Gotta admit, I'm rooting for them, too. The Pistons simply aren't going anywhere this year.
@#$% you Joe Dumars!

The Fuck Dumars posts are always funny to me. If you're rooting for the Jazz, then you're really not a big Pistons fan, so why do you really care about Dumars?
January 17th, 2014 at 7:07 PM ^
One could have BEEN a big Pistons fan but is now thoroughly fed up with the Pistons franchise and the moronic personnel decisions made over the past 5+ years. I used to be a diehard Pistons fan. Tonight? i hope they lose 200-0. It's not like they are going anywhere this season, so losing will just help whoever is drafting next year anyway.
January 17th, 2014 at 7:07 PM ^
If you stopped liking them because they started losing, you were never a diehard fan.
January 17th, 2014 at 9:09 PM ^
Die Hard does not equal Die Never. No team has my allegiance so much that I could never fire their asses. Not saying that i was ever a huge Pistons fan, but unconditional love does not apply to sports teams.

So you're a bandwagon fan?
January 17th, 2014 at 8:32 PM ^
January 17th, 2014 at 8:46 PM ^
That's pretty much when I packed it in too. I figured if they didn't care about winning, then why should I?
January 18th, 2014 at 4:11 AM ^
I was done once they traded Chauncy for AI, then the team was dead to me when they picked KCP over trey
January 17th, 2014 at 7:17 PM ^
You weren't a diehard. A diehard means you'll, you know, die rooting and following the team. Which you obviously aren't. You just liked them because they were winning and once you felt that they weren't going to have much a chance for the forseeable future, you dropped them. So why care about Dumars now?
January 17th, 2014 at 7:23 PM ^
fuck you telling me what kind of fan I am. I don't have to get my fan card from you. I've been supporting the Pistons for decades, long before they won even their first title.
I'll support them again when they stop insulting us with what they are putting out on the floor.
January 17th, 2014 at 7:26 PM ^
lol
Not telling you who you are a fan of. Just pointing out there's not alot of logic to your rantings
January 17th, 2014 at 7:39 PM ^
Dumars has lost any ability to make good moves and needs to be fired.
Anything that embarasses Dumars and hastens his firing is therefore a good thing.
Burke + Jazz embarassing the Pistons tonight most likely hastens Dumars firing and is therefore a good thing. It has the added benefit of adding another loss towards a better draft pick in this wasted season as well.
If I thought this team had any ability to be competitive I would root for them. They don't, so I don't. The team is terrible, and the best case scenario is a bad finish that gets them a better pick for the future and hopefully new management to use that pick.
Pretty simple logic.
Unfortunately the East is so filled with terrible teams that being worse that the rest of the crap in the East is tough.
January 17th, 2014 at 7:42 PM ^
diehard fan - someone who follows and roots for the team to the bitter end, whether it be the highest of highs or the lowest of lows
Your posts do not support your ealier statement of being a diehard Pistons fan. In fact, it's a contradiction to say in the same sentence "I used to be a diehard Pistons fan." That doesn't even make sense.
Being terrible doesn't guarantee you becoming a better team in the future. The lottery is filled with teams that have been perennial losers. Joe D's tenure will take care of itself. Chances are, even if he is fired, whoever we replace him with won't be the one to lead us to an NBA title so it makes little sense to root for the team to lose.
January 17th, 2014 at 8:44 PM ^
Ok Mr. fan judge. Apparently you know much better than I just how much of a fan of the PIstons I have been throughout my life.
Oh yeah, and if I failed to mention it before, fuck you. Of I didn't fail to mention it before? Oh well, in that case fuck you again then.
January 17th, 2014 at 8:52 PM ^
That's fine as you saying "fuck you" has no bearing on me whatsoever. What purpose does that really serve over the internet? But I suppose that's probably your "go to" when you get called out for illogical statements. Nice chatting with you.

I've always found the idea that one is a bandwagon fan if they don't suffer through a team's bullshit to the degree to which other fans expect to be ridiculous. I'm a Lions fan, for example. I always have been and I always will be. I'll also probably be laughing at Lions fans like you all the way to my grave. Call it acceptance, if you will. Or bandwagoning. Who knows.
January 18th, 2014 at 1:51 PM ^
Monroe and Drummond clearly suck.
January 17th, 2014 at 7:06 PM ^
Where did I say I was rooting for the Jazz? I'm not really a Pistons fan either though, I just want to see Burke do well.
January 17th, 2014 at 7:18 PM ^
I missed where you said fuck Dumars
January 17th, 2014 at 7:43 PM ^
Will I do? @#$% you Joe Dumars.
January 17th, 2014 at 7:54 PM ^
You know you're allowed to swear on the Internet right? I promise your Mom won't read it
January 17th, 2014 at 9:20 PM ^
I said fire Dumars. And I'm sure I'll say it again.
January 17th, 2014 at 7:28 PM ^
I'm cheering against the Pistons because they won't be able to move forward until Dumars is fired.
It's "suck for Luck" to the max.
January 17th, 2014 at 7:37 PM ^
Joe D's tenure will take care of itself. I don't expect him to be GM much longer, but if he is, it means the Pistons have been making the playoffs. Gotta get lucky to be good in the NBA these days unless your'e the Spurs.
January 17th, 2014 at 7:47 PM ^
January 17th, 2014 at 7:09 PM ^
Then Dumars gets fired right after the game.
