I think it is a pattern. When Booker/Beal, one of them went out. This team looks more fluid because eeryone is involved.
Vogel has to learn from these games.
Or maybe it is the Pistons... nvm

I can't help but think the Pistons disclaimer also but...pretty much zero ISO ball and tons of movement is nice to see and clearly effective.

Weird to be having a G-League exhibition game during the regular season.

[SlovenianDragon]

Yay Roddy is in!!! Lets see what he can do!

[sunsbg]

This thread is mostly positive. Weird.

In all fairness to the Pistons, they didn't have Stewart tonight who gives their lineup a nice punch. Add Stewart to this game, and Detroit has a fighter's chance to deliver a possible knock out this game.

I turned it off out of boredom and being tired isn't general, but I didn't expect to check back and see we only won by 16. I figured we'd hold more than that, but I guess that wasn't the case.

Garbage time minutes are irrelevant. The goal is to finish the game without getting hurt. We don’t need to push the lead to 40 to up our point differential.

Technically, that was just a KD game.

[LV-Suns]

Lee looking way more composed and controlled than Cam Payne ever did.

Come on man, that was the Pistons. Can't jump to any conclusions after playing these guys. Cam Payne had some great games for us in the playoffs.

[Hitachi77]

It seems like every win is dismissed as nothing here lol. We destroy the Pelicans in their building and it’s like we just won a game at the local YMCA.

In all fairness the Suns didn't have Booker after a BS ejection - who's to say they wouldn't have been up by a 50 piece with him?

Seriously though we are gonna now pretend that Isiah Stewart would've singlehandedly prevented the Pistons from being down as much as 35 into the 3rd Q and would've put them in position to deliver a knock out?

I'm assuming you meant some multi-verse Kang type variant and not the actual Stewart.

Man...you got got issues and clearly missed the joke...just come into this thread ready to be toxic and attack whatever post you can...

It's weird....

Not sure if I agree with you there. Stewart strikes me as the type of guy that can really deliver a blow to any line up. He's the definition of a player who punches above his weight.

[Saberestar]

That was a great game to give confidence to some of our role players.

KD with another amazing game, his consistency is ridiculous.

We played through Nurkic at the start of the 3rd quarter and we played very very well. He dribbled the ball up the court and found the open man a good amount of times. Good stuff.

Gordon, Allen, Okogie, Bol and Royce O'Neale did their job and a bit more. It seems that Royce has been on this team since the start of the season lol.

With Book ejected Vogel gave minutes to Saben Lee and he answered the call playing well. He has tunnel vision when going to the rim, it's a shame that he can't be a better passer/3p shooter but not a bad option for that 15th spot on the roster.
