In last 49 games, Detroit, San Antonio & Washington are a combine 1-48..let that sink in

And the only win was Washington beating Detroit.

that's incredible

The terrible trio with another 0-3 night.

Two possible results from the Lakers winning the in-season tournament:

It motivates them and they go on a winning binge the second half of the season.
We have to watch a nauseating locker room celebration after they win their 18th title while Anthony Davis talks about the in-season tournament being the key factor that turned around their season and drove them to the championship. I make plans to move out of the country.

OR

They spend the rest of the season celebrating and Davis, once again, loses any consistent intensity while Lebron falls in love with his 32-foot step-backs while focusing more on his son's draft status than the Lakers record. The seasons deteriorates into a disappointing failure. All is well.
The Four Celtic Generals:
Russell - Cowens - Bird - Garnett

The Four Celtic Lieutenants:
Cousy - Havlicek - McHale - Pierce

Dante Exum is finding his groove now in Dallas after spending a couple of years in Europe.
Nice comeback story.

I hope it's the latter.

But remember when Kobe passed away? The same year they won the bubble championship. I don't want any driving force or an event being a key factor for them to get past the Mavericks, Timberwolves, and Nuggets to rep the Finals.

Seems to be a theme this year. Is it the same guy that got Tatum and Brown?

Not sure actually. It was either Mark Lindsay or Mousa Dagher that blew the whistle on Jokic.

Booker & Beal but no Durant.

When are these 3 actually going to play together? This is ridiculous.

Draymond ejected for another flagrant penalty 2 after winding up and whacking Nurkic across the face.  What a shocker.

Clearly that suspension taught him so much.  He's completely out of control.

The Detroit Pistons lost their 20th consecutive game on Monday night. Pistons head coach Monty Williams was encouraged despite the loss.

“I think we’re starting to figure out that we can score if we space the floor properly," Williams said. "I’m learning how to use certain guys on the team."

Williams referenced the team utilizing rookie wing Ausar Thompson more as a screener and roller. Williams also talked about the spacing that Alec Burks and Jaden Ivey provided the team.

"As much as this losing hurts all of us… it hurts like you can’t believe, I still see a lot of growth and I’m encouraged by some of the things I saw tonight," Williams said. "Now we’ve got to try to build on it and get to a place where we have the lead, keep the lead, and close.”

Idk how Pistons management can deal with 20-straight losses and still keep Monty Williams as a head coach.

Clearly that suspension taught him so much.  He's completely out of control.

He's just adding to his MMA repertoire: Low blow kick (Adams), Groin kick (LeBum), chest curbstomp (Sabonis), sucker punch (Poole), Choke hold (Gobert), German suplex (Mann), Face strike (Nurkic).
Any odd typos are because I suck at typing on an iPhone :D
