NBA
Great in-season tournament run for the Pacers and it really showed the stardom of Tyrese Haliburton to the rest of the NBA. The Pacers players will really be enjoying their 200K in Las Vegas.

If the NBA wants to keep the tournament in a neutral location then I think an out of country city like London, Mexico City, or maybe somewhere in Germany or Japan as the location for the game. I also think it would be cool to have the game in Madison Square Garden as well. But overall what city would you like to host the championship if the NBA moves away from Vegas?
“For the Finals, we could have a special Finals court — not just with the (Larry O’Brien) trophy in the center, but a little bit more colorful,” Silver said.
Silver said fans have communicated to him that: “If they’re not at home or in a sports bar or somewhere and they see the color from the court, it signifies there’s something different going on.” He said players from both the Lakers and Pacers told him Friday they “appreciated … that the different color courts signified that the game was special.”
Silver said the other most controversial component of his IST — using point differentials as a tiebreaker — would be under review.

I remember listening to this on JJ Redick's podcast a few months/years ago and they basically discussed how whenever discussion about basketball takes place, the skill peaked in the 90s/00s and today's game requires no skill. Most other sports acknowledge the game evolves and the players become better. But, when it comes to basketball, it's always "X player would never have have lasted in the 90s."
They acknowledge the talent shift from 60s to 90s but then, apparently, it just gets worse? I guess another question to add onto this, the veterans of old seem to run with this idea as well and casuals piggyback off of it. The casual fan not understanding the nuances of the evolution of offensive schemes and motions is understandable but then you have current legends saying similar things. That typical "there's no defense anymore" take. Then you have other legends saying today's players are inferior to their past peers. From Charles Oakley saying Giannis would come off the bench in the 90s to Iggy saying Rasheed Wallace playing today would be a top 5 player in the NBA.
So, I guess what I'm asking is a mixed take of why NBA legends come off a lot saltier than other sports players and why the casual opinion of the NBA is that it's regressed over the decades.
Anthony Davis was on a mission tonight! He utterly dominated offensively and defensively tonight to lead the Lakers to become the first NBA In-Season Tournament winner and the NBA Cup.

For all you historians out there, we might be on the verge of a new record or two being broken.
The Detroit Pistons are currently on a 19 game losing streak.
The record for longest losing streak in a single season is 26 games. The Cavaliers dropped 26 straight during the 2010-2011 season. The Sixers also lost 26 straight in 2014.
The record for longest losing streak over multiple seasons is 28 games. This was done by the Sixers over the course of the 2014-2015 season and the 2015-2016 season.
The next ten games for the Pistons feature some pretty tough opponents. They are as follows:
-
Mon, Dec 11 vs Indiana
-
Wed, Dec 13 vs Philadelphia
-
Fri, Dec 15 @Philadelphia
-
Sat, Dec 16 @Milwaukee
-
Mon, Dec 18 @Atlanta
-
Thu, Dec 21 vs Utah
-
Sat, Dec 23 @ Brooklyn
-
Tue, Dec 26 vs Brooklyn
-
Thu, Dec 28 @ Boston
-
Sat, Dec 30 vs Toronto
What do you guys think? Will we see a new record for longest losing streak by the end of the month?
