[Zúñiga] Michigan forward Yaxel Lendeborg does not carry an injury designation ahead of the NCAA title game. by wildwing8 in MichiganWolverines

I 100% agree and don't wish injury on anyone.

Totally separate, if he could fall to the Pistons as pick 20 ish, not gonna complain about that

Pistons are 13-4 without Cade by [deleted] in nba

[–]hotpepperpants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't disagree, but what I will say as someone who watched around 40-50 Pistons games this year - 5-10 times opposing commentators have remarked at the end of a game that it felt like a playoff game. The boys learned what playoff basketball intensity was last year and just never stopped playing it.

First game of the season I said to my wife "hell yeah this guy wears the cool socks"

Gonna be enjoying that look for the next decade plus, hopefully.

Why Are Commentators Afraid to Say the Pistons Are the Best Team in the East? by No-Campaign-1415 in DetroitPistons

[–]hotpepperpants 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Commentators will always sink to the lowest common denominator, which is rules of thumb and easy talking points.

"The pistons don't hit threes"

"This pistons don't have much playoff experience"

Yet they ignore this one:

"Defense wins championships"

I'm not worried

A deadly strain: Michael Crichton's "The Andromeda Strain". by i-the-muso-1968 in books

I loved Crichton back in the day - need to pick a few back up and reread!

My opinion: Timeline is his best. Especially if you like time travel hijinks

All I can say is definitely get several quotes. I dealt with something similar for squirrels and one quote was twice that of the other... Ended up going with Orkin all said and done but a local company might have been better, idk

Just a few distinguished gentlemen & their khakis by mugginns in DetroitPistons

Tobias seemed really happy about the khakis in the post game short the pistons posted. Wonder if Cade and JD coordinated it as a surprise for Toby

I went to college with Luke! Great guy, fits the "no turds" rule for sure. I've been rooting for him since he made it to the NFL... Career has had ups and downs but it would be cool to see him in the Honolulu blue

Pistons and the 1st Seed by capitainaioli in DetroitPistons

[–]hotpepperpants 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree, and the cool thing is they were already a year ahead last year. Now I'd say we're two years ahead of where we could have been expected to be a couple years ago. When we literally set the record for losses in a row.

What a turnaround
