Wouldn't mind if a few of our shooters turned into makers for a while, lol.  JB is off to a good start behind the arc, and Hauser is Hauser, but we're getting a lot of bricks from some dudes I usually feel good about when they pull up to fire.

Score 60 points in a half you think you would be winning. Got off to a great start and did what they have done all year so far. Bench is rough

Surprisingly rough start for Mr. Reliable. He?ll be back - maybe even this half.

This team is missing Tatum and then one other legit big man starter. How they get that guy who knows but then they could have a path to contention.

Pritchard gotta go up instead of kicking out to White on that one.  Robinson ain't blocking any shots at the rim, lol.

It often feels to me that Jalen Duren plays smaller than he actually is.

He has such an imposing physique and length / athleticism. Yet he rarely intimidates with it. As a defender. Or as a rebounder. Or as an interior scorer / finisher.

Weak foul call on White. Then he compounds his error by calling the T.
Recovering Joe Skeptic, but inching towards a relapse.

Did DWhite really do anything to earn like the 2nd technical of his career? These refs are atrocious! My question is, will Joe have the balls to ever challenge a call this year? If he has used one challenge this year, I missed it.

Duncan Robinson doesn't fit well on that Pistons team. He needs more ball and player movement in the halfcourt. He is very good off the ball. He keeps moving. He creates problems for people with his movement and opportunities for teammates through his movement.

But on this Pistons team the ball doesn't move. It sticks.

They do not have enough ball-handlers & passers. It is mostly just Cade. Then Ausar Thompson makes some ugly hard to watch move. Duncan Robinson makes 1-2 runs / movements off ball and then he becomes a statue. A straight spot up shooter. A waste of his abilities.

Duren doing a good job earning some FTs. Some of it is just awkward defending by BOS. Some of it Duren using his size well.

This is embarrassing. Pistons aren't even playing well.

Down 88-74 now.

Out so just following via box score and talking to my dad about how they are playing, how is it that PP, the shortest guy on the court, has the most rebounds for the team? That?s kind of embarrassing and speaks to a lack of effort from the rest of them.
Any odd typos are because I suck at typing on an iPhone :D

This team is worse than even I expected. Getting 30 wins is going to be a chore. Roster might be the worst since the KG/PP trade.

Cannot defend. Cannot rebound. Just awful basketball.
