Detroit has lost 11 in a row. If the playoffs started now we wouldn't be in them. That's just as well. The problem is that I don't see how Dumars changes this team around anytime soon. I certainly hope there is some trade for a functional big man before the deadline. That probably means giving up Rip and (hopefully) Maxiell or Stuckey. But since Rip and Maxiell both recently signed contract extensions, who would want to give value for them?


"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungleā€”as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
