It's only 1 game but the starting lineup is just terrible. Lowry isn't going to bother so it's 4 on 5. Love looks and plays like he's 45 in the 4th Q. Herro can still be wildly inconsistent and hasn't learned to draw fouls. Bam and Jimmy aren't great offensive players shooting wise. Jimmy has to do everything in the paint. Bam is not a guy who can score 40 and put the team on his back consistently. So this current starting line up feels like a big handicap.

Lowry has been such a back breaking signing. Still hopeful we can flip him into something, given he’s such a big expiring.

First game of the season but I’m already seeing disturbing signs. Herro needs to reel it in a bit, guy shoots it any chance he gets and he isn’t nearly efficient enough to have that type of green light. Lowry…………please just waive this bum. 40mil, 32min, ZERO points, ZERO impact. This dude is str8 robbing the Heat blind. Love playing far too many minutes and shouldn’t be starting either. Bam still won’t even look at a 3 point shot, otherwise solid game from bam. Jimmy was rusty which is to be expected as he hadn’t played a single preseason game. Drob was sensational, his 3 ball was money, he was also cutting and making plays. All in all a bit concerning how much we struggled vs literally worst team in the league Pistons. Just one game yes, but we have way too many weaknesses to think we are contenders as we currently stand.

Want more minutes for Jaquez and why didn’t we see Jovic?

Not sure whats more disturbing, 0 points 2 assists, 2 rebounds 4 PF.. or the fact that he actually saw 32 minutes all game..

Meh, not even worried. This team is built for the playoffs; not regular season.

I think Herro and Bam have both gotten better, but it will take 15-25 games for that to realize.

I hate using this excuse, but our boys will be just a bit more motivated to play the Celtics than the Pistons.

we shall see how much motivated the comes this friday. but yes i'm expecting a loss here, you just dont blow a 19 point lead like that and pretend that everything is fine because its not

lowry should have been either traded or this summer and like other posters have pointed out here. love should come off the bench as well. herro idk about him but he better get his grove back fast... yes its just one game but it got ugly without any reason whatsoever

and a rental player for another rental player. Basically, Philly would ask 1-2 picks and Caleb included. Would that be worth it? I don't know.

I've seen enough.

Get rid of Lowry, he's beyond washed and unbearable.

Give me ALOT more JJJ and Jovic, and even Hampton.

Lets' be real this team isn't contending as currently constructed.
