[Motown Bombers]

As bad as the Pistons are, they still draw more fans than the best WNBA team.

Quality of play has something to do with that. A state champion high school boys basketball team probably beats the WNBA champion.

I was skeptical taking Stewart out and the Pistons paid for it there with an And 1 offensive rebound for the Nets.

Whatever you imagine as the worst possible halftime show… tonight’s was worse.

I did not understand a single word spoken.

I find the PA at LCA just too loud to hear anything distinctly. I take 20db ear plugs with me to Wings games now. Definite improvement in the experience.

That wasn’t the issue with the halftime show. They were a rap group but they were just mumbling.

[Hart]

I do think it's important to have Stewart and Duren out there together.  The question is do you put Ausar in for for Ivey to try slow down Bridges or Thomas.  Ivey really isn't helping a lot right now.  

[Deleterious]

The most effort I have seen them play with in quite a while.

To be fair, I wasn't being kind.

LOL - you start with Melody, Harmony, Rhythm and Lyric. Rap already pretty much discarded Melody and Harmony. Lose the lyric and the guys outside with sticks and 5 gallon buckets can do what's left....

[Hart]

Monty has been subbing a lot at the end of games lately.  Now Knox is in?

Man...weak foul call on Ausar there.

i went to law school with a guy who went to notre dame.  good athlete but but not a great basketball player.  his intramural team was tapped to scrimmage against notre dame's women's team - which was pretty good at the time - and they routinely routed them.  wasnt even close.

in a game built on being bigger, stronger, faster, and the ability to jump higher, men will always win.

[buddha]

when the pistons finally win, will the fans storm the court?

will gores hang a banner?

[TP_Fan]

I’m in. I laid some money in the next win at home against the rockets in January.  I’m rooting for that.

Hard to believe it’s gotten this bad. 

[Hart]

Cade doing his part.  Can they get enough stops?  

[buddha]

i feel bad for cade.  he's doing it all and its still not enough.

[Toddwert]

Johnny Kane losing his voice lol

[Deleterious]

If Cade doesn't score it or set it up, this team has very little chance to score in the 4th quarter.  

[gehringer_2]

Brooklyn took themselves out of their offense by slowing down. Can't argue with Cunningham's work though.

[Hart]

That was the best we could come out of the timeout with?

One of his best games of the year.  And of course it comes on a night when nobody else can make a shot in the 4th quarter.  Johnson, Finney-Smith, and Sharpe all made plays down the stretch for the Nets and nobody in our supporting cast did.  I agree with you for the most part.  Bogey can make shots but didn't tonight when it mattered.  

[Hart]

That was off Cade.  

[Deleterious]

Did Ivey even play the last few minutes?
