At work till 7, should make it for the end.

Dragic with 3 fouls not good

I was watching the Piston's broadcast of the game and wow... you guys complain about our announcers. Their color guy might be the worst I have heard in any sport. His go to catch phrase is "Did you see that?!" Which he asks roughly every 3rd play.

This also is one of the worst attended games I've seen. That place looks 90% empty.

Screenshot someone posted on another forum of the crowd:

You must be registered for see images attach

That is during a mid 1st quarter timeout... yikes.

Speaking of yikes, this game is getting ugly. Our defense is non-existent right now.

I think Steve Albert is in the running for worst announcer but Eddie Johnson is just in the lower one third of analysts.

Wow! Is there a snowstorm in Detroit or something? I've been to summer league games that had better attendance.

Looks like everyone on the Suns is playing bad to night. Scola looks like the only one that knows the ball goes into the basket.

I know, there cant be more than 2 or 3k there. Im sure they will announce a crowd of like 10k, which should draw some laughter from the people in attendance.

A replay just showed the upperbowl and it looks completely empty.

I dont know that I've watched a game on TV where the players can be heard so well calling picks and plays.

 

[SweetD]

Lol during the halftime interview you can hear an echo throughout the stadium wow it is empty!!

Actually, I've thought that a few times this season. We don't even have an almost marquee player so when we play one of the bad teams the fans just stay home.

Maybe we could take all our old jerseys of good players and sell them that might bring a crowd lol

 

[SweetD]

Looks like Gortat might also have a right Quad issue. He has grabbed at it several times.

We could give it a try, maybe they'd like to buy my old Ronnie Lee jersey. I just realized that this might be a blessing for us in the long run though. I wonder how many more games we could have won in Utah if their fans had stayed home.

It is not the weather. Their current temperatures show a high of 39° and a low of 27°, clear and with humidity of 64 % and winds of 6 mph. 'Just a typical autumn day in Motown.

I guess two words summarize the lack of attraction.

Pistons. Suns.

He has the quad problem, but he is back on the court warming up for the 2nd half.

 

[sunsfan88]

Holy crap, I have never seen a NBA game with less people! Even high school games get more than this!

 

[sunsfan88]

Gortat is trash. I was one of his biggest fans when we first signed him but he has proven that he's nothing without Nash.

Its funny that he decline the contract extension. Because I'm pretty sure the next offer he's gonna get is going to be much lower than the one he declined.

 

[Phrazbit]

Just when my opinion of this teams potential was starting to evolve a little they go and drop a stink bomb like this. Ugly.

Foul trouble in the 1st resulting in our regular 2nd unit being mixed with starters seemed to totally disrupt our typically stout bench.

 

[SweetD]

This is going to be real ugly tonight.

 

[sunsfan88]

This is why I would like to see Gentry fired. Too many times the Suns come out flat. We come out unprepared and that is the HC's fault.

And please don't try to give me some BS about how the Pistons are way more talented that the Suns. Their not.

 

[desertdawg]

Yowza, rushed home for this?!!

 

[AzStevenCal]

This is our second night of a back to back and the refs apparently can't tell the difference between the basketball and our forearms. It's no surprise we're getting dominated. Good teams overcome these things, mediocre teams don't.

That and folks being flat broke in D-twah.
