Josh smith is trash though

Yep, 20 boards is becoming routine, and he has been a much stronger presence on both ends in the paint.

Drummond is looking better than he ever has over the last 4 games. It's scary that he's only 21.

If his post game keeps developing (and it's made huge leaps already), and he starts hitting free throws, he'll make it to super star status.

I used firstrowsports.eu last night. Once you get past the pop-ups, it's fine.

Thanks. I used firstrow a few years ago but at that time it too had gone down. Glad it's running. I do not have cable or satellite, so I need the streaming sites.

I might watch the Rockets game this eve for the hell of it. I actually want them to beat the Heat, who are but 4.5 games ahead of the Pistons for the 8th seed.

Smith played better today and the Rockets thumped the ice cold Heat. The Pistons are now 4 games (3 in the loss column) behind the Heat for the 8th seed, with 50 games to go.

I still want to strangle Gores for handcuffing Joey D trading Gordon and that first rounder

[nhwbrooklyn]

I think I read somewhere that Gores admitted that was a mistake.

Doesn't change the fact that i'd still like to punch him in the face for it. That pick really f'ed SVG start to his Piston career.

[The Oracle]

It did? To start his career, what player would have made a difference so far? Now later on, it's a very nice piece to have but that doesn't matter right now.

Zach LaVine is showing some star ability but it's still early. Most the guys selected 9th and after, from the 2014 draft, haven't showed much yet though.

Jennings went for 35 as the Pistons win their 5th straight. 3.5 games out of the 8th seed.

Break up the Pistons!! They are unstoppable!!!

Another blowout win. 5 wins and they haven't had a close game yet,

[froot loops]

Their style of play has changed completely since they released smith. Total 180 in terms of pace and defensive philosophy.
