Nice home win against a really bad team. Dumars really did a number on that team once the Great Hammond left.

I miss having a coach who thought it was a good idea to call a timeout a minute into the game to admonish his team.

Parker with his best game, ersan played well. Really like oj in the starting lineup. Knight annoyed me.

Hopefully Giannis learns from this game and has a good game tomorrow.

Knight played 4 good quarters as a PG.

Like him next to OJ Mayo quite a bit actually.

Didn't see the game, but from the box score, it looks like GIannis was really struggling with his shot. Was it as bad as it seems?

We said it at the time, but what was SVG thinking coming back to coach this? Drummond ain't Dwight, by the way.

Knight still looked lost a few times setting up the offence. It is what it is.

Jabari's best game as a pro.

Giannis's shot just didn't fall. He does need to work on that jumper.

He doesn't take any shots outside of 2 feet. Even with no one within 10 feet of him. They just let him drive and then sent everyone at him to contest the shot. He either needs to shoot the ball with confidence and make them or look to pass on the drive.

Knight was 20/8 on 7-12, didn't stop the ball, got it to Jabari / Giannis, didn't force anything, and was active on defense.

Hating on him tonight is ridiculous.

Kind of felt like the team slept walk through this game

Got off to a bad start and couldn't seem to get anything to go. Missed a few good looks from outside and the paint. Pistons immediately collapsed whenever he would drive. Just an off night imo.

I didn't say he played bad. I'm said he annoyed me. Meh missed open guys, whored the rebounds bad at the end of the game and demanded the ball instead of going with the play when Giannis or Parker started a break. Just annoying. He played well overall.

I still don't know what the deal with Giannis's shot is. It looked bad/different once he got back from summer ball. Now he straight up refuses to take jumpers with a ten foot cushion.

He could shoot last season, albeit in low volume. If he's simply hitting 35% from outside on one or two a night, his game opens way the hell up.

Also, I hate Piston basketball so much.

ZeppelinPage · Post #15 » by **ZeppelinPage** » Wed Nov 26, 2014 3:28 am

When they collapse on Giannis like that he needs to just start passing instead until he gets confidence with that jump shot

With his new height might take him a bit to get used to it all.

Knight played a consistently good 4 quarters tonight.

Giannis really struggled. His shot last year was a lot better than this.

Nice to see OJ starting,

steger_3434 · Post #17 » by **steger_3434** » Wed Nov 26, 2014 3:29 am

Also annoyed that Parker only played 11 minutes the second half, but like others have said we better get used to it. If he's good or bad he's basically sitting from the 5 min mark of the 3rd till the 4 minute mark of the 4th.

Not really, he was a bit unlucky. He normally makes the shots he was missing tonight. Kinda like Jabari's last game.

bigkurty · Post #19 » by **bigkurty** » Wed Nov 26, 2014 3:29 am

Jabari's d, positioning on D, and boxing out have improved dramatically the past few weeks. It sucks Giannis had a bad game but whatever, he'll be fine. Knight looked great tonight and I agree, OJ as a running mate might force him from dominating the ball so much. Dudley still has to go. Eric should be on this team over Dudley.

Knight did a few dumb things like usual but this was probably his most complete game so far this season.
