I haven't seen this posted yet, so let's play!
I know that it is early and there still may be some moves but since the over/under totals are out there let's pick. Funny how they kept Portland's number off, but not Miami's. Also, no one is listed as low as the bottom 3 teams from last year nor as...
I think tonight is the first time all year that the Pistons have been televised nationally. And it is because it is the only NBA game tonight going against the NCAA tournament. And what a crap game Detroit @ Orlando is a battle for the bottom! I'm willing to be that even the players families...
You get to open the season against two teams that you consider yourself superior to, Charlotte and Washington. Lose the first by 1 and go to overtime in the second to lose by one. Hard way to start the season for the retread coach saying this time it'll be different. Built not bought...
Let's face it, Thanasis Antetokounmpo didn't make it in the NBA. He had a go with the Knicks in 2015-16 and couldn't get traction in that sad rotation.
It's no coincidence that he has been on the Bucks for the last two years with his brother Giannis. Yes, it likely keeps Giannis happy having...
Care Cunningham is the consensus #1 pick for the 2021 draft. But is he really head and shoulders better than the other top prospects? Both Houston and Cleveland have made some noise about being interested in the top pick, meaning Detroit could move down just a place or two, still getting a...
Well, this should rightly instantly go to fouled out, but I want to see what he has to say.
@buckalis says there are only about 3 posters on this board with 20+ alts doing all the posting.
So, first @buckalis, who are the trolls and who are their 20+ alts?
Second, post here if you are a real...
They should induct Kobe to the hall 4 days before the main ceremony, On 8/24/20 for his numbers and years in the association and we can have Kobe Bryant Day
The Pistons currently sit in the #6 playoff spot in the east. There is no delusion they are winning it all, the east, or even the second round.
But they recently beat the Raptors for the 3 game season sweep. The Raptors currently sit in the #2 position and are likely to finish there. If...
Just got an expansion hockey team approved by the NHL on promises of a renovated Key Arena. If the arena is going to be good enough for hockey to compete in the modern era it should be adequate for an NBA franchise as well. How long until hoops are back in The Emerald City?
Yes, your starting center has yet to play.
Yes, you started the season with a tough West coast road trip.
But, c'mon man.
No team with a Wall and Beal back court should be this bad in the modern NBA.
And giving up 125 a game (30th best) speaks volumes to your effort.
Brooks, watcha doin?
Whatever the hell it is that Stan Van Gundy is doing with the Pistons as coach certainly isn't working. He, as president, has assembled a decently talented roster that should be able to be at least solidly in the playoff picture. Yet as coach he has failed to both develop the talent he has and...
Happy Thanksgiving to my NBA SportsHoopla family. Life would be much more boring without you all. Hopefully you get the opportunity to enjoy the day with family and friends and get a chance to be thankful for all life has given us.
Enjoy!
Is this the year that we will finally have an East that is balanced with the West?
In the off season it seemed like the discrepancy between East and West would only widen with some of the bigger name players moving from the East to the West. But so far in the early season that has not been the...
I was watching the Heat/Pistons game yesterday and there was some serious eye pain involved.
Tyler Johnson
Kelly Olynyk
Reggie Jackson
and Although he didn't play, an honorable mention
Boban Marjanovic
I usually can't stay up for the Pistons West coast games, so their first West coast swing of the year falling on the weekend was great for me. And then they go and make it worth staying up by handing the Clipper their first loss. Followed the next night by holding off the defending Champs to...
True to standard off season form, no one is talking about the Spurs.
Yes, they are still boring.
They had a pretty boring draft and free agency. They didn't trade Aldridge and move up in the draft. They drafted late and took an old senior combo guard, Derrick White, that only people that...
Pistons have a players only meeting to try to right their ship.
Pistons hope players-only meeting helps team stop their stumbling
Reggie's return was supposed to boost the Pistons, but it has only set them back. They have too much talent that should work together to be 3-5 since his return...
With the Warriors and 76ers perfect seasons continuing a lot of things are going unnoticed in the NBA.
Take the Indiana Pacers, for example. Many people wrote them off after a horrific 0-3 start. They just looked like they didn't work on that first week, and being in a small market with an...
It's just completely unfair. If the playoffs started today a team with a better record in the East would miss the playoffs while a sub-.500 team from the weak west would undeservingly get in.
let's realign!
Let's change the playoff format!
Yahoo! Sports is reporting that Greg Monroe is going to sign for max money with the Bucks.
Carter-Williams

Antetokounmpo

would make a young, long, and athletic starting 5.
