    Not sure why we traded the ONLY guy off the bench that played with any energy consistently. Corey Brewer is GARBARGE! Even when Brewer plays well the team barely notices. Thornton was the only guy you can trust would atleast play with passion.


    My guess is Morey KNOWS his time is running out before he gets fired and is running the team into the ground

    He's shooting 33% from three, if he got hot consistently, he would be a 40% shooter at least.

    People being haters. The hair talk is especially messed up.

    Good luck Marcus. You did what you were paid to do for us this year. Hopefully you'll have a nice run in Detroit.

    I'm rooting for the Pistons to win the East, even if they are longshots. After that Meeks fiasco they are looking good.
