[Roddy B for 3]

It's a Motley kind of night!

Can the Pistons please defend Motley

[Captain_Obvious]

Thank god, Reggie Jackson!

Jalen Jones playing in overtime to help us tank.

Good L. Nice to see young guys play well down the stretch like this... 2 more crap games left

I don't know who to root for between Sac and Memphis. If Sac wins, then they are 2 wins ahead of us. If Memphis wins, then Phoenix will have a cushion.

I’d rather have the cushion. Go Kings!

Atlanta pulled out a win today. That puts us only one game behind them for third.

I think we're still too good against Pheonix. I wonder if we sit every PGs (especially Barea and Yogi) but Smith without any scoring punch and see how he responds against Pheonix. I think we've to sit Barnes as well. If we still win, then Pheonix is too good (at tanking).

Up one at half. Kleber, Motley, and Barnes are looking a little too on for me to be comfortable. Hoping we see more Collinsworth, Jones, and Harrison in the second half

But Rick Carlisle knows what he's doing with lineups,, great coach, we clearly see why Motley has not been playing

I bet Johnathon Motley would tell you he is a better player at this point in the season than when he came up this fall.

Both Motley and DFS shoot very well. What a weird outing! Fortunately, we're able to make up our minds in OT. Seriously, we've no business in winning.

You know RC has a short of options. When he starts Kleber, he gets hot. When he starts Powell, he gets hot as well. When he plays Motley a little more, he hits threes as well. So is Dorian-Finney Smith. DFS and Powell from outside are still our most important weapon to tank. I don't expect Motley to shoot well from outside. It happens. The Mavs are too good hitting threes. Some teams cannot come out of a hole created by consecutive threes. We've to take more mid-range jumpers (not for Barnes of course).
