The NBA SCREWS the Detroit Pistons!

The NBA SCREWS the Detroit Pistons!

They’re going on and after every game it’s just a complaint Fest especially when they scenes that they’ve done from a from a defensive standpoint and a lack of hustle to be able to cost themselves as well but last night was one of those games where they did what they were

Supposed to do and the game got taken from them another thing the whole video with K Cunningham it looked like he’s kind of going off a manty Williams this team okay when you talk about the trust between a player and a coach what you actually saw there was K Cunningham

Venting to Monte Williams when you feel like you can go to your coach and you can vent and can’t express it’s because behind the scenes it’s because you guys are actually in the trenches together yeah that’s what that means Kade was going off on the refs he went to all

Three refs then came to the sideline and talked to somebody who he knew would listen who he knew is going to stand up for him there’s a lot of things that we can criticize Monty Williams about and we have we have but last night last

Night man I hope as I got to Detroit vers everybody’s shirt on I really hope that this starts to stoke a fire within the Detroit Pistons I do believe that they have a good a decent young core of talent a good young group of talent I

Really do but I hope that this team understands like we said yesterday you have to go out there and you have to take your respect like you said in the open like you said in the open no matter what we know the right call to be or not

To be this NBA does some weird weird things and they have how long have we been it’s not just the NBA we’ve been Detroit sports fans forever we’ve seen this happen Detroit versus everybody it ain’t just about sports it’s about what goes on on the whole man we see Detroit

Instead of the the world and the country get behind say you know what they’re one of ours no it’s hey let’s throw in crack jokes about them being in bankruptcy instead of us hey Detroit is on the way back up hey no let’s continue to bring

Up the same old stupid digs that we’ve brought up for many many many years instead of actually saying you know what these people are about pulling themselves up out a bootstrap and moving forward on their own Peril we got people out there that just want to continue to

Make it that much more difficult and when it does start to bleed over into our Sports World is it as consequential as some of the personal digs no but does it sting yes it does especially when you know these players are going out there to represent us to represent Detroit to

Try and put on for us because they know that the fans are still support man I was at the game Saturday night against the magic I don’t know why that many of you people were there but you were there you deserve better you deserve better than last night the Pistons deserve

Better than last night when they actually do what they’re supposed to do when you take it from them and all you can do at the end of the game is like yeah we admit in the in the referee’s two-minute pool report yeah we admit we admitted yeah it was a foul sorry what

You going to do about it what you going to do about it you know what if the Pistons don’t take this opportunity and I get it there’s a lack of Talent on this squad there’s a lot more they have to do from a personal standpoint but take this and run through every brick

Wall you can the rest of the season have some pride have some dignity and realize nobody’s coming to bail you out you do it yourselves or it’s not happening for you have pride do not set that franchise low and win record go out there push for 17 plus wins I don’t care what’s

Happening to you and continue to fight for each other because nobody else is going to continue to play for each other cuz nobody else is going to that’s what this is about Embrace this now Embrace this now don’t embrace the last 15 years of Detroit Pistons basketball Embrace

Detroit versus everybody and go out there and continue to play for us because last night to me was a travesty man it it just was like I just I hate that in sports when we talk about sportsmanship and fair play and all this other crap bro that needs to be AC

Crossing entire board the entire board FL I see you over there man what you sck a need in my balloon man nothing nothing nothing all right so that is a lot to unpack and uh shout shout out to you Kool-Aid because uh You’ve Got The

Insider look at a lot of things that uh we certainly don’t here’s where I will push back slightly and kg you already know what’s coming because you got a taste of it yesterday Ong I was waiting I think to and I get it the last couple

Of nights they had chances to get wins over playoff teams one on the road at New York and one at home over uh Orlando those would have both been very very nice wins and the climax of those games pause ended up being a uh based on a

Questionable call to uh say the uh to uh put it nicely I think the Pao one in real time didn’t look like traveling in my opinion but when it when you sold it down obviously it was but last night the dive on aar’s legs was uh that was

Obviously egregious and he should have been awarded two free throws and uh they should have been up by hopefully two or three with the Nicks getting one last chance but anywh who I think to kind of boil down these last couple of nights to just Detroit versus

Everybody is a little bit too simplistic I think it’s more a young bad franchise versus everybody I don’t think it’s Detroit specific because when you think about it the Detroit pistons and I know we love the team I know you’re a credentialed reporter for the team

There’s no real reason for the league to respect them at this point other than every single NBA team deserves respect and deserves to be officiated fairly which I believe is the right way to go but we all know it doesn’t exactly work that way this is a Pistons team that uh

A season after winning 17 games you get your franchise player back and you might end up winning less this is a a team that is probably going to win some in somewhere in the 90s of games and Five Seasons you’re not going to get the benefit of the doubt ever no matter what

Team you were are if this was the Washington Wizards who are also very terrible they’re not going to be getting the benefit of the doubt if it was the um the bad years of the Cleveland Cavaliers after LeBron left they’re not going to get the benefit of the doubt

It’s just to me it’s not a product of Detroit versus everybody in this case it’s a product of it’s a product of no no no no no cuz when LeBron left they didn’t get the benefit of the doubt but they got the draft pick okay fine the

Draft pick K cam was the number one overall pick man are you kidding me K Cunningham was a number one overall pick I know that a lot of people want to just and they don’t treat him like that LeBron got the benefit of the doubt K

Isn’t get easy this isn’t the last two games this is his career look at the free throws bro top five in drives and a man can’t get free throws bro I said free throw no no this is the whole year there’s enough fat luck they’ve created for themselves but there’s enough that

