    The situation with Ivey is just bad. I don't think you can pay a guy whose projection is still a near total unknown. If he eventually turns into a good player with another team, that's tough luck but I don't see how the Pistons can spend significant $ on him.

    The other thing is that as far as I have ever heard, we know almost nothing about what constraints Chris I is under as Trustee of the Tigers. Does he have obligations so his siblings? Do they have any voting rights in the trust? Are there unknowns that will come into play when Marion passes? We all always assume he is a totally free agent and all the $$ of Little Ceasar's and Olympia Inc are at his disposal, but I don't think the public knows to what degree any of that is actually true or not.

    no argument on that but it's reality that every day he is still there is increasing the odds he's not going anywhere. Another factor is the U is basically shut down until almost the 2nd week in Jan so in the sense that communication across the admin system is going to be sluggish the clock may be somewhat stopped for a decision on Warde even though the football season itself is running overtime in the playoffs and an AD that is still alive needs to be in the middle of his coach search. It's sort of a mismatched situation.

    right, they already have a shooter they have to spend too much time trying to hide in Robinson. The dream route for this team to a championship was for one of the young athletic guys to develop into a shooter because it would have been pure addition by addition, but having to give up useful assets for a shooter isn't so much fun. Part of what lets the pistons play the way they do is the depth of guys who can run and disrupt so they can keep rotating in and out at high energy. Lose a couple of those guys and there may be a cost you couldn't predict so easily from the stat sheets. It's a lot harder to see how to thread the needle to improve a 22-6 team than even 44-38 one.

    it's also guys the emergence of guys who shoot >40% on threes. It's driving points per possession into uncharted territory.

    plus they get a little deeper when Kane returns.

    Talbot needed the win. He wasn't great on the second Caps goal - probably screened but if he's in better position it's still a stop. But was good otherwise.

    Either Mr Proctor or Mr Gamble.

    so...Kasper was hatched? 🙃

    I think Warde would be out there working - if they are letting him. I think the question is does he even have sanction to do anything or has he be been told to tread water until Grasso and the regents get their postmortem report from their investigators and they decide if he stays.

    IDK, McLellan can preach 'game management' all he wants, doesn't seem to work. When the wings take their foot off the offensive pedal they give up too many goals.

    JB seems to want Ivey to be a 3 & D guy but the 3's have been missing the last few of games.

    I've occasionally seen Elmer do a nice job of just surrounding rushing wingers at center ice and pinching them off. It's another thing where we'd like to see more. That's the thing with Elmer - he's shown he can do a number of things, he just has to do more of them all.

    well, here's hoping you aren't patient Alpha in the newest scourge.

    we still have no idea if the AD is staying.

    In case anyone still wonder why Dems lose elections....

    Not sure how good some of the consumer tests out there are. My son and his kid came down with the same flu at the same time, their home tests that told them they had two different flus.- Possible, but very unlikely.

    36 games in and the Atlantic conference leader is 2pt away from being out of the wildcard. NHL to Pete Rozelle "Hold my beer."

    Unfortunately enough, even Reagan isn't the GOP 'Reagan' anymore.

    It would have been interesting to see where Hillary would have governed had she been elected and how that would have changed the 'Clinton' legacy. My impression was that she was a more committed liberal than Bill ever was but talk is cheap, we don't know what she actually would have done with the office.

    yup - this years flu vaccine missed a variant that was developing in the Souther Hemisphere but which is apparently now the dominant strain everywhere. I read recently that there has been quite a bit of progress in using mRNA methods for producing flu vaccine, which would allow the vaccines to be brought to the public on a much shorter time scale, i.e., before the virus has a chance to mutate as much - but of course the chances of this CDC/FDA fast tracking that tech is probably zero.

    I'll say two things in Duren's defense: He's been durable, and he's only a month past his 22nd birthday. Well, maybe three - the year spent playing for Monty Williams was probably a waste of development time.

    Good Dad 101. A big lesson the average modern helicopter parent could work on is that best way to have your child not be fearful about things is for you not to act like they should be.

    HaHa. Those humming birds are mean little critters though. You should watch them run off interlopers near their feeders. Those Tyrannosaurus Rex genes abide.

    here is the link to the rest of it. 'https://news.gallup.com/poll/699311/economic-confidence-slips-holiday-spending-plans-plummet.aspx If you are the party in power you should be at about defcon2 about now. Jobs and the cost of living are two of the few things that even Trump can't lie his was past. Everybody shops. Everybody knows when their kids or neighbors are getting laid off. UE is up by 10% and 2.7 year over years inflation is still well above the noticeable level.
