    i know Clingan hasn't looked that good out there but the team just seems to do better when he is on the court.

    If there have been doubts about the current state of Ant's game, I think he has answered those. I wasn't one who thought that Ant or Jerami's trade value had been impacted by this season's play but Ant is definitely still able to do what Ant does.

    Not a bad loss.

    great offense will offset bad defense most of the time, and Simons had a torch this game; last game too

    hopefully some team will get suckered by the torch and ignore the sieve

    is it Clingan's knee for his meh play or has he been scouted?

    Looks much slower and less coordinated since the injury. Not moving very well.

    Or he single-handedly helped the lottery chances. You live by Simons, you die by Simons.

    These are the losses we need.

    That Milwaukee win may fuck us at the end of the season. Every loss matters.

    I just want to enjoy wins and hate losses like I use to. :( but there's no benefits to wins long term. It's so sad.

    I know this isn't an original thought around here, but any wins generated by that starting veteran trio are dumb wins. And I think there have been 4 at least, maybe 5

    but if the team was the young guys; the upside guys, and they were generating wins that would be ok. That little 3 game win streak when Ant and Ayton were out didn't bother me at all. That win against the Bucks did

    Living in Pistons country I see a lot of Cade Cunningham, and he's the most boring unimpressive potential star around. He certainly puts up the numbers but Anfernee and Shae looked far more promising tonight.

    BUT: that was a great game, which is pretty surprising for a matchup that for the past few years has been a matchup of bottom feeders. I'm sorry to say I missed our first-half 17 point run - if anyone can find a video of it...

    Has nobody realized that the Pistons went to the free throw line 22 times compared
    to the Blazers 5 times? COMPLETELY UNFAIR!!

    See I don’t always believe in that. Often times the more aggressive team gets more foul calls.

    And not a single 2-shot foul. To quote Jason whatever his last name is, who is infinitely better than Calabro, "that's weird."

    Another fun game to watch. A lot of good performances. Ant was sensational.
