Well, depending on what your definition of "a decent shot" is. The Pistons have at least a 10% chance at drafting top 3. But yeah, the more losses the better.

He still has a real shot at going as high as 2nd overall. Also, why 6th? It seems highly implausible that Charlotte, Washington, New Orleans, or Cleveland catch Detroit. But what is you fifth team that the Pistons couldn't end up behind? Sacramento? I guess they are two games behind. But that hardly seems to qualify as out of reach. A sure thing?

We were so horrible and our effort was so pathetic I could not bear it. Did you realize what our body language was in the first quarter ? We were already  beaten just minutes after the tip-off. imho there's no excuse for that. If you're tired you most likely will be worn down halfway the third, but not in the begining of the first quarter. I'm very worried about Monroe. He has been so lazy and sloppy on deffense lately that it has reduced his minutes (only 22 last night !). He's too hesitant in the offensive end and he doesn't even dare to shoot the ball (7 shots per game in the last 3 games !!!). He's now where he finished last year. Maybe one or two steps behind from his game at the begining of this season. I can't understand why he's not shooting the ball10-15 times per game yet. No post moves, no shots, not even barely tip-ins. Only drives or turnovers...barely involved in the offensive end. Well, we have 9 games ahead and 4 or 5 wins more. I don't think we're going to pick higher than the 8th possition unless we're lucky and the lottery gives us the chance to pick among the first three picks.  Any news on Macklin?? Put Wilinks in the inactive list and play him pleaseee!!

Its time to start CV, Daye, Macklin, Walker, Wilkins for the rest of the year IMHO. 9 games to go and i think we will have to lose all of them to get a decent shot at a top 3, 4 or 5 pick.

It was refreshing to see CV in the game and hit a couple of shots right off the back and play with a little defense. Audition for trade perhaps?? The pistons looked bad as a unit last night but 4 cities in 5 nights is still no excuse my god man! lol. Gordon looked horrible and dribbles way to much, please just the open shot or lighty contested shot for godsake! BKnight is going to be good, but until he learns how to get his shot up more comfortable he will force up bricks like last night. When he's open he is high per%. Maybe they were fatigued maybe they got fatigued when the game got out of hand early but they clearly are not the same team they had been a couple of weeks ago, this mirrored the 4-20 pistons of early. At this point in games like this i'd like to see the future line up of Knight, Daye, JJ, Monroe and Macklin, i mean what gives, its not tanking its evaluating our youngs in an NBA caliber game with real officiating and not PRACTICE and Frank as the ref! Time to look ahead in the late half of games when the L wont matter. Horrible game to watch, in fact painful!
