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

KO has been terrible but he's not the reason we lost this game... Pressey is the reason we blew it in regulation, total team effort to blow it in OT

I think it's pretty much a combo of everyone but Wallace and Crowder, who are the only two who showed up to play tonight. I guess maybe Turner, too, though his missed dunk and last play in regulation were absolutely killers for us.

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!

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

Orlando by far, imo.

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.

This is a true showing of why the Celtics don't need to resign Bass and the boys but instead need  to upgrade the talent.

Agree, and the C's need to look hard at the power forward position. Besides Center.

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

Other than a couple random blocks, though, KO has been absolutely horrible tonight. In fact, he had a ton of defensive lapses that led to easy buckets.

EDIT: But it's not all on him. A lot of our other guys had bad nights, too.

Personally I'd go for Detroit.
I like their frontcourt a lot, and Jackson is a solid PG.

your stats are as weak as usual....he is 9-40 over the last few games the announcers just said.....stats don't win anything.......if you watch him, you see no enthusiasm or movement...not like the night his father was in the stands.....

Brad has to give serious thought to benching KO.  He's killing them right now.

Kelly looks to be a very confused basketball player. He does do some things good, but of late, I just can't even begin to understand what he's thinking at times.

So, everything else? Like 9rbs, 5 assists, and 2 blocks?


Like I said, KO is shooting terribly, no doubt. I don't really care about talking about KO's poor games, I just find it funny that people are quick to call him out when he does poorly but go quiet on other bigs!

I'm not sold on Jackson. I think he can be good, but his attitude and shot-chucking worries me a bit. Here's my breakdown.

Now that I think about it, they might be closer than I thought.
Det: Jackson, KCP, Monroe, and Drummond is pretty close to
Orl: EP, Oladipo, Harris, and Vucevic.

and your reading is weak as usual. (how did that sound?) i was referencing tonight's game and nothing more.

p.s. respond to my posts all you wish with insights, legitimate differences, other thoughts, i welcome all those. but snarky remarks that degrade are neither needed nor welcome.

let's enjoy the games together.
