Great game: Vuc

Good games: Matas, Giddey

Solid games: Huerter, Ayo, Jones, Williams

Bogans games: Okoro, Terry, Smith

20/6 with 3 stocks is basically the high end of what you could possibly expect from a second year Matas.

That was a lot of fun. We’re gonna be sloppier some nights, but that was actually a fun brand of basketball

Assist by Okoro, who "sucks" apparently

Man that would have been really ugly around here if we lost on that apparent GIddey turnover.

looked pretty effortless imo. He needs more usage. Giddey and him don't have a lot of chemistry seemingly, hope it improves, one of my few complaints from tonight.

Apparently? Did you watch the game? He was awful. Cade was scoring on him whenever he wanted in the 4th.

Matas was -10. So you see the limitations of +/-

We were good when we push the pace and keep attacking. The pistons only started their comeback when we started slowing down.

Our guys have to get used to running the whole game.

Did anyone watch that game and think, "I wish they would have played Essengue?"

Honestly when Terry was getting minutes I was thinking put in Pat or at worst Essengue.

Definitely would have enjoyed seeing him take those Dalen Terry minutes. That was painful.

Was betting on Piston game: Jalen Smith

Jalen is charmin soft

Okoro gave us a very Lonzo-like game. Good defense, made some good assists, couldn't shoot worth a damn. And overall he was +17 on the night much higher than any other player in the building. It's a vintage Lonzo game, but he's available every night and pretty young. Lonzo was 1-7 himself tonight.

Jalen Smith was actually terrible, on either end.

Giddey & Tre with 19 assists was nice to watch, it's not easy to generate offense as a bad team with your best scorer out but they kept the offense for 3 quarters. Vuc obviously did most of the damage, but he was set up on every single make.
