Pound The Rock

We check in on the increasingly moribund Pistons after a winless November, before turning our attention to the NBA Cup now that the eight-team field for the knockout stage has been set. Has the in-season tournament been a success in year one? What can or should change in the future? How do people around the league feel about it? And which matchup are we most excited about? After that, we take stock of the teams that have confused us most so far this season, including the Bucks, Clippers, Lakers, Pelicans, Cavs, Spurs, and Hawks.
