It’s either going to be the first or “I apologize if I mad enough her comfortable but I recall the events of that night differently”

He already played the “That’s what you get for being nice...” and the “His digits are too big” cards, I don’t think those you list are playable anymore.

-1 for using the Cape instead of the opportunity to use Mahtha’s Vineyahd.

Narrator voice: “It was not”

Places your bets now - a bad mix of medication and alcohol or she was asking for it?

Fellow lifelong fan here; I started paying a little attention when they went out and grabbed Blake thinking ‘hey at least maybe they’ll be fun!’

The internet is so hilarious: put up a blog post saying a 39-43 record is the effective ceiling for this team, then act defensive when people who actually pay attention to the team remind you that was a dumb thing to say.

Yes, which is why I didn’t use the word “impossible.”

The Sixers are 20-9 ever since you said it would be
“optimistic” to expect them to improve.

The fact that Detroit has fallen apart without Jackson means that his case as the Pistons most valuable player pretty much writes itself.

If he had two hands he would have been playing for Alabama or something.

They don’t call it ‘the runs’ for nothin’!

Almost certainly.

And if any team has experience with that kind of thing...

This is what Sixers fans were saying for a decade.

This is now the 9th straight year of being “bad but not BAD” and never winning a playoff game (barring a miracle run to end this season, which, yeah that’s not happening) but also never finishing with any realistic shot at a top five pick. It’s just depressing.

I live in Boston (I know, sorry), and I sometimes ask myself, “why not get more into the Celtics?” Then I have to remind myself that I pledged myself to my hometown Pistons during the Bad Boys era. That’s how irrelevant the Pistons are to me at this point. I actively forget that I’m a fan.

Long-time Pistons fan here. Not going to argue with your main thesis, or even most of your supporting and even minor points. But no way is Ish Smith the most irreplaceable Piston. Ish plays hard, and is capable of being a decent, if limited, back-up point guard. But without blaming all of Detroit’s woes on Reggie…

I wonder what it is like to live without the concept of shame? Literally never feeling shame, or guilt, or ever having even a single moment of self-awareness. Not even being able to grasp the concept of hypocrisy.

God, that’s a gross elbow
