good game even if it is a loss. It felt like a playoff game and the guys played hard.

Celtics didnt even win this game, we literally handed it to them.

19 missed free throws, stupid play after stupid play in the last minute.

As baffling as that shot was, that wasn't even the dumbest play of the night. Absolutely horrible though, no excuse for that selfish shot.

Maybe SVG should have let Ish close out games... RJ played okay until the end.

Bad refs, horrendous free throw shooting, and possibly the worst sequence of basketball I've ever seen.

Watching after the game it seemed like Reggie was the only one to go over and greet a couple of the '04 guys. Went to hug Gores and Gores it seems made him stop and talk to LB for a second. Hopefully whatever Larry said can be useful. Hopefully guys like Chauncey and Rip can be in his ear a little bit before they leave town. I badly do think he wants to be the dude for this franchise and I badly do want him to make it back from this horrible season he's having. But man....its hard, extremely hard after selfish plays like that. He's so much better than that.

Frustrating.

SVG is trapped. We have to make the playoffs and sell fans on a new arena. Playing Reggie lowers our chances of winning greatly. We will most definitely try and move Reggie this summer. Reggie must play to prove how good he is to other teams so we don't get crushed in a trade. Reggie playing shows other teams how bad he is. Ish playing shows other teams how bad Reggie is.

There is no victory in the Pistons future.

We will never be a great team unless we can hit free throws like a big boy team..too many points squandered

It's funny because we could've easily won all 4 games against the Celtics this season. SVG needs to get some blame here

These guys besides Pope and Stanley have no heart. Let Chauncey coach these guys. I'm done with SVG.

Cotdamn, I was pulling for the Pistons but Reggie Jackson has been abhorrent this season. There's no way any of that dude's teammates like playing with him

mrfalse9 · Post #334 » by **mrfalse9** » Mon Feb 27, 2017 2:06 am

Had Smith finish the game, I'm pretty sure he'll find KCP. I feel like RJ is kinda jealous of KCP that's why he rarely make plays for him.

Our next 5 are all winnable and pretty much need to do so

Definitely feels like we gave this one away. Missed FT's. Turnovers. And selfish play with 55 seconds to go. smh

Ish KCP SJ

That's the backcourt we have now. period. I'm so tired of seeing Stanley Johnson on the bench. SVG needs to step it up.

I'm so tired of hearing SVGs analysis. Shut up and put the right players on the floor. Shut up.

Appears he overthinks situations and can't leave the GM side of his job separate from the coach. He knows Reggie is a problem but he has to try and trade him this summer.

SVG is the master of panic. Shaq is rigt.

Hope we miss the playoffs. Force SVG's hand.
