does that mean the pistons have a team option for NEXT year?

sam darnold is the only reason the pats are in this game.

ha! good job, bad bunny. rub it in his orange face.

waiting for collinsworth to tell me those horrible throws by darnold are actually good plays.

dont really care about the super bowl, although the pats' easy schedule is offensive so i hope seattle wins.

he did it against illinois too, totally stopped short and intentionally tripped an illinois player who was running the other way. illinois coach was pissed. he's a dirty player and izzo does his usual hand wringing bull**** but plays the kid anyway because izzo is as big of a hypocrite as any college coach in america.

Another thought, all these rule changes and tweaks have just made tanking worse. if a team could tank and get a superstar, they would get better and gradually rise in the standings. but when you tweak the lottery and the worst teams keep getting screwed (like the pistons did), they keep being mired in that desperate attempt to get a superstar player. ultimately, as long as there is a draft and no relegation there will be tanking.

relegation would stop it, but we dont do that here. you could take away ping pong balls if you lose x amount of games. dropping protections might help on the margins, mandate that you can only protect top 2 or something like that. but that will hinder trades and no one wants that to happen. the ultimate reason is the draft, you get rewarded for losing. and the draft has become so ingrained in sporting culture here that it isnt going anywhere. i thought the play-in tournament was supposed to be a temporary covid year thing and now they've made it permanent.

only way you stop it is to get rid of the draft or completely randomize it.

"hurt"

neither did KAT or Og Anonoby. the pistons whupped them, but the knicks were shorthanded. fun game to watch.

what's the pistons' rotation in the playoffs? who sits?

he is totally dominating the knicks bench in a 30 point game. 😉 but seriously, he looks good tonight for sure.

knicks also without half their starting lineup.

where's huerter?
