Cade TOs are annoying AF

Sure. Whos your pick? I'm going to assume you've watched all the players we've discussed so far, so who ya got?DetroitSho wrote:Nah PAT WILLIAMS just ain't it.

What a terrible 2nd quarter. If Sasser didn't hit those 3's we would be losing alread thanks to the TOs and the laughable easy shots misses.

Cade/Ivey/Ausar/Duren are playing well together, but Kawhi is destroying us

If Monty wasn't brain damaged, or if even a squirrel was the coach, Ausar Thompson would be absolutely stuck to him like glue all game long.vege wrote:Cade/Ivey/Ausar/Duren are playing well together, but Kawhi is destroying us
With that said, my forecast for the rest of this game is suffering.

Re: Game 48: Pistons vs Clippers 7PM EST
Ausar should be starting at the 4. Knox shouldn't even be in the rotation. It took more than half of the season to give Sasser regular minutes (well, for a couple of games so far) but Monty is constantly 2 months behind 90% of the fans here.
Enough jump-passes (turnovers)! And it's not just the young guys, but Bojan, too.

Re: Game 48: Pistons vs Clippers 7PM EST
We have 2x more TOs than them. That's why we're losing.
We got more rebounds, more assists, and we're shooting as well as they are from 3 but we have a ton more 3's than them.
Cade/Ivey and even Bojan got to do better with the ball, they can't pass to the other team like they have been doing.

I literally have a post IN THE TRADE THREAD breaking down what my whole plan would be. But just some names FFS, I'm very interested in adding D. Murray through trade by the deadline.zeebneeb wrote:Sure. Whos your pick?

I have my longshot eyes on a Mikal Bridges acquisition on draft day using Ausar, our pick and a future pick (since we'd actually be able to trade future picks then).
I have free agent eyes on OG in the event he bolts but more realistically, I'm looking at a monster contract for Tobias, but only on a 2 year deal. Kinda like what Philly did with Horford years ago (but stupidly on a long-term deal). Or what Houston did with Van Vleet.
So yeah, have at it.

Re: Game 48: Pistons vs Clippers 7PM EST
This is why people need to quit crying about us needing more shooting on the team. We have no less than 9 guys that can hit 3s at a passable rate. We have a handful of guys who can get absolutely scorching hot.vege wrote:We have 2x more TOs than them. That's why we're losing.

Somehow we're losing games because Isaiah Stewart's "non shooting" is starting at the 4, nevermind the fact that we can't stop anybody when they get in rhythm and we turn the ball over like it's our job.

Bojan/Cade/Ivey have 7 TOs combined. The Clippers have 4.

Damn Duren flat out hammered on the arm by Westbrook on that dunk attempt and the ref was right there and still no call probably the most ridiculous no call I've seen all season.

Even Westbrick is hitting 3's but Burks can't hit anything

Monte Morris continues to destroy any chance we have to keep it close. What a disaster of a game for Morris and Burks.

I wish Ivey play like that every game. He has been good. Excellent on offense and decent on defense.

I don't expect much from us, sooooo... whatever, but I really wanted to see the Harden experiment fail.
Kawhi was my fav non-Piston for a hot minute and I still like his game. PG too. Heck, I'm even OK with Westbrook despite the fact I want him nowhere near my team.
But Harden? Ugh...
Not that it matters. No way those guys all stay healthy an entire season.

Re: Game 48: Pistons vs Clippers 7PM EST
A dumb TO from Ivey followed by a terrible play by Ivey next possession, followed by a dumb TO by Bojan and the game is over.

Bojan's got a ridiculously soft shot and an even softer cross-court pass.

Scratch that. I thought Cade was gonna start scoring points when it doesn't matter, but he can't even do that.
