I wish we would have seen more Andre Miller. He really helps that second unit.
Re: Pistons are overrated-GDT
We did everything needed to lose this game. Drummond didn't have a monster rebounding game. Both he and jackson got into foul trouble in the 1st half. No piston player had a career or standout game.
Kg and prince look old. Martin play selfishly. How many misses did he have with that ugly one handed runner? Martin and Bazz both have no intention to pass the ball once they touch it. You can tell from their body language once they got into the game that they are gunning for theirs. Sam should have sit them. Dieng look lost and gets thrown to the floor every trip. Rubio had his worst game of the season.
Towns was game but got few touches in the 2nd half and sat too long. Wiggins play well but he got to make his ft's. A lot of wasted pts there. Lavine came alive late but was too late. he never look comfortable while playing along side the black hole trio of bazz, martin and dieng. Disappointing loss.

I will say that Detroit is a pretty good team -- they played some really great defense. They have had a tough schedule to start the season, so I suspect we will see them rise significantly in the standings.

Ricky really hurt us offensively and defensively late in the game. You don't see that too often from him.

Just got done watching the game on league pass what a sloppy mess. I'll just keep saying it all year, this coaching staff has got to go. Would starting LaVine at SG be so hard because it would admit Sam was wrong? I just don't get it.

Yes a real PG running the offense in the 2nd unit is the answer! I wish we had someone better than Miller to do so but he'll be the answer in the mean time.

Re: Pistons are overrated-GDT
This game represents one of the reasons I don't care for Rubio long-term. The great PG's have the ability to change the course of a game with their offense. With Ricky, if the rest of the team is off, his strengths get pulled as well. Take a guy like Chris Paul. While such a gifted passer, he can simply light you up when he needs to. Ricky hurts us in the respect that he can't forcibly stem the tide of a game like this.

Ricky had a bad game no doubt, although I do wonder if he's even close to 100%. He was not moving well out there.

Re: Pistons are overrated-GDT
This game was over from the start. KAT had a horrible game. Lost the tip off and we lost the game.
Re: Pistons are overrated-GDT
Sixth game in nine days, eighth in twelve. Rubio clearly is gimpy. They'll be fine.
