Evaluating this team right now is genuinely difficult given the quality of competition they've been facing. Beating a squad that's handing 12 minutes to 40-year-old Taj Gibson doesn't exactly move the needle as a measuring stick. The schedule is what it is — the Pistons can't control who's injured or who's quietly packing it in for the lottery. But the pattern is hard to ignore: against good, healthy teams, they've been losing. You have to go all the way back to February 19th against the Knicks to find a truly meaningful win. The defensive numbers are slipping too, and yes, Ausar's absence is part of that story — but only part of it. Scroll back to when he was healthy and the trend was already heading in the wrong direction. With the playoffs roughly a month away, you'd expect a team with genuine aspirations to be rounding into form, playing their sharpest basketball of the season. Right now, that's not what this looks like. There's still some ground to cover before this team resembles a playoff-ready version of itself.

So the Japan race is on March 29th. Then it will skip to May 3rd for Miami and then May 24th in Canada. They are going to have one race in 2 months during the season? That is not ideal.

Blaha is really showing his age. Talking about Huerter and calling him Robinson multiple times. Then did the same thing with Sasser and Green.

I wouldn't hold your breath.

You know a guy is hated when his replacement gets praise for shooting 30% from the floor and 28% from three

Sounds like they are about to cancel Bahrain and Saudi Arabia and will go with 22 races this season.

22-3

Curious to see if the new cars improve the sprint at all. They are usually over after the first corner or two.

Celtics lost to OKC tonight and are now 4.5 games back. Their remaining schedule is much more difficult than Detroit's.

Why do we never get timelines on Pistons injuries?

The game is on Prime tonight.

Ferrari has the upside down wing in China. I guess they call it the Macarena wing, for some reason.

None of the big Philly players are playing this one.

That was more me saying oil prices will rise again.

Today marks the 500th day since Ferrari's last GP win. It was Sainz in Mexico.

Next month could be interesting. You can't move a single good in this country without using gas/diesel. Oil prices are one of the biggest drivers of inflation.

25th right now with 40 wins. There are about 6 teams all in that 39-40 win range. Minnesota could fall anywhere in there between 22 and all 27.

The best part about being a terrible golfer. 36 holes over two days, and I'm already in mid-season form.

Celtics lost tonight. I think they are the only team with a legit shot at catching Detroit. But they have a pretty difficult schedule to end the season. I think if Detroit plays .500 basketball the last 18 or so games, Cleveland and NYK would have to win about 90% of their remaining games to catch the Pistons.
