With the Hornets reeling as of late, we need a W to stop the bleeding in the worst way. Cue the dink and doink entrace music. Here come the Timberwolves. Not to mention that the Cavaliers play the Bucks, the Thunder play the Heat and Detroit and Boston play each other.

If the Cavs and thunder take care of business and the Pistons manage to get over on the Celtics - we just need to knock off the lowly Wolves to get back in the playoffs after a terrible road trip. Please let this happen oh great Basketball gods!

Agreed. fug it, tank and try to get passed by a team or two. Get a top ten pick and start again next year. I always want the Panthers to make the playoffs because you don't have to be the best team just the best team of two on one day. It's different in the nba. We'd be lucky to win two games much less a championship this year.

Kevorkian? Because this skid started with a loss to a Kings team that ended up sweeping us in games we had to have. And even if we win here, still have to go to Chicago and then face Brooklyn at home. There's a chance Brooklyn might actually be ahead of us at the end of that stretch.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
