The Ultimate 2013-14 Pistons Game Thread

They made me nervous. Thankfully, Smith, Jennings, and Monroe shot a combined 15-48 to secure the loss. Good thing too because nobody below the Pistons lost tonight.

Speak for yourself, I still want to see them win with this squad, pick on the line or not...

Where did I imply I was speaking for anyone but me? Don't be mad at me that this team is built to fail, I didn't do it.

You've made it clear you're really hoping to see them get the 8 seed and be annihilated in the first round and I've made it clear I'd like to see them keep their first round pick. Just let it go.

I didn't mean to upset, I thought the comment would come across as more passive.

I want them to lose every game.

The Knicks thankfully come to Detroit for a 7:30 PM Est tip-off

Game 60 (3/3/14): Knicks @ Pistons

Crucial game, the Pistons can't let the Knicks get away with a loss

Drummond was a beast tonight and Jennings also played pretty well. Kind of sucks as I also want us to tank.

2 loses in a row. Looking good.

Pistons remain at 10, 0.5 games better than Cleveland and 3.5 games ahead of the 4th spot Lakers.

New York with a 2 game winning streak...I like it.

Game 63 (3/9/14): Pistons @ Celtics

Pistons remain at 10, but they're catching up (down?) to the teams below them.

0.5 up on 8th place teams Cleveland/NY
2 up on the 5th place teams Boston/Utah/Sacramento
2.5 up on the 4th place Lakers

By my count, 7 of the Pistons remaining 19 games are against teams currently below them in the standings

The Knicks are playing an awful 16-straight losses 76er team tonight, NY should win which would put the Pistons and Knicks in a tie for the 9th worst record

Super late but

Game 64 (3/11/14): Kings @ Pistons

 

[greenbeerd13]

Pistons win 99-89, Stuckey and Smith combine for 47 points, Andre Drummond has 5 blocks.

The Pistons now face a grueling stretch of tough opponents, which should please those on the tanking bandwagon (Everyone but me pretty much).

They end the month of march on a lighter note, with games against both Philly and Milwaukee.

More top teams all throughout April. Playoffs seem a toss up at this point. Either way I'm paying more attention to the Tigers come baseball time.
