27 points and 15 assists and zero turnovers for Haliburton tonight. He should be in the MVP race if this keeps up.

Cade would never drive if he stopped driving into 2-3 defenders. The question is. Why are opposing teams able to keep an extra defender or two in the paint area without being punished.

Their schedule till the end of the year. Where does the win come from? They better win one of the four against Atlanta, Utah, and Brooklyn. 22 Fri, Dec 8, 2023 7:00p @ Orlando Magic 23 Mon, Dec 11, 2023 7:00p Indiana Pacers 24 Wed, Dec 13, 2023 7:00p Philadelphia 76ers 25 Fri, Dec 15, 2023 7:00p @ Philadelphia 76ers 26 Sat, Dec 16, 2023 6:00p @ Milwaukee Bucks 27 Mon, Dec 18, 2023 7:30p @ Atlanta Hawks 28 Thu, Dec 21, 2023 7:00p Utah Jazz 29 Sat, Dec 23, 2023 7:30p @ Brooklyn Nets 30 Tue, Dec 26, 2023 7:00p Brooklyn Nets 31 Thu, Dec 28, 2023 7:30p @ Boston Celtics 32 Sat, Dec 30, 2023 6:00p Toronto Raptors

Here is my thing with Weaver. I think he has drafted half way decent. Cade and Ivey have talent. I hate the position he plays, but Duren has talent and it was a nice move to land him. Even if he never gets a jump shot, Thompson will contribute just based on his elite defense/rebounding. Weaver has done a terrible job at filling in the roster with free agency and trades. Bojan was a decent move, but he even has some big flaws. But lets just concede him being a nice move. Name another player on this roster who contributes that Weaver brought in via trade or free agency. I realize Stewart could technically be called a trade. But IMO if you trade for a guy before he plays his first NBA game, you drafted him.

I feel bad for the kids. I was in middle/high school when the Bad Boys won. Nothing better than going into school the day after a big playoff win and talking about it with your buddies at school. A few months after getting my drivers license, my first big driving adventure was taking my friends down to The Palace for the ceremony after one of the parades. A high school kid today has never seen the Pistons win a title. But wait, there's more! For 3 easy payments of $29.99 you can also get 0 playoff series wins in their lifetime. And for a limited time we will throw in at no extra charge...0 playoff game won! No wonder people watch soccer.

Amen Thompson had a triple double in his G-League debut. He was sent down because he is about to come back from an injury. I read somewhere the other day that 13 of this years 1st round picks have done some G-League time. Amen makes 14 and that is a pretty high number. Teams have always been reluctant to send 1st round picks, or any rookies on the roster, down to the G-League. Glad to see it changing.

Wow. I forgot it was rumored Weaver did not want Williams. That could get interesting.

Dude had a triple double in the 1st half tonight. Pretty sure it is in the FCC bylaws you can drop F-Bombs if you get a TD in the first half.

The tweet Sam was replying to.

The only thing worse than trading for Lavine would be trading for an injured Lavine.

The thing I keep coming back to. The one that just kicks me in the balls. This is year 4 of the rebuild. This is the year they were going to push for wins. And they are just a terrible team. All the other teams we compare them to were not in year 4. Those were mostly teams at the beginning of their rebuild. Not us!

No clue. But those are two groups of people I would want to keep in my good graces. I would go overboard.

One of my favorite lines fits this team The Pistons are four players away from being four players away.

They might have to improve quite a bit just to blow. Considering they were trying to win, this is one of the worst teams constructed in the history of the league.

Two good teams might produce the worst bowl game of the year. Neither one wants to be there.

I hope they are on the horn trying to trade that pick the second they are named #1.

Buddha has a good point. How do you judge it? On tradition, USC and ND are huge and without a doubt top 10. I just don't think many people care about them in 2023 and neither team will produce TV ratings like some of those other teams.

I hate her with a passion for some reason and she was not funny to me at all. But I recognize her importance in TV. I just think Desi gets the shaft since a lot of what is credited to her was done by him.

Texas night be #1. Top 3 for sure. USC wouldn't make the top 10 IMO.

Nevermind. Missed where you said comedy. Larry David would be my pick for that probably. BTW. I Love Lucy has to be one of the worst TV shows ever. Never understood how that was popular.

Aaron Spelling probably has to be on that list.
