So what's the plan now for the Pistons? I thought they were tanking but can/will/should they push for a playoff spot now?

Of course. They're only 3 games behind on the loss column in a weak conference.
Clippers' new owner Steve Ballmer, ladies and gentlemen. Priceless
Why is Waiters an idiot?
Watched both games tonight. I know it's the Knicks but Harden really is brilliant. Lillard and Aldridge likewise.
I watched the game against the Heat in the stadium and Harden is really something else, fantastic player, Josh Smith no doing too bad either.
Edit:I meant Josh Smith not doing too bad recently not tonight.

By the way, let's not talk about Miami's results, that kid Whiteside has a lot of potential. I hope Spo gives him more chances to develop because he's really promising. Good rebounder, a block machine and he's got the height as well.
Jacking up that many shots in a team which has LeBron, Kyrie and Love ahead of him in the pecking order certainly qualifies him as one. He's still on his rookie contract for goodness sake, if he don't recognise that this is possibly his best ever chance in his career to get a ring as long as he just go along with what the coach wants, he's definitely an idiot.
This is not even including the rumours where he supposedly thinks he's better than Kyrie. Good luck with him thinking he's going to get enough shots off in OKC.

What's going on with the Raptors, that four losses in a row for us now
I knew missing DeRozan would be a blow, but defense has just been trully appalling which is unacceptable considering Casie is a defensive coach.

Didn't realise he was full of it like that.
Impressive home debut from Waiters. Big 3 at the end to clinch it. Sloppy from the Thunder still though. Durant bailing out Brooks again with some good play late in the last. No idea what is going on with his rotations. Lamb and Jones seem to have been frozen out, and Jackson appears out the door. Meanwhile Adams looked super impressive the last month or so and suddenly he is losing minutes to Perkins, who is just
Brooks is a horrible coach, that's it really.Impressive home debut from Waiters. Big 3 at the end to clinch it. Sloppy from the Thunder still though.

Yeah I'm starting to want him gone. Obviously when Thunder were making conference finals and stuff it would have been a tough decision but he's struggling now even with a healthy roster. But if Durant and Westbrook like him then he won't be going anywhere.
Yeah, it's tough. But after seeing how well Steve Kerr has done with the Warriors, surely Westbrook and Durant must be starting to question if Brooks is holding them back. If they don't get a title soon, their window will be over soon as I don't see Westbrook agreeing to stay with them and being second fiddle to Durant anymore. He's too good to not being the star of his own team.

Teams are adjusting to the schemes that saw the Raptors spring out the gate. They'll be fine come playoff time. Same thing is happening with the Grizzlies.
The only consistent team right now is the Warriors.
Could see him succeed Kobe as the main star for the Lakers.
Love and Westbrook together for a UCLA reunion on the Lakers would be something to see
Pau with a monster game, 46/18
Pau has been unreal this season, he's also the second only ever player to get 40+ pts and 15pts rebounds for the Bulls after Jordan. Bulls getting him as a FA has easily been the best bit of business in the off season.
I was unhappy when Pau was let go by Lakers this summer but I think it was the best move for him. Probably Lakers long term as well. He needed a change of scenery and I'm glad he's thriving. One of my favourite players.
Whiteside's line vs the Clippers: 23 points (10-13), 16 rebounds, 2 blocks, 2 steals, 0 turnovers in 29 minutes.
Hawks blew out the Wizards. They are 1st in the East and a legitimate contender.
Came here to post that. What the feck was KG on about?
He's a "tough guy". Either way Houston got the win, and Howard got to stay on the court, so he definitely lost.
In other news, Detroit has just beaten Toronto away (9-1 now since Smith left), and now they've proven that their initial run wasn't really because they were meeting inferior opponents, they're genuinely (much) better without Smith.
Who would have thought Detroit would make the playoffs this year??

Still them making the play-offs is not a sure thing.
RIP Pau Gasol trending on twitter. Genuinely shat myself, then i saw what it actually was about.
I know, they're still a couple of games behind, but I just think that momentum and confidence at this point of the season is more important than 2 more losses.
I think they'll end up replacing Brooklyn in the top 8, and it will be down to Miami to fix their problems to finish higher than Detroit.
Another good night for Whiteside (15 points 7-9, 9 rebounds, 5 blocks, 0 turnovers in 21 minutes). What an ugly game though.
Gotta love ESPN highlights, showing Cavs highlights in the game they lost. Suns inexperience showed late in the 3rd, but Markieff Morris continue to develop into one of the clutchest player in the league. Love, James, Jones couldn't stop him at all. And Alex Len is gonna be a good player
How long before a game the teams are forced to announce the precise line-ups?? I have bets depending on the Mavericks but they seem to have Dirk, Rondo and Chandler "resting".. Gonna be tight it's 59-50 Denver at HT..
Going to see The Knicks play the Bucks in London tonight.
A bit of a shit game, but meh, NBA in London.

Rockets doing what they want with the Thunder currently.
Kobe channeling Magic today and Bryan Scott surely has to be in on the tanking, how else could you explain Price playing so much more than Lin. Hell, Nick Young played so many minutes despite shooting bricks all game.
Spurs> OKC >GS > Houston > Clippers > Dallas > Memphis > Portland
Time to revise my top 8 i feel. Phoenix looking quite good too but I'll stick with the original 8
Golden state has gotta be number 1. That team is just so deep. Rim protection might hurt them.
I'll keep OKC second and push the spurs down to 5. Houston and Clippers can stay in positions 3/4
Memphis moves ahead of dallas too.

No way will OKC pull back enough games to get second. They are struggling to get enough to get the 8th spot.
I wasn't referring to their playoff seeding , more who I think would be favorites to make it out of the west.
I did think that might be what you meant but wasn't sure. In that case it makes more sense. Think I'd have Memphis higher though.
Haven't seen much of GS this year. Watching them today-they are scary good. It's like watching the Globetrotters-except they're doing it against NBA opponents.
