A Better Benchmark - Wolves @ Pistons GDT

[worldK]

This is one of those loss where you just resigned to yourself that we are not going to make the playoffs. This team teases with strong play and good wins then you then disappoints you with losses like these. Yes detroit has a better record than us but if we can truly make the playoffs this year then this are the teams that we should be beating whether on the road or at home.

Hmm.. You didn't mention the 18 offensive boards by the Pistons and Wiggins 2 defensive rebounds in 40 minutes...

I missed this one. Disappointing. Just looking at the box score I see 6 turnovers from Rubio, and a meh game from Wiggins when it looks like Zach picked it back up. I'm starting to wonder if those two ever both play a good game at the same time. 6 turnovers from Rubio is way too much. Was Dunn injured? Looks like another game to skip watching the replay.

Lets face it, they might play around .500 ball the rest of the season, but that simply won't get it done. The hole they dug was way too deep. And there are no signs right now that they can rise above mediocrity, at least this season. I just don't see it.

Six games at home now, it's probably going to take 5-1 to give them a legit shot. 4-2 at absolute worst. Damn it's just too bad they had their heads up their asses so much during the first half of the season. Gave away way too many games. This upcoming 6 games might be custard's last stand. A loss to the grizzles could be the first nail in the coffin. The fat lady is warming up. Playoffs or bust? Looks like bust.

Wiggins can hit the game winner or tie the game and get us to overtime and you will read posters saying that while he make a good shot, his previous to's or bad shots got us in that position in the first place. It has always been like that. Good game from wiggins and they will find something to point out.( He did not have a good game tonight before someone try to point that out to me) Bottom line, all players make mistakes throughout the game.

Wiggins did not play well this game. Im frustrated as anyone here about his lack of rebounding. He is a polarizing player. Guys like me, who like him see that he is a work in progress and has exceeded expectations on offense. We also recognize that he is the most talented wing player in wolves history that is still 21. There will always be guys that will find him lacking because of his demeanor or lack of stats besides scoring. It is what it is.

You're right World. I'm always going to want more from him, but I'm not at all disappointed with where he's at. Still ridiculously high upside.

Say what you want but Morris was just on fire. He was open some but the guy was just blazing from the get go.

On Bazz I feel like the guy gives you effort and hustle when he is out there. Has anyone else noticed on fast breaks he doesn't just seem to be going headlong to the basket but has sort of a eurostep instead? I guess either Zach out maybe Bazz will play against some starters enough maybe Q will give him some credit for his defense.
