Full disclosure — I did not watch the Detroit Pistons get absolutely waxed by 36 points by the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday night. I had no particular foresight about the impending doom, but in a complete stroke of luck decided to throw in a couples movies and enjoy the evening being wowed by Dunkirk (very good, tense) and American Made (shockingly fun, like if Goodfellas and Ocean’s 11 had a Tom Cruise baby).
I will also be skipping out on tonight’s festivities against the Houston Rockets. More movies await. Still, last night’s performance begs the question — could it happen all over again versus a superior Houston Rockets team?
