    The Pistons will beat the Raptors tomorrow. All you sports bettors might want to get on that +300 with the spread +9.5
    Eventually that team will win a game and the raptors are ripe in Detroit on a B2B after the Celtics today.

    Bill Simmons much like you is prone to reactionary takes that don’t give situations enough time to develop.

    Goga got a little over-excited while thumping NYC, accidentally runs over a Knickerbocker.

    Tomorrow's the big day for the Detroit Pistons. Little Caesars Arena in Detroit vs the Toronto Raptors starting at 3pm Pacific Time.

    Can they go where no NBA team has gone before? 29 consecutive losses. Uncharted waters. Modern-day Columbuses of professional basketball.

    Monty Williams 2022 COY and was in the Finals in 2021. Got the huge paycheck and now is making more history.
    At what point does Detroit fire Monty?

    No chance they fire him. Owed too much money. The GM will be fired though.

    Exhibit A on why coaches get too much credit & blame from the fans.

    Did Monty's abilities change in the last 3 years?
    Likely not by much...
    The talent on his roster's sure changed a lot though

    Is that really want New York needs? I guess a defense-first player is going to appeal to Thibs...

    (Looks like Woj pipped Shams by exactly one minute...)
