    Always good to know the date where I should see a game before, to act like it matters.

    Please please please

    Drummond, 26, was speaking recently at the Osgood Shootout tournament in New Britain, Connecticut. He moved to the state when he was young, played at UConn for one season and was the ninth overall draft pick in 2012 by the Pistons.

    Here's the exchange:

    Reporter: You've got a lot of years left, you're still a young player.

    Drummond: I'm a free agent next summer.

    Reporter: Looking forward to that?

    Drummond: Yeah, it should be fun, I'm excited. I think I'm the only one that has a big contract coming up that year.

    Article says he died unexpectedly last night. Sad stuff. Always seemed like a real good dude and not into himself.

    I’m for whatever keeps Gores occupied so he doesn’t think about offering Andre a super max deal.

    Griffin is already missing 10 games. No way he plays more than 65 games this year. I think we can do easily get into the bottom 8. Hope we get lucky in the lottery.

    that’s not the same as tanking (we absolutely should tank)

    If we're out of the top 8 in the East in January and Blake is healthy and playing reasonably well, he gets traded, IMO. And that's when we basically tank.

    If he keeps playing like this he will get one (maybe from some other team). He will definitely opt out

    and trade Reggie

    No press and the Pistons pass it into Andre after a made three by Indy. What in the honest fuck? How bad are NBA coaches?

    Was looking at our schedule last night and it's weird. We play 33 games before Christmas. Only 5 of them are against Western Conference teams. Our longest west coast road trip in that time (not including a home game v. Dallas in Mexico City) is at Houston.

    The last 50 games of the schedule is going to be brutal, and we probably need to be at least 10 games over .500 at Christmas to have a realistic shot at making the playoffs because of it.
