100% done for the time being, Mike. Muted the word "Pistons" on twitter, and not paying attention anymore. I've been screaming to the high heavens to boycott this team, if no one else will listen, I'll listen to myself. Pathetic franchise.
A 14 percent chance to win to number-one pick is not very high. Better than a 3 percent chance, but it’s still a pretty long shot. The change to this system came about to keep teams from tanking to gain the number one pick.
The NBA draft incentivize teams who try, you don't have to take to win the lottery you could be a run of the mill team and still have a chance to win the lottery this is intentional. But none of you want to sign any free agents so this is what I get
Nobody in their right mind can claim the lottery isn't rigged. It's not "flawed," it's flat-out rigged! Isn't it convenient that the year after LeBron left Cleveland for Miami Cleveland conveniently gets a lottery pick 3 straight years, and 2 lottery picks in the same year! Yet the Pistons can't get a lottery pick in 3 years when they're the worst team in basketball! That is precisely why I stopped watching basketball once the Pistons started sucking and the lottery obviously being rigged!
It’s (the Pistons future) not hopeless Mike. We’ve got one of the youngest team in the league. Building a franchise is trying to win while also being patient with player development. We haven’t seen peak Cade, Duren, or Ausar yet.
Okay last comment lol. Abdul should’ve brought up the draymond green suspension that happened in the afternoon the day after game 4. And it was a technical foul UPGRADED to a flagrant foul the day after the game…
No team had EVER dropped from 1 to 5 in the history of the NBA Draft Lottery… It’s now happened to the Detroit Pistons TWO years in a row. It's not the fact they didn't finish with the #1 pick, it's the fact they didn't get picks #2-#4 in back to back years that screams the system in broken. (And Mike is right, play-in teams have no business in the lottery)
I’m done with the pistons. I like NBA, can’t stand to see anything pistons related. Dumpster fire of a franchise, at least I was still entertained by the lions even at their worst, pistons are just depressing.

8:25 glad Stoney had the balls to say it.
This is an elite combo
Begging for Stoney to come out of retirement and replace Rico, the difference in show quality is night and day
yay Rico is gone happy Monday
Draft lotteries have always been flawed! I hated that baseball added it, guardians shouldn’t have the #1 pick either
Abdul, please call in more often. That was hilarious.

Wasn’t Stoney a Wolverine I thought ?
This is the duo right here. The chemistry is elite
the proof of nba rigging came out in the Daughnehey affair — the lottery being rigged is another thing and probably not real
Stoney>Rico not even close
The concept of the draft lottery is insulting.
A 14 percent chance to win to number-one pick is not very high.
Better than a 3 percent chance, but it’s still a pretty long shot.

All Gores had to do was bribe Adam Silver with a couple adolescent boy toys
Stop answering the Phone. You have a first rate show with great content until you answer the phone.
HOU got it because of BKN deal, it wasn’t their original pick. When Detroit has Darko at #2 it was then having Memphis pick.
Great segment. #chemistry
Detroit just needs too sell this team too some place that the league don't down right dispise

If we had gotten the number 1 pick 3 years in a row they would scramble to change the system

It’s broken because the odds don’t make much sense. How does the worst team in the league have only a 14% chance against the number one pick

NBA ratings are NOT on the rise…Stony said that without knowledge or facts…Love the NBA, but just saying the facts here.
Pistons were, I believe, 18th in the NBA in attendance. For whatever reason, the Pistons still have fans.
No team had EVER dropped from 1 to 5 in the history of the NBA Draft Lottery…

Abdul does sound like a idiot tho fr
