Pistons (25-44) at Celtics (30-38) Game #69 3/22/15

[TheTruthFot18]

Which team do you think has more young talent, Orland or Detroit?

I'd much rather have Orlando. I think they are just one big piece away from contending next year.

That was a terrible meltdown at the end. oh well.

I hate seeing a 7 footer jack threes...esp when he vdoes little else....

i assume you mean olly here. olly is tied for the team lead for rebounds with 9. he is tied with bass, who played 6 more minutes.

olly is second on the team in assists tonight, behind turner.

box scores, they aren't just for breakfast anymore.

Didn't see that he had 9 rebs and 5 assists. That makes this game a little less bad for him, but his defensive lapses still killed us. He gave up so many easy points it wasn't even funny.

Where have you been all night?

TO KO, when your shooting is low %, go inside hard..!!! rebound, do everything else harder and your shot will come back..

He got the Jeff Green complex......rebounding and scraping inside is not in his DNA

agreed, but this is also a hopeful sign. i actually EXPECTED a victory tonight, and the celtics really should have had it. it makes me optimistic. 

i am still dumbfounded that after the rondo/green trades this team has gone on a tear of winning. amazing!!!

with a good draft, a free agent, maturation of the kids, and more CBS coaching i think next year this will be a credible playoff team.

I know one thing for sure, there was a big on the floor who did actually look terrible out there but once again, he will go unmentioned bc you guys like him. Seriously, gets a lot of pass all the time and that's my beef. Not that KO is playing well or not to talk about him playing poorly, I would just like people to start calling out others or it's beginning to look like you just don't like KO, sounding like a hater.

Sulking over Marcus not being there ......he is very important to this team on the court.....

KO has been terrible since the great game he played while his father was there.....he CAN play..that is why I am rough on him...

I find it so funny every time KO has a poor shooting night, it seems to mean he has had a bad game to a lot of you. His shooting was terrible but he did not have a terrible night. Now, when other bigs have terrible nights, I don't see it mentioned at all. I don't need to call those players out but it's time to call it fair if you're going to keep calling KO out. I mean I have seen some HORRIBLE nights by some people and the forum goes quiet on it!

Kelly not shooting the ball when he's open, is concerning. It has becomes standard operating procedure for him to up fake and pass the ball, when he's flat out open for a good shot.
Kelly's confidence is really fragile and it shows.

I do think that many people -including some media members I see tweeting - are overstating the impact of this loss like the game was a gimme.  Nothing's a gimme for a team like this, especially down 2 key guys.  And its not like the teams they're competing against for the playoffs are all that great. 

In the end it's an L.  Plenty of basketball still to play.

then we don't need him.

good call on olly. he needs to be more assertive and shoot and drive more. this is one more place where CBS needs to earn his paycheck. he needs to boost olly's confidence and get him to be aggressive.

olly has the potential for a great inside/outside offensive game. i still see him as an off the bench guy, but one who can provide points and rebounds.

Ding ding ding.....we got a winner !   You get your shot wide open in the NBA ...you got to fire away and grin and beam with confidence it's going down.

He is mental


I would fine him 100.00 every time he uses that cheesy up fake and passes up a jumper.
