The Pistons are unwatchable...

...And I don't mean that because I don't have cable I can't view the games, either. I know Joe D doesn't like tanking, but this team looks like a team in full-on tank mode. Brandon Knight is injured but is listed as day-to-day, Drummond is out but could be back sooner rather than later... I'm watching these guys, because right now this team has no firepower and they can't stop anyone. If March goes by and neither returns, tank mode is official.

Also, indications are... indicating... that Lawrence Frank is a terrible coach. This should come as little shock to anyone, since he's been mis-managing his personnel all year. Frank stated he would've put Drummond in the starting lineup against Brooklyn on 2/6/13 if Drummond hadn't been injured. Really. On top of that the Pistons made zero defensive improvements on last year's team, despite having a whole off-season to learn Frank's defense AND finally having a rim-protecting presence (which Frank only played about 20min/game).

Anyway, all this has cause me to start trolling the ESPN NBA Draft page (Shabazz, Porter & Oladipo are all potentially in range!) and to ponder what coaches might be available this off-season (I like Nate McMillian better than SVG), in addition to free agents. 

In NFL Combine news, my guy Dee Milliner finished with a pretty sweet 4.37 40 time, and Xavier Rhodes had a somewhat slower (but still respectable) 4.43 time. 

And now for some semi-sports related entertainment:

Arnold telling stories is good stuff, but nothing beats this one.
