OT: Pistons lose to Nets --- do we even care?
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/nba/gameflash/2010/03/26/27…
Sad.
Just sad. And bad.
It would make me mad if I cared.
Thank the sport's Gods for all things Hockey in 2010

MOAR BALLS!
That's why we care.
March 26th, 2010 at 11:08 PM ^
I could care less about the NBA.
March 26th, 2010 at 11:09 PM ^
Wasn't there a big fight about that phrase yesterday?
I am not interested in the NBA either.
March 26th, 2010 at 11:12 PM ^
Is that what he was trying to say?
March 26th, 2010 at 11:14 PM ^
I don't know, I just thought the fight about it yesterday was dumb.
I'm not making any insinuation whatsoever about that particular usage of the phrase.
March 26th, 2010 at 11:20 PM ^
Yes. Sarcasm.
March 26th, 2010 at 11:09 PM ^
I care that losing gives us a chance at a better draft pick...so lose away!
March 26th, 2010 at 11:10 PM ^
It's worked well for the Lions over the years.
March 26th, 2010 at 11:34 PM ^
I would rather see them lose to get more chances at ping pong balls. Sooner or later, Joe deserves a chance to atone for the Darko Debacle. Maybe this will be the year.
March 26th, 2010 at 11:10 PM ^
and we were buried on a last-minute three. Nothing has been the same since.
March 27th, 2010 at 12:22 AM ^
That moment haunts me to this day. What was he thinking??
March 26th, 2010 at 11:10 PM ^
I'll give you a hint, I'll be that guy that says:
This is OT.
March 26th, 2010 at 11:20 PM ^
You may be correct. But seldom are NHL/NFL/MLB/NBA topics titled "OT". It's not like I'm telling you about my day, or even what the Trailblazers are up to today... it's Pistons b-ball
Anyway, I assume that you deduced that this was "OT" by the self-evident title ...
EDIT: And, no, I didn't neg you for your arguably correct statement
March 26th, 2010 at 11:22 PM ^
I've given up on bitching about the OT for pro sports for the most part. Normally I'll just edit it myself. But yes, Pistons are very much off topic. While we're all Michigan fans (except the trolls), only a slight majority might be Piston fans.
I don't give half of the posters here the credit to deduce off topic titles. Several of them can't even write informative ones that might hint at threads being off topic.

Fixed: As my Dad use to say "The rules are the rules!"
March 26th, 2010 at 11:28 PM ^
Nor I you. Voting does not really concern me.
March 26th, 2010 at 11:29 PM ^
I watched maybe three minutes of the game and the Pistons effort was amazing.
March 26th, 2010 at 11:36 PM ^
Yes - I wanted to see the Nets set the record for futility. Dangit.
March 26th, 2010 at 11:39 PM ^
Anything to help the chances of getting John Wall, though I hate losing.
But yeah, what do you guys think.....eh, yeah. Doesn't look like anybody really cares. I'll let my question be.
it will be difficult to match the signing bonus that Calipari gave him to go to Kentucky.
Lol, right!
March 27th, 2010 at 12:12 AM ^
TANK IT! TANK IT! TANK IT!
March 27th, 2010 at 12:26 AM ^
they're awful. It's amazing how quickly this team has fallen. The worst part is, they just suck to watch. Some teams have poor records, but they score a bunch of points and are at least a little entertaining to watch. The pistons just suck in all facets, they are absolutely terrible to watch. Hopefully they can land a high lottery pick and get someone with some potential, because they're just putrid right now.
March 27th, 2010 at 12:29 AM ^
If you were a fan when they were winning then you should still care.
Embrace the fun and enjoyment that striving provides.
It stings, nonetheless.
John Wall awaits, or *gulp* Evan Turner, or perhaps less evil, Wesley Johnson.
I agree. Bring on the losses. We need to get in the top 4! They have about 12 wings on the roster already, so they would have some major house cleaning for Wesley or Evan, but I am all for Favors or Cousins, if the potential head case issues check out anyway.
Of course I care that the pistons in my car are working well. And the cargo net in the trunk was a great purchase.
Wait we're talking about cars right?
I guess I sort of care.
But as others have stated, my love for the NBA died long ago. I still root for the Pistons, and they suck right now, so i'm not surprised that they lost, therefore, I do not care.

I second this list, but move up Man vs. Food to above fishing and Olympic sports above high school football
The Pistons have lost their image and mojo ever since Davidson died.
I'm a big Pistons fan and that was just sad yesterday. I was watching the game when the Tournament was on commercial and I was shocked that they lost to a team that has won all of nine games this year.
March 27th, 2010 at 10:05 AM ^
I care because I've been waiting my whole life to see a team eclipse the '72-'73 76ers record. I thought the Nets would be the one. I guess I'll have to keep waiting.
March 27th, 2010 at 10:15 AM ^
when you try to change your identity. The Pistons always won with D though the original Bad Boys could score. With the free agents they signed it was obvious they were going to try to score more. Now they don't score that much and they give up more. Dee-troit basketball is dead and it will be a while before they are relevant again.

is gone when the new owner takes over I believe.
March 27th, 2010 at 11:42 AM ^
Given that 1) we have no idea who the new owner will be and 2) Dumars is one of the most respected GMs in the league, I cast doubt on that belief.

It is a disgraceful loss.
The Nets would possibly have finished the season as the worst team ever if they had lost. I was really looking forward to that.
wait, let me expand on that.
Nope, that's better
