Seems weird to have Mahorn as one of the only fiveplayers on a memo for the back to back since he was only around for the back and not the back.

Remember the Motown Pistons budget is next to nothing. We aquired this photo before it was sent over seas with the championship losers shirts.

Nah, not a swipe at you, but whomever produced that.  Why not Vinnie Johnson?  Chuck Daly?  James Edwards?  Mark Aguirre?

Ugh, can't watch this one until the 9th because I live 3 hours from Charlotte. Stupid blackout rules.

What blackout rules are these?

League Pass. They consider Raleigh local to Charlotte apparently so I can't watch any games involving the Hornets - home or away - until 3 days after the game.

Find what RSN the Hornets are on.  Then find a provider that carries that channel. Most have a 7 day free trial you could sign up for. 

Tigeraholic's answer works as well.

Mahorn was a big part of the identity of The Bad Boys but I get what you're saying. I just don't think it would be the same if you put Salley, Aguirre or James Edwards with the Core 4. Maybe The Microwave but Mahorn was a huge part of that intimidation they were known for. You can't think of The Bad Boys and not think of Mahorn.

Actually, I guess it is weird to have a caption "'89 AND '90 Champions" and have a guy on the poster that wasn't on the '90 Championship team lol

Hmm, looks like Fanduel Sports Network carries it and offers a 7 day trial. I'll give that a go.

I am starting to see improvement with this team.

[Betrayer]

Stop me if you’ve heard this one. Duren goes down with an ankle injury right when the pistons look like they might be improving. 

[Betrayer]

Looks like he’s alright. Hopefully it doesn’t swell and cost him any games. 
 

Cade just getting to the hoop at will early on. 

[Betrayer]

This game really shouldn’t be tied right now. Feels like the Pistons have made a lot of dumb mistakes and took bad shots on the offensive end, throwing away possessions. 

[Deleterious]

Huge BS call on Stewart for the offensive foul

[Deleterious]

Gibson is playing 20 feet off of Holland.  That possession Cade was backing his man down on the block and Gibson basically just stood next to Cade as Holland was at the 3PT line.

[Deleterious]

Paul Reed in for Stewart.  Gotta imagine that is bad news for Duren.

Yep that’s what I was worried about, especially with his history of missing multiple weeks for each ankle injury and coming back looking like he’s afraid to test it again. 

[Betrayer]

Ivey really struggling to finish tonight. 

[Deleterious]

Refs did a nice job on that Harris offensive foul.  Hitting a guy in the face like that could be considered a flagrant foul.  But he was clearly trying to put his hand on the defenders shoulder, missed it, and it went up into his face.

[Betrayer]

Bad call. Contact by Cade was clearly before the shot. 

[Betrayer]

Pistons treating this game like they can just win it later. That’s a recipe for a loss.

And he is  making them pay.  2-2 so far from behind the line tonight.
