Bucks could take Reggie off their hands for a real late round draft pick and a pastie.

OPA!

I think they’ll get better in a year or so.

Remains to be seen obviously but for all the teams that have tanked over the years it’s never actually played itself out that way.

7th seed and they have Simmons and Embiid. I don’t get the fascination with it but the media has played them up and it’s the basic white girl starbucks answer for anything nba. No offense wags. I like the Bucks more than the sixers.

None taken. I admit I’m just an nba headline reader. I have no real depth here.

Bucks should tank it’s the only way

by Guest 2018-03-01, 16:02

Who knew? Eric Moreland is the key to the season.

Pistons will correct ‘mistake’ by playing Eric Moreland more

Auburn Hills — In the wake of the Pistons’ bench putting up 63 points Wednesday night in Detroit’s 110-87 trouncing of the Bucks, Stan Van Gundy admitted he made an error in evaluating his rotation when he went away from Eric Moreland for the better part of a month and a half.

The Pistons are 6-9 since Blake Griffin debuted with the team.

All of their wins have come against teams playing on the second night of a back to back.

Pistons host the Raptors tomorrow (Raptors at home vs Hawks tonight).

Mods, please move to gambling locks. (Not touching the pistons, have been betting against them for weeks)

by Guest 2018-03-07, 07:53

His solution?

Move Drummond & Jackson and build around Blake....might be the only path since the BG contract is close to unmoveable.

Don’t ever hire somebody as coach and GM. Ever.

Look at your franchise. If you have one guy doing both jobs fire him immediately. Never do it again. Ever.

Step one.

OK. If you can get him hire him. I get that there are the exceptions to everything but I’m not sure having SVG as both is really working out. Maybe it is. Who knows.

Worse yet, Toronto fans took over the LCA. The Let's Go Raptors! chants were loud.

Usually when you lose your own fans and the oppositions fans take over a building, it means the end for the Coach.

How ever shitty the Pistons season ends, I gotta give credit to Griffin for being better than I thought he was. Really improved since coming into the league.

Pistons get poleaxed by Utah......110-79 and it wasn't that close.

by **kingstonlake** 2018-03-13, 23:41

Nice stat line for Griffin. 13pts 3 Reb 3 TO 1 PF

I sure hope Gores enjoys his $30 million a year jock sniffing hobby. Cause Griffin is stealing that money.

Of course we're trying to contend and the Lakers are trying to tank.

Yo, the #Lakers (31-37) are a half-game better than the #Pistons in the standings. I didn't realize it was to this degree.

It's not the coaching.
It's not the terrible FA signings.
It's not the craptastic draft picks.
It's not the stupid trades.
It's not the shitty play.

It's the refs. Glad SVG has solved the problem.

Detroit Pistons deny interest in Chauncey Billups-Arn Tellem front office

by Guest 2018-03-21, 09:43

Perhaps OTPT and Travis remember this post?

https://spartanswill.forumotion.com/t16816p120-deee-troit-baasketbaallll-2017-2018-thread#482057

I would have supported Laimbeer 2-3 coaching changes ago. Not now. Why not Chauncey? People that know NBA front offices would have better ideas than I do. Much like Harbaugh SVG has a big reputation but his Championships won tally is a goose egg.

SVG has failed on this rebuild. We're a mediocre team that's up against the hard cap. The whole build around Reggie and Andre thing has been flawed from the start. That's a team that might squeak into the playoffs but that's the ceiling. Why bother?

I was roundly ridiculed for that suggestion....now it's a rumor all over the NBA. People read this board.

by **Travis of the Cosmos** 2018-03-29, 21:15

That, if it’s what I think it meant, was hilariously stupid. I was terrified a month or two ago that SVG would rush Reggie back to kinda save things only to kill Reggie off for good. Now that he didn’t come back too soon he’s selfish? Hilariously stupid take.

They’ve won 3 straight and have a favorable schedule. Like i said, so fucking pistons.
