2017-18 Eastern Conference #7 seed

DETROIT PISTONS


Cool shirt. Not as good as those division titles shirts though.

I know Detroit has fallen hard, but I didn't know they'd celebrate a 7-3 start by making shirts. Sad.

I assume they only have to print out about 100 shirts, since that is more/less the amount of people that show up to their brand new arena.

Well to be fair to Detroit, there's only about 200 people living in the city now. So 50% attendance isn't bad.

Eric Bledsoe traded to the Bucks.

Sigh..

Cavs had nothing to trade for him sadly. Man wish I could go back in time and get that deal with PHX Cryrie for PG and Bledsoe done.

Yeah, pissed that felt through.

Kyrie is of course killing it in Boston and they have the best record in the NBA.

Could have written that headline in Sept SMFH. Just goes to show, you always always lose when you trade a HOF player. His Defensive numbers are what pisses me off the most.

I haven't seen the return, assuming it's just picks.

I don't think anyone besides Kyrie can really make a whole lot of sense in wanting out... but damn.

Bucks also offloaded Greg Monroe's contract. Protected 1st and 2nd round picks. Not a lot of compensation depending on protections for a guy who is a pretty good player. I also dont think it's a coincidence that he was traded on the day he was supposed to report to the facility.

God damn Porzingis and the Knicks are killing it. Wtf was Phil ever thinking wanting to trade him?

Who would have thought the Knicks - Magic game Wednesday night would potentially be a good game worth watching??

They are 6-4 and have one win against a winning team.

I give most of the credit to Coach Stevens. Wish he were coaching the Cavs.

Doesn't bother me one bit, either. I want the kid to crash and burn, and be a flop. And it's sad, really... b/c I only want that for him b/c of his douche bag dad.

Would love to have him coaching the Cavs. Doubt they'd have the same record.
