Detroit down by 30+ at the start of the 2nd qtr @ home against the Knicks. Thank god the Lions are good this year tbh![]()
We’d just be adding ANOTHER non-shooter

The current Lions are probably the only thing keeping Pistons fans from unaliving themselves.
A Lions SB win would feed generations tbh.
as far as rooting interests this year, we all know about...
- wanting atlanta to do poorly to increase the quality of the 2025 pick
- wanting charlotte to do well such that the lotto protected pick conveys (last year for it to happen)
- wanting chicago to do well enough so the top 10 protected pick conveys (though theres merit to hoping it conveys next year instead)
but taking a deeper dive into the long term atlanta situation (given that we have their pick in 2026 and 2027 as well), we should also want...
- the lakers to do well. atlanta owns the lakers 2025 unprotected pick. we dont want ATL to get good help, which would theoretically decrease the quality of those 2026 and 2027 picks
- the kings to do poorly. the kings owe atlanta a top 10 protected pick, which becomes top 8 protected next year. ATL getting an additional first rounder from the kings would also theoretically degrade the quality of the future picks they owe us
, they’re still living off that NFL championship where the game was in TIGER STADIUM.![]()
That Lakers '25 pick will be in the low 20s IMO. I think the Kings pick conveys in the teens as well.
I think the Hawks end up packaging both in the offseason to get Young some help heading into the last year of his deal (I think the final year is a Player Option).
I'm fairly optimistic the Hawks send the Spurs a top 10 pick this year. But I'm not really sure if the '26 swap ends up being much if anything tbh.
If you remember the players we missed, like Batum for just one spot (a few others I don't recall, Gobert iircc?), whatever is better than what the Spurs get could be decisive.
Want Clippers to do well since OKC get their pick outright. (Or HOU, imo.)
yeah that one too![]()
Yeah, OKC getS the best of the two, but the swap with Houston is top 10 protected. For those who think swaps are nothingburgers, THAT one is.
Fun fact, between Harden and KPJ, they are using 70% of the Clippers possessions. They’re both up at the top of the NBA USG% stat leaders.![]()
At some point LAC has to fall apart. That's unsustainable.
That’s pretty normal for Harden, but man, those other three guys on the court must be bored.
How Hardens ass taste, Batum? I hope your wife is enjoying the shopping and nitelife.
Cam Thomas is a baaaaaaad man
Man I wish we had him, just what we need
He’s a selfish ing chucker. He’d play 1 on 5 if they’d let him, so he could have all the shots.
Brooklyn is playing pretty well. At some point they need to realize they're tanking.
Sacramento had control of Atlanta throughout before an Atlanta run. Kings never felt fully out of control.
Atlanta gets NOP, BOS, NYK next before Detroit, who got slaughtered by the Knicks tonight. Things aren't looking great for the Hawks.
Isn't that the profile of most talented SG playing for a tanking team?
It's on the coaching to use him properly.
Guys don’t play differently if they’re tanking. He is what he is.
I don't know much about his character tbh, he's just balling everytime I watch him and I wish Vassell had some of his skills like ball handling and his ability to create separation.
Also he's still super young, he can mature. Environement and coaching can change a lot of players
Nuggets somehow hanging with the wolves at half. Joker playing more assertive in the first quarter
It’s just so shocking to me how bad Westbrook is at basketball now that he’s lost 50% of his athleticism and doesn’t have the ball in his hands 90% of the time.
He should be out of the league.
Hopefully the Thunder sell the farm for Giannis and win in the short term so when the Spurs are ready to contend they're at the end of theirs tbh.
Brandon Boston Jr. had a nice game yesterday with 14 pts scored in Pels win over Pacers.
Pels claimed him from waivers and signed him to a two way contract. He is now getting some playing time with all the injuries they have.
Tbh, SGA's timeline is closer to Giannis than Williams/Chet.
Right now there's only one all-time great team in the league, they'd be guaranteed to make the finals with Giannis.
If there's a chance to get better, you take it.
Way too many teams look too far into the future and then it doesn't work out.
Obviously they shouldn't get fleeced, but Williams+6 FRPs+salary would be a fair offer.
