OT: Pistons only down 6 at the half

This could be the end of the 24 game losing streak. Let’s gooooo!!!!!!

Cade needs to go for 25 in the second half.  Beef stew starting to heat up.

Utah is playing 5 Darko's and it's still a tooth and nail.  Half their team on injury list.

Pistons seriously might not get to 8 wins this season.

I haven't watched a single live moment this year but do read the game stories. I think Cade could be as good as Dave Bing (or at least 2/3rds as good) but needs a Bob Lanier to make him way better. He played hard tonight (28 points) but this team has no inside game. 

The draft process sucks. You can't go 2 and whatever and then get a 14% of getting the next top pick. They'd have to work with the players' union but missing on the 1st pick when 2-80 (this team may end up with 5 wins if lucky) should give you at least 50% of pick 2. 

The union doesn't win if the fans for the crappy franchise check out and the revenue of the bottom teams is lousy.

What would be the harm at this point in demoting everyone and calling up the entire G-League team? The answer clearly can’t be because that would be worse. You’ve shown me your ass 25 times in a row.

Not that Wemby (San Antonio has four win) would have made huge difference, but the NBA's rules that only give the worst team a 14% chance to win #1 pick, expect sparce crowds for years to come. I actually think Cade is a good player to build around but you need a star scorer on the inside.

As bad as Utah is it was still an easy decision taking them at +2.  Depending on who they're matched up against and the spread I'll bet against them every single time. A few times they burned me but more often than not they don't.