The NBA does as well because they know like you said I’ll give you this they know they can do whatever they want to Detroit they know that and they know they can pin it on this well they’re just a bad team no call the game the

Right way and then let’s see if they’re a bad team let them sink or swim on their own that’s one of the things that I say about the Lions and about all of these other teams same thing I tell my kids as well bro I’m never going to

Raise them to just accept something being done to you I’m never going to do that I would not expect that out of you either don’t just let something be done to you this team has had it bad as it relates to even getting to the line too

Many times the game ends and there are other players on other team taking twice as many free throws as the Detroit Pistons it’s B bad bro it’s bad and for a young team if you want to talk about a young bad team the one thing that can absolutely disorient them is when the

Referees decide well we’re going to sway the game the one thing I’ve always stated I don’t give a crap up people oh don’t cry for foul don’t cry about the cost no referees can’t control the game they’re just as much a part of the game as everybody else I’m not sitting here

Saying that they gave him better will to the Pistons are sitting here in the playoffs but when you got a player like K Cunningham going out there averaging like 30 points a game with zero free throws and they’re losing these games a lot of these games a lot of these games

You go back and you look at their games they’re losing these things at the end when those types of calls matter man those things do matter they matter just all right all right so let me just respond really quick we’re saying more of the same we’re saying more of the

Same thing than you think I said in the beginning that uh I kind of like co-signed your sarcastic Clap That Kade finally got free throws I did that actually happened you can look back at the tape I I did say that I also said that the traveling call was missed the

Assar foul was missed and that is not right and I am upset about that my only thing was that it was to me more of an example of the Pistons not getting any respect because they have been a terrible franchise for 5 years than it just being Detroit you could point to

How Cleveland got draft picks but Kate Cunningham got draft got was was the number one overall pick people like to put their blinders on but the the problem with Kate Cunningham isn’t his play it’s not the fouls being called against him it’s the fact that he has

Missed what like he’s played 122 of a possible 220 games I get it it was heavily skewed by last year and hopefully he he gets better at that and I love Kate it’s just that to me the Detroit Pistons would be treated better if they weren’t terrible no they

Wouldn’t that’s why Detroit first everybody was there that’s why Detroit versus everybody no no no cuz I saw the 04 Pistons I I bro you go back and you look at any of these Detroit sports teams they’ve been better when they’ve been better it’s because of what they

Went out there and took it’s not because the league decided hey you know what we’re going to just start giving you guys file calls because you deserve it no I saw the Detroit Pistons have to go out there and win a championship despite the refs saying you know what we’re just

Not going to respect you guys cuz you guys don’t got the Stars I saw that with my own two eyes I saw that I saw the Detroit Lions go for years just getting here here you go I know you’re a playoff team this year guys but uh here’s your

Apology letter for uh for for screwing you guys over I saw that for years I saw the Detroit Tigers get screwed I’ve seen the Red Wings get screwed it doesn’t matter if they’re good or if they’re bad man it doesn’t matter Wings got screwed they were the biggest Dynasty in hocke

Took it because they went and they took it okay but they fought up against all here’s the thing and they could pay for it too the NBA is a little bit differently the going to work pistons and the bad boy Pistons would not have been ref the same way as this team they

May have gotten more fair foul calls I’m not asking them to give the Pistons something I’m just saying that other teams would have been refed more fairly I get it this Pistons team is refed egregiously it’s it’s just that they are not a franchise who the right now with

They’re record-wise and I don’t even necessarily blame them that is worthy of the NBA’s respect and I think that every team I think that every team deserves respect that’s disappointing because this fan base irregardless of what the Detroit Pistons have put on record this fan base continues to come out and if

NBA says that they’re about their fans they appeal to their fans they advertise to their fans and when you got and this is why I’m more mad you got to understand something this is not just about the Detroit Pistons I don’t believe that the Detroit Pistons are a

Playing away from you know based on how the referees refed them what this is about is this man when you go to this Arena when you kind of go out and you see Pistons fans across social media and you see that they’re engaged they are invested they deserve better there’s

Real money being paid There’s real time being spent by real people who continue to give this team something when you go to a game like you do on Saturday night and you see oh that arena is more than 50% full for a team no matter what the

Stats say hasn’t been that good over the Last 5 Years bro they deserve better and if you don’t care about us us as fans as supporters as observers I’m sorry bro that’s a disappointment and that should be a stain and a black guy on the lead

No but but to me and I know we have to go to break and I just want to I just want to respond by this it’s not and I and like I said the refs all of that they haven’t treated the Pistons fairly this year most certainly in the last

Couple of games but to me it’s more of a a product of the Pistons and the management and the team building and the coaching that has made them so bad that the Pistons fans aren’t experiencing any better I mean they’re 849 right now I get it kudos to Detroit

Pistons fans for showing up and still supporting this team but they’re 8 and 49 they’re not normal bad they’re about to maybe set their record for the worst record in franchise history I hope they don’t but can we definitively say that they’re not absolutely not so we can’t

We we we can’t I I I would obviously I would like to see them string together some wins and I think they proved in their last couple of games that if they get a break a break or two they might have won both of them but uh they’ve

Been more competitive we’ll they they have and Shout Shout Out shout out to them but uh the defensive numbers have gotten better for them and look I don’t love the R I love you though FL I love you it always stays on the desk because

Yes it does it does no no I’m telling you like a little bit of this it’s just a lot of the different narratives that you see out there and and a lot of the things that go on ultimately we all want our team to do well we just do we do This
