to feel good about this.

    Same here. Thing is, it might be the best thing for Sekou. His time here has basically been kneecapped by a complete front office overhaul and Covid. He's buried on the depth chart. A full G League season would've been great for him.

    Im guessing the open roster spot is gonna go to either Luka Garza or Jamorko Pickett. 

  4. The Hawks are for real, and if they aren't, they think they are. Regardless, they aren't scared of anyone. 

    I'm really, really hoping for a Hawks/Suns final.

  5. Tears in my eyes, fellas. 

    It's partially due to the paralyzing knot in my neck that I woke up with, which kept me from jump kicking the ceiling. 

    I am in agony, but I am so damn happy. 

    I love the Detroit Pistons.

  6. That post got me thinkin': Joe Ingles pisses me off. Dude manages to do the exact thing I don't want him to do exactly when I don't want him to do it and it's really goddamn annoying.

    I was noticing this as well. I love it since you never quite know how his matches will end as a result. This is what everyone should be doing instead of relying on just one, maybe two moves and the occasional flash pin.

    On that note, I'd like to see Raquel Gonzalez use that lariat she hit Io with as another finish. It's pretty damn solid and there aren't many women using it, if any, besides her.

    The Pistons beating the Wizards by 31 sure is something 

    To hell with the record. The Pistons have been a lot of fun to watch this season. They're young and inconsistent shooters, but they're tough and they play their asses off. They've gotten wins over some top teams and even in defeat, they don't make it easy for anyone. 

    What Troy Weaver has done with this team in less than a year is pretty damn remarkable. Getting free of Blake is enough, but the dude nailed the draft on top of it. Saddiq Bey should've gone in the top ten, and there's an argument for Isiah Stewart doing the same, too. What was a puzzling free agency makes a lot more sense now, too. 

    I say that to say this: 

    I'VE WATCHED ALMOST EVERY GAME. I AM REALLY REALLY EXCITED, GUYS.

    What's basketball look like? Cause it damn sure ain't what's happening in The D.

    I've watched every game. You ain't wrong. 

    Blake is shot. Flat out. They're a better team without him on the floor. 

    There are some positives. Josh Jackson and Saddiq Bey are total steals, and Jerami Grant betting on himself is paying off. Svi is playing good defense and is rounding out offensively. When the young and new guys are on the court, they're actually fun to watch. They're still going to lose a lot, but they don't  make it easy. 

    As for D-Rose, when he's on, it's what you expect out of him, but when he's not...ehhh. When he's not holding onto the ball too long, he's turning it over. 

    Unfortunately, the kids are gonna have to force the organizations hand to make them move on from Blake and Rose.
