https://youtu.be/lc-62nJ6Mkk The Rockets gave Christian Wood a lot of money. Not a TON of money, especially when compared to some of the eye-watering deals that have been handed out recently, but a lot of money considering that Wood was only really good for about one-half of one season. In the past, maybe they would’ve waited…

Christian Wood All 113 Dunks Full Highlights (2019-20 Season Dunkilation)
Sitting at his locker well after all of his teammates had gone home, Christian Wood pondered the nature of happiness. He knew he was supposed to be sad that his team had just lost to the Jazz. He supposed that there was a part of him that was feeling genuine sadness. But was he, then,…

Nothing feels real anymore. I’m sitting here trying to organize my thoughts and then everything just falls apart again. Christian Wood put on the most dominating performance of his life, and completely made Joel Embiid into Joel Embiitch, but it’s like it didn’t even happen. Rudy Gobert got the coronavirus. Other players and coaches might…

Christian Wood continues his aptly-named “Demolition Tour ’20” with another demolition of yet another team, this time the New York Knickers. His teammates failed to step up and the Pistons only scored 84 points in their loss to the inferior New York team, but I don’t think that minimizes the quality of this demolition. In…

Christian Wood opened his eyes and, unexpectedly, saw another pair of eyes staring directly into his own. “Ah!” The other man was not perturbed by Christian’s surprise. He continued to hold his head directly over Christian’s. “I’m glad you’re awake. I was thinking you would never come around.” With those words, Christian immediately thought that…

It’s easy to be on the Christian Wood hype train now that Wood has been unleashed following the Andre Drummond trade. He’s regularly putting up efficient, high-scoring performances that might even be introducing his name to casual fans. Okay, that’s probably not true, since most casuals couldn’t name a single player currently on the Pistons’…

It’s crazy how much more fun Christian Wood is to watch than nowadays Blake Griffin, his rival at the power forward spot for the Pistons. Well, they were rivals until Griffin went down with an injury. Now Wood is unrivaled. Back to the comparison. Griffin definitely played his heart out every time he was on…

The Pistons, before this game, had not notched a victory in the post-Drummond era. The era, to this point, was marked by Christian Wood starting, and putting up huge numbers, but the Pistons losing anyway. That’s kind of been the question with Wood. He’s a fine player, but can he contribute to a winning team?…

To conclusively prove Christian Wood’s superiority over the recently departed Andre Drummond (departed from the Pistons, that is, not departed from life), I am going to, without bias, analyze each point that Wood scores in this game to determine whether Drummond would have scored in that situation. Let’s get started! 0:03 – Wood does a…

I love that the question regarding the future of Christian Wood’s NBA career has gone from “Should the Pistons cut Christian Wood so that they can keep Joe Johnson?” to “How big of a contract is Christan Wood going to get in a free-agent marketplace that is lacking star power?” While Joe Johnson’s old body…
