Deleterious

The national media sure is carrying Luka's water for MVP.

On livestream, Jaden Ivey says he had suicidal thoughts after breaking his leg Did the Pistons think Jesus had healed him? At this point it isn't even about basketball anymore. I hope he can get some help.

The Spurs tanked that year. I think most looked at how easy the schedule was and figured they would still finish 1st in the east. A try hard team like Detroit is in perfect position to overcome injuries. They win games by playing hard every night and don't rely on talent as a crutch like a lot of teams. Huge credit to JB for getting that out of his team. Some of us have questioned if that advantage goes away in the playoffs. No odd travel, no Nets/Bulls/Pelicans in 3 of their next 4 games, no fake injuries to rest, teams will all be playing hard, etc. I do think they will struggle to win a series without Cade. The good news is, it sounds like he will be back for the playoffs.

11-4 without Cade this year. The 15 opponents they played have a winning% of 44.2%. So a back of the draft lottery level opponent.

Lucky for all of the "no respect" people the NBA has a mechanism for teams to earn respect. It starts in 2 1/2 weeks.

Tiger announced he is stepping away from golf for awhile. So he will miss the Masters. Not that it matters.

So much of the Pistons offense is triggered by their defense. Much of that is triggered by Ausar.

No. Its no attempt no miss.

The Masters released a searchable shot database. It includes every shot in the final round from 1968-2025. It requires an account to be made so I didn't get to try it out. https://www.masters.com/vault/index.html

Like Buddha said, SGA gets a crazy whistle. In 64 games he has attempted 530 FT's. In 61 games Cade has attempted 310
