Keep pushing , keep winning. 3 seed doesn’t seem out of the question right now.

Between the officiating, the play by play by scal and mannix, and the quality of basketball played on the court I can safely say that was one of the hardest games to watch in recent memory. That being said it was a strong close out and at the end of the day a win is a win!

TPs for all!

19pts, 6ast, only 1 TO. 8-12 from the field, 3-5 from 3pt. Game ball goes to Payton Pritchard.

agreed.. best game of the year for him?

Ime should try and find some minutes for Theis to spell Rob and Al.

Even 10 min a game will help those guys stay fresh.

Agree with all that Payton was the spark today. I thought he was looking pretty lost in the 1st half especially on defense but what a strong effort in the 2nd half. Pretty upset with White's performance tho. He was definitely lost out there. Maybe the early start time?? It was what 11am in detroit?

Seems that Ime would rather use Horford than Theis in a highly physical game.

D-White not good today.

Yea everyone seemed a little off today, especially in the first half.. With the snow storm I wonder what time they arrived in Detroit. Do you think they flew out this morning for a 12 PM start? Or late last night once the weather settled down?

FYI Detroit is the same time zone.

Play Pritchard!!!

5 minutes a game is not enough. This dude has Van Fleet material written all over him. Heckuva shooter, scorer, and also knows how to move the ball. Defensively, sure, needs to get better. But you can’t get better on the bench.

Heckuva draft pick here.

Hope we don't meet Detroit in the playoffs 

Besides Pritchard today I thought Grant played well as well as Smart. Of course we expect a lot from the J's but from the others. I really expected to see a little Theis today but he can't seem to get into the rotation with how Rob, Al & Grant are playing.

I think Ime thinks that Theis=Enes....which is completely wrong.

[Donoghus]

Let's hope Gorman is back for tomorrow's game.

I don't think I can put up with another Scal/Mannix collaboration.

I think it might be.

Agreed. I like Scal, but Mannix is brutal. His voice is my Mary Hart.

Second the sentiment that Theis has to get some minutes. Cannot burn out TL and Al in the regular season.

Ime also didn't adjust the defense when it was obvious that DET was getting to the middle too easily. We have to tighten that up.

Final insight, White had his worst game with the Cs.
