A 2024 Warriors pick and Malcolm Borogdon are sure to make that happen

The currently lottery-bound 2024 Warriors?

Yeah, the other side to that is every team is laser focused and likely playing their A game which is rare in this long *** season. Poor Pistons
This is the cruel irony. Teams are getting fired up for Pistons games in December because of the streak whereas normally a bottom-feeder team might get a break once in a while and be able to steal a win. The Pistons come to my city for two back-to-back games (over three days) at the end of January. It will really suck if they haven't won by then - will probably be a playoff-like atmosphere in the area.

Well.....kind of, yeah? I mean, they could conceivably have two picks in the top 10 in 2024 with the way the Warriors are playing and a needy team at the deadline could certainly overpay for the reigning 6 Man of the Year. This is how you rebuild in the NBA, guy. Not sure why this is hard to understand.

Nobody wants to be the team who ends the Pistons streak. That's the kind of stuff that people remember. The Kings are playing in Detroit on January 9th. After just losing convincingly to another bad team on the road, this makes me nervous.

What team ended the Sixers record 28-game streak?

Kobe went 7 for 26 (4/17 from 3) to secure the loss.

That was a bad team the Lakers rolled out for Kobe's farewell tour.

I could see the Celtics losing to the Pistons tonight. Brown is out, Tatum and Porzingas have been nursing injuries, and the C's could go ice cold from three-point land. The Pistons could put forth more effort and hang around all game, and we all know Boston has been known to take their foot off the gas. Some games, everyone else stands around and watches Tatum chuck threes as their offense in the last 5 minutes of games. Add in a bunch of Boston turnovers, and it could happen.

ETA: Honestly I see a Hauser or Pritchard masterpiece from 3 tonight and the Celtics cruise to a victory.

Mostly because of Kobe. Of the 8 guys who played the most minutes, Kobe had by far was the worst shooter at a terrible 35.8% from the floor. Oh and he averaged less than 3 assists and less than 4 rebounds a game

Kobe ranked 117 out of 117 in shooting % (out of players that qualified) and 116 of 117 in effective FG%. Also ranked 107 out of 107 in 3P%. His WS/48 was -.001 (190 out of 191 players). His last year was the opposite of good.

These Sixers just feel different, having an actual coach.

real coach and no Harden is a good start to winning championships

The Pistons starters are Bogdanovic and 4 lottery picks who can’t legally drink beer.

Good tweet I saw: Celtics Pistons has the feel of a 15 seed trying to hold a lead against a 2 seed in March Madness

This game makes me feel old.
Back in my day, a 19-point lead was insurmountable, especially if you were playing the Pistons. Nowadays it don't mean nothing, especially if you're playing the Pistons.

I'm glad I tuned into the 4th. Elimination game type atmosphere.

That's exactly what it feels like. Fun game.

Agreed. He certainly isn't the only one, but man, many times it is unwatchable.

No doubt. If Brook Lopez didn't play for the Bucks, I'd hate him, too, for the same reason.

Add KAT and Kyle Lowry to the list

I thought bringing in Williams was a good move. Figured they’d be bad but not historically bad. They haven’t won since October 28th! Unreal.

My wife almost bought me a Tatum t-shirt she found on sale for Christmas, but my son talked her out of it because he knows how I feel about him.
I'm conflicted on him because, yes, he is our best player and a top 10 player in the world. I also like his work ethic as he seems to improve from season to season and plays almost every game.
However, his whining to refs (mainly this) and poor shot selection drive me crazy. He also doesn't defend well all the time. My son knows all this and knew I wouldn't really want a Tatum jersey or shirt because I dislike him as often as I like him.
I told her if you get me anyone, get me a Jrue Holiday jersey. I've loved his game forever, was a major reason I rooted for the Bucks when they won it all and is a major reason this is the best shot the Celtics have had to win it all since I've been a fan of theirs.
