I stopped playing after sixth grade because our coach was clearly trying to get his son to the NBA. The only offense we ever practiced was everyone getting the ball to him. I don't know why that kid was even on our team, he was bad and didn't even go to our school. It destroyed my childlike love of the game for years :smith:

I'm a tad bit nervous about it, I don't know. At the same time? Just trying to enjoy the ride. I had to go through 4 years of being pissed at that sports world over 2010.

I'm hoping they're serious come playoff time.

I like how the Pistons have been playing in a bougie suburb for more than 25 years and people still make the cheap "Detroit sucks" joke. Living and working around Auburn Hills is probably the same boring experience that like, Kings players get.

I think the bigger issue is that they can't guard anyone now that Ibaka is out. Which is also sort of Russ's fault because he shamelessly gambles for steals on basiclly every possession, but they also wouldn't score any points without him so.
while this is all true its more fun to blame waiters for everything
