Just to show a comparison of age and wins:

OKC is 18-8.
9th best offense.
5th best defense.
10th toughest schedule.
Wins over Denver, Dallas, Golden State, the Lakers, Clippers, and the Suns.

They are the youngest team in the league.

Can this be explained by guys entering the NBA so young?


I think it takes several years to get used to the grind of a long season, but this is kind of obvious. I believe the 3pt line is a less obvious factor.

High school: 19' 9"
College: 22' 1.75"
NBA: 23' 9"

I think this is a much more difficult adjustment to make than it is talked about, and it's also why most players are worse than expected 3 point shooters for their first few NBA seasons.

Just lost again- 27 straight losses. What a fricking disgrace and an outright embarrassment for an already deteriorated NBA.

Monty Williams is a great dude but he shouldn’t be allowed to step on the court as Pistons HC again. You have a 2-28 record ten times out of ten you’ve permanently lost the faith of the team, fans, and entire organization.

That team ain’t winning anytime soon their schedule is BRUTAL. They could legit lose 35 in a row before they win their next game…

Monty stinks but Gores (Owner) and Troy Weaver (GM) are absolutely much bigger issues for that org.

How is a coach not fired after losing 27 in a row? To think that clown is making 13 mil a year too lol. Basically a mil for each win he gets at this rate. And that’s being generous.

How can a guy get drafted top 5 and can’t shoot?

I swear I never hear anything about Gores other than he loves coke. He is weird downriver Beverly Hillbilly trash.

Pistons


27 game losing streak.

The rare 2-28 team that started the season with a winning record.

Imagine being on the team that loses to them to end the streak.
I bet everyone they play feels extra pressure to not be the one.

Cunningham really tried last night. He put up 41 on solid shooting numbers. He sounds really dejected. He is up for a big extension this summer. Should they move him? Blow it all up?

...and he had 37 in the second half

Cade is pretty polarizing among Pistons fans. Some think he is too TO prone and inefficient overall to be a superstar in this league.

I think he is carrying a dogshit, poorly constructed, dysfunctional roster that doesn't complement him at all. He is only 22.

Going to be interesting, because we are now firmly in the territory of shitty organization from top down, which means I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't want to be part of it going forward.

Cade, Duren and Ausar are good pieces going forward, but who is going to build the roster around them? That doesn't even begin to address what they do with Monty.

I put $20 on the Boston ML at halftime. I may lose, but it took them less than a quarter to blow the lead

Towards the end of the 1Q, I made a live bet of U232.5. Should have easily gone under but, of course, here comes OT!
