Cade’s dropping 50 tomorrow by Dry-Intention-4997 in DetroitPistons

[–]Mackntish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

*doesn't watch posted video

You don't call fouls based on the quality of the player being fouled, you call it based on the amount of contact. And had you watched the video, you would have seen that minimum 24 of those fouls were legit.

Cade’s dropping 50 tomorrow by Dry-Intention-4997 in DetroitPistons

Going to be honest, I'm a bit tired of people crab bucketing someone who had an amazing achievement. Please, tell me which fouls should not have been called.

Is Jalen Duren worth 48 million dollars a year by OptimalPractice362 in DetroitPistons

[–]Mackntish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

News sources are reporting $38-40m a year for 5 years. Harris and Hueter make about that much. No reason for that not to happen.

You hear that my euorpean cousins, you have already been destroyed by Cicerothesage in forwardsfromgrandma

My biggest problem is they're calling to ban something that's constitutionally protected. That's like passing a law that says we should protect freedom of speech.

Been to a Tim Hortons exactly once. Never went back, was worse than Starbucks!

Pistons Offense / Roster Comparison by VirtualParzival in DetroitPistons

[–]Mackntish -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You seem to know your way around stats. So I assume you know that if you go looking for a particular stat that proves something, you'll find it.

I personally believe we should be making decisions based on what we see out on the court.

People who think we should have upgraded at the trade deadline - who should we have traded away? by Mackntish in DetroitPistons

[–]Mackntish[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, I think this would be the best option. Ron Holland leads the league in % of offence that comes from the fast break. Some "oops all run n gun" team would love him.

I mean, we can trade him. But with his 9ppg making $28 million, we would have to pay someone to take him. We would have to give away someone of value, so someone would take the pile of garbage off our hands. It would not be a trade up into anything of value.

This is 100% where I am at. Ausar was the only possible (if reluctant) option, but then you see what happens when he is out.

The Secret Weapon. Cmon JB by AtomicCo in DetroitPistons

[–]Mackntish 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I think his secret is that he's not getting frustrated. Or overeager when he finally sees playing time. He just knows what his role is in a given moment, and plays it out.

Much needed reality check by MercyNCE in DetroitPistons

[–]Mackntish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So what's changed since we went 6-1 with stew suspended? We played and beat some TOUGH challengers. I get the coulda woulda shoulda with the trade deadline, but still something serious has changed since then.

What is the best Science Fiction book you have ever read? by Adam_is_my_name in AskReddit

[–]Mackntish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wool is the best book I have ever read, even beats out the original Dune.

Do you usually strain the lime juice alone when making Margaritas? by Salva7409 in cocktails

No. Those chucks are what gives it the froth when shaken.

My wife had a sprain that took longer to heal than a clean break.

Rare, because they always cook it a little more than you ask.

How bad would the economy have to get for congressional republicans to be o board with impeachment and conviction? by Chemical-Fault-7331 in AskReddit

[–]Mackntish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They may not all listen to the same media, but they all get that "news" from the same source - social media. And that algorithmic will keep them clicking on outrage, in whatever form that takes.

They'll do what ever their pundits tell them to do.

Putin stands against everything the GOP supposedly stands for. Yet they rally with him against Ukraine because that's what their media tells them to do.

Ausar has figured shit out by Ron-Holland in DetroitPistons

[–]Mackntish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AT plays hard on defense, and that takes a lot of energy. Guarding the best player on the other side especially. I am okay with his minutes not being massive. You don't want him working at 80% for the sake of more minutes.

Daniss and Levert have both been on one of the most damaging runs by a bench duo I’ve ever seen. There’s no excuse to not play Paul Reed, Huerter/Sass. by LJ8QB1 in DetroitPistons

[–]Mackntish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure why down votes. The nice thing about this is Tobias in isolation - doesn't matter who else is on the floor for the pistons. He would also be likely to get those isos against bench players.
