They now have sole ownership of the single-season losing streak at twenty-seven games! :D. It sucked that I had to sweat it out till the end. Cade Cunningham was really trying to end that streak tonight, but thankfully they failed. I actually felt bad for him & only him. The Celtics is on Thursday & hopefully it will be a different story for the Pistons. As an they get the doors beaten out of them & the loss #28 is secured by the 4th Quarter. Those close games really scare me because they might find a way to win one of these close games to end that streak & that cannot happen. Overall, 2 more losses to Immortal NBA Futility.

I've been following the play-by-play on ESPN each night to bring y'all the updates and if the last five minutes of the Brooklyn game is anything to go by I don't think Detroit stumbling their way into a win will be a problem. Lmao. Detroit turned the ball over three times in the last fifteen seconds. When they weren't turning it over, they were either bricking shots or fouling.

I can careless about the Celtics being 14-0 at home this season. The only thing that matters tonight is the Pistons going down tonight & taking another step closer to the apex of NBA futility. The Celtics better not take them lightly tonight & fall flat on their faces. They need to do something right for me for a change tonight & make their losing streak reach #28. 1 Link to comment

Amazing how far the Pistons have fallen. ☹️ Even though I was very happy that the Pistons lost again to make it 28 in a row. I was not very happy that I had to sweat it out profusely throughout the game because the Celtics didn't take the Pistons seriously & instead, decided to sleepwalk through the first half & get down by 21 points while doing it. 🤬 I was absolutely furious at halftime when the Pistons were up by 19 & it made me sick to my stomach that the Pistons might actually win the game at the end. 😒 I was getting pretty close to vomiting on a few occasions, especially near the end of the game. Thankfully, the Celtics pulled it out at the end in Overtime. Frankly, it was more of a hugh sigh of relief than a celebration for me last night. As if I need anymore reasons to hate the Celtics. Those idiots always finding ways to piss me off. First it was that scummy Paul Pierce & the big 3 in 2008-2010. Then its them flat out failing against those Warriors in the Finals. Then failing against those Warriors a couple of weeks by letting Steph being Steph in the 4th Quarter & Overtime. 😒 Now, its those jerks almost ruining a once in a lifetime moment by them playing like crap to the sucky Pistons & getting down by 21 points before the comeback. Hopefully, last night will put an end to comparisons of Jayson Tatum & Kobe Bryant (RIP). That comparison should of ended when he failed against those Warriors in the Finals. But sadly, some people on ESPN are still doing that. I know that Kobe would of taken those Pistons seriously & put them out of their misery by the 4th Quarter. Frankly, last night's game made dislike Jayson Tatum even more. Overall, the streak is still alive at 28, thank god. I have to hope & pray that the Raptors will not lay down & play dead on Saturday Night like the Celtics did last night in the first half. I have better hear some "Sell the Team" chants at the end of the game when/if the Pistons lose on Saturday Night to get loss #29 for the record. At least, this video of the sad Piston fan (Commissioner Dynamo) made me somewhat feel better. Its also very funny.

Thanks for absolutely nothing, Toronto Raptors!! 🤬 Once in a lifetime immortality & the Raptors have to ruined it in epic fashion. They have brought absolute eternal shame to Raptors Basketball now & forever. My New Years Weekend has been officially ruined. 😒 I don't even who is the current Raptors coach right now. But, not only should that loss be a very fireable offense, but he should never ever work in the NBA in any capacity ever again. The Pistons finally winning a game after 28 losses brought me eternal sadness & anger, just like those Warriors winning those 4 titles brought me eternal sadness & anger.

Lamb18 January 1 Share January 1 I think there is a rookie who is doing well, but I think it's more that KAT and Rudy are playing well together, plus Anthony Edwards playing well as he usually does. It's like they have the right mix of guys this year, including those who step up from the bench like Naz Reid and there's a guy who's pretty good at 3-pointers. 1 Link to comment

LexieLily January 4 Share January 4 Report of disconnect between Lakers’ locker room, coach Darvin Ham Quote The problem with the Lakers is not injuries so much as what they expose — this was a team built without a margin for error. The touted continuity and depth have failed, and the defense that was supposed to anchor them is inconsistent. [...] The Lakers go as LeBron goes nightly, which was not supposed to be the case. This Lakers team was built for short bursts of quality play when everyone is healthy — which is how they won the inaugural IST — but can’t sustain that over the grind of the regular season. Translation: The exact same problem they had last year, the year before last, and every year since they traded for Anthony Davis to pair with LeBron. 5 Link to comment

Sad sack Dubs are coming off a tough loss last night against a GOOD team. Speaking of those Warriors, it was really nice seeing The Joker give Steph & those Warriors a taste of their own medicine on Thursday Night . Nikola Jokic hits most insane game winner buzzer beater vs Warriors 😱😱 😁 😂 🤣 It was beautiful watching that go in & seeing it wipe that smile off Steph's face. Those Warriors were up by 18 halfway through the 4th Quarter & were up by 7 with 2 minutes left in the game & those Warriors flat out choked that game away. it was also wonderful seeing Steph making that costly turnover at the end to set up that game-winner. BTW, the Lakers lost again last night. This time to the Memphis Grizzlies 127-113. They're now on a 4 game losing streak & some of their fans (mainly ESPN) are downright panicking right now since the Lakers have been very bad (3-10) since winning that Not Worth A Damn In-Season Tournament.
