OT-Pistons play again tonight Open Thread. Plus, highlights from "The Streak."
The Pistons play the Pellies tonight at 7:30. I used to know how to embed youtube videos into OPs, but I've had a few drinks tonight and can no longer work it out on my own. I'll embed "The Streak" highlight video in the first post of this thread.
The Pistons are presently only 2 games out of the playoffs, and the Nets (currently the 8th seed) are in a downward spiral. If the 'Stones keep this level of play up they could be a playoff team by the end of the week!
Form a f**king wall! Go Pistons!

It's wall time. Keep the unibrow in check and creep closer to a playoff seed.

SVG can coach his ass off.

Gores started meddling last summer, which was how we ended up with Josh Smith and Brandon Jennings. I don't put all of that on Dumars. All the previous poor drafts and free agent signings, without owner intervention, are squarely on Joe D.

it's hard to believe this is the same team I was watching earlier in the year. Poor Josh, every game the Pistons win is a reminder that he ain't got game. Someone on Sirius XM NBA station jokingly said even unemployment is down in Detroit now that he left town.
Wow, number one with a bullet are the Pistons, just flying towards a playoff berth; it's no longer if the Pistons will make the playoffs but how high they will reach. Another interesting question, are they going to go after someone before the deadline?
January 14th, 2015 at 7:48 PM ^
I didn't even think about going after a player near the trade deadline... it's been so long since we've been buyers.. that would be pretty awesome if SVG could make a good deal or two, even if there's no chance of going deep in the playoffs. Just as long as some good moves are made.
Side note, it seems like you are a big NBA/basketball fan (especially since u listen to NBA on Sirius).. I see the Jordan Morgan avatar.. do you know what he's up to currently? I know he was really smart and could find a career, but I thought I heard he was giving basketball a shot? Any update? Thanks.

I know he signed with an Italian club mid 2014, I'll have to look him up myself
January 14th, 2015 at 7:38 PM ^
gets me hype!
January 14th, 2015 at 7:56 PM ^
This team reminds me of the Pistons right around 2002. They're fun to watch, young and inexperienced. Each game they gain valuable experience to begin making some serious runs in the playoffs. Enjoy the ride!!
January 14th, 2015 at 7:59 PM ^
January 14th, 2015 at 8:03 PM ^
Not sure if that has happened before.
January 14th, 2015 at 8:07 PM ^
Not in my lifetime!

The Lions made me happy to make up for my depression from Brady's boys. And now
the Pistons are making me happy to make up for Beilein's growing pains. You can understand
why OSU fans are so fanatical (nicest word I can use). If you had decades of rooting for
the Browns, Indians, Blue Jackets, and Cavs (below 500 with LeBron the total sell out) you
would be a basket case.
January 14th, 2015 at 8:09 PM ^
or a lot less. They have to be in a good position money wise to add a star and have a solid nucleus for years to come.
January 14th, 2015 at 8:16 PM ^
No offense tonight for the Pistons.
January 14th, 2015 at 8:16 PM ^
Now that the "streak" is over, there shouldn't be any Pistons Open Threads on this board. The streak was cute, but back to reality there are about 1500 people at the game there tonight.
January 14th, 2015 at 8:24 PM ^

This isn't a Detroit Pistons board so your point is invalid. There is absolutely no reason for someone to be as big of a Pistons slappy as you on here, considering most of this blog's readership is outside of the state of Michigan and doesn't give a shit about the Pistons.

Newsflash: It's not the offseason buddy.
How is Gores treating you guys since he bought the team?

17% of the blog's readership is outside of the US. I think it's very easy to say that 33% of the blog's readers are in the US but outside the state of Michigan. I'm not here to start any fights, but I'd put a 50% chance on the toolbag named "Form a Wall" actually being an employee of the Pistons. If not, he must be a very sad and bored little individual. Theres no reason for a person to get that defensive on a site that has exactly 0% of its content devoted to the Pistons.
January 14th, 2015 at 9:06 PM ^
Nice entry into MGoBlog btw. Very impressive.
January 14th, 2015 at 9:09 PM ^
Wow, I guess things have changed about being inclusive of differing personalities and viewpoints since my fellowship at Michigan. However, I have a sneaking suspicion after reading that most people on this site didn't attend Michigan(or any college for that matter).

and learn the board rules. Posting an off topic "OT" is okay for pro sports such as the Pistons.
Posting personal attacks will get you booted, so if you don't like the Pistons, ignore this thread.
Trying to help you, with my two degrees from UM.

"My fellowship at Michigan" = My time watching Breaking Bad while completing an online program at University of Phoenix.

Wait...
Are you the actual Musharraf?

This is starting to get ulgy...
What else is on tonight?
January 14th, 2015 at 9:57 PM ^
Well this is the NBA and NHL when you have many games in few nights. Just checked 6 games in 8 nights - they are gassed. Winning 9 of the last 10 including in Dallas, San Antonio and Toronto is no fluke. Looking forward to the next game.
ps. Is Drew Sharp posting on this board?
