Christian Wood being unleashed on the Pistons makes them 1000% more watchable, in my opinion. My opinion doesn’t matter that much because I don’t have the time to just sit there and watch Detroit Pistons games, but it kinda does matter because I’m the leading expert on NBA watchability and you aren’t. Christian Wood has…

Christian Wood 27 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (2/7/2020)
Just four days ago, I wrote words that were almost frighteningly prophetic: “If Andre Drummond does get traded and no starting-caliber centers are received in return, then the date of that trade will mark the true beginning of the Christian Wood era in Detroit. The eras will be marked by the denotations B.C. (“Before Christ(ian)”)…

This game and the one before it were the first games of the season where Christan Wood got over thirty minutes of on-court action. His stats weren’t as utterly outrageous as I would have hoped for (17/5/1 last game, 21/8/1 this game), but it does bolster my newly-formed hypothesis that if you emphasized Wood in…

Andre Drummond has been implicated in trade rumors for a while now. The frenzied whispering between GM’s has heightened in volume to be more of like a loud conversation: “Hey we want Andre Drummond! Take our [garbage player] and our [large asset bundle] and you won’t have to worry about dealing with him in free…

I’ve made a big deal in the past over how Christian Wood benefited mightily from the tutelage of a certain back-to-back MVPer named Giannis Antetokounmpo. Meanwhile, Thon Maker received all those same teachings, and maybe he even internalized them, but his body just doesn’t have the ability to execute scoring moves like Wood’s does. That’s…

Since it is plainly obvious to me that Christian Wood is a key component of the Pistons’ future (while Andre Drummond and Blake Griffin are NOT considered to be so vital), I have started a local awareness campaign to make sure that the average person is aware that Wood needs to be getting thirty minutes…

Remember when Christian Wood basically replaced Anthony Davis on the Pelicans last year and did such a good job of it that AD sent a public tweet to LeBron (that was meant to be a DM) that said “if u knew how good that wood kid is, u would be recruiting him and not me….

Blake Griffin is done for the season. They surgically removed his knees and are patiently waiting for them to grow back. Until then, he’s not picking up a basketball, walking, or even leaving his hospital bed. That means there’s a bunch of minutes in Detroit that need to be filled by somebody, and I don’t…

The state of scoring on the Pistons isn’t super great right now. They have a bunch of players (as do most other NBA teams), but none of them are really what you’d call a “first option” at this point, either because of injury or because of their general lack of scoring skill. -Andre Drummond: can…

Christian Wood has proven time and time again that he is a certified bucket-getter. He has proven this with the certificate hanging in his locker that says “The University of Nevada – Las Vegas has conferred upon Christian Wood the degree of Bachelor of Science in Bucket Getting”. He has it framed and everything, it’s…
