That was a fairly effective stretch of ball there for Brown. Only two points but 2 steals, big block, 2 assists nice defense.

I guess for some people that = trash

I mean, the dude was getting constantly scored on, blew a wide open fastbreak due to poor ballhandling, and had two TOs that made up for his two steals.

Not sure why some people on here are so overprotective of Brown and get butthurt when he gets rightly criticized. Just because he's played less bad than he has the past two games doesn't mean he's still not playing like trash.

Brown wasn't constantly getting scored on.  No one is getting butt hurt, but your post just wasn't accurate.

He was not consistently scored on, I dont think he was scored on more than once or twice on a man he was guarding. One of those turnovers was a bad traveling call. And not for nothing but judging by the fact he was out there at the end of the half I'd say Brad would agree he played well.

I mean, it *literally* is true. Went back and rewatched (with the help of fast forward) all of the first half possessions with Brown in them. Below are all the possessions Brown was scored on either as the man's primary defender in the halfcourt set or through bad fastbreak defense, leading to 13 points of Detroit's 57 in the first half, or 1/5 of Detroit's points. Some were worse than others, but most of them were due to Brown biting on fakes, not staying engaged with off-the-ball defense, or poor fastbreak defense not recognizing the need to pick up the lead man.

2:38 of 1st quarter (bad fastbreak defense)

1:24 of 1st quarter

34.0 of 1st quarter (bad fastbreak defense)

10:24 of 2nd quarter

8:11 of 2nd quarter

6:04 of 2nd quarter

So, yeah, he wasn't very good out there defensively for us, and most of it goes back to his poor BBIQ and propensity to bite on every ball/shot fake.

And while his one traveling call was definitely a bad call, both of his steals were him happening to be in the right place at the right time with someone else actually forcing the turnover.
You are going through some major mental gymnastics to prove a point because you got something up your butt for Brown. I know one of your bad fast break bad defenses is the Stanley Johnson drive and that wasn't bad defense. It was just he and Smart were couldn't get back in position on an extremely good run to the rim by Johnson.

And since I know you are wrong about that, excuse me if I call into question your other claims of bad defense.

This is some joke officiating. Two completely different standards of what constitutes a foul out there.

Smart has been making winning plays all 3rd quarter.

It's too bad nobody else is really showing up.

Maybe Brad could inject some spark by inserting Semi or Williams off the bench.

Smart shoots C’s back in — looked like it was heading to over.

Would have like that last shot.  Man, a ton of missed layups due to worried shots in the paint.

Yeah both those two threes I did my Marcus don't shoot that one wince, which of course means that he drains them.

end of the 1/4 push really gives a chance in this one.

C's not out of it but they're going to need to improve that D immensely to pull this off.  offense has been too easy for Detroit this game

Hayward has been straight up awful.  Not just offensively but he's been completely lost on defense on plays, including that last one.
