I’m not trying to hex them but they have like everything I would look for in a dark horse title winner. They have a great team this year.
Torkzilla
The fact that Chris Paul even speaks word one to Scott Foster at all given the shared history is pretty insane. Basically every game is a give me a reason game for Foster.

For everyone saying Allen Iverson, he only played in 14 playoff series in his entire career and was 6-8 with a lot of 1st / 2nd round losses. He shouldn’t make anyone’s top ten list.
The Pistons haven’t won a playoff game in 15 seasons. I thought for sure after the last few years they would have accumulated OKC-level talent via the draft but they just cannot hit on a single pick. The team has been so poorly managed for so long it’s embarrassing.
They old Kenny.
I actually don’t think this one is on the refs. There have been a lot of shithousing assholes making dirty and dangerous plays across the league this year. I’d chalk it up to the league being far more competitive than it has been in years past, but I feel like every squad has a guy or two who is fouling like mad.
Micah Richards is the worst sports commentator I have ever seen in any sport. He’s a fucking moron. I have to mute the TV any time he is on because of sound clips exactly like this one with no added insight of any kind whatsoever. It’s like he and Jamie Carragher both huff glue before they get in the champions league booth. I don’t know who either of these gentleman have blackmailed to have the jobs they do now.
If I’m coaching AD I don’t want him outside of the paint ever on either end of the court.
