The shotmaking on this young Pistons team is incredible. Posters default to blaming the defense, the reality is the Pistons are consistently hitting well defended shots.

We’ll see how long they’re able to keep doing that.

With our team, I know there’ll be a big run soon (especially at home).

Need to get some production out of the bench in the second half. Would also like to see Tatum cover Cunningham. Smarts doing a decent job, but he’s at a height disadvantage. JB’s movement is compromised and his defense hasn’t been great. White is too short and doesn’t have the strength. Grant is too slow.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

14% from 3 and no bench.

This will be another interesting test for the team to pull out a win while shooting terrible from 3.

Maybe Pritchard and Williams combine for more than 2 shots.

According to the Bloodhound gang the bench (roof) is on fire.

These refs are painfully awful tonight.. Especially that last challenged play was 3 fold. Joseph's heel was out of bounds, he traveled on the pump fake, and Tatum wasnt even close to touching him and the ref tried to give them 3 free throws LOL.

I also think the challenge rule should be if its successful you keep getting your challenge back. Gorman was trying to argue that the game could be delayed if you were successful 8 times in a row.. that sounds like a referee issue to me if they are wrong on 8 plays. Get better
everyone got so sensitive after 9-11... thanks alot bin laden

I'm not seeing the number one defense in the NBA out there.

Would the Celtics even beat the Pistons in a 7-game playoff series  :P
