Pistons Vs. Wizards Dec 22. - Kravtsov second game of domina

[JD43320]

Instead of dumping the ball off to a wide open Dre under the basket Daye decides to take a contested cork screw lay-up. He has to be trolling us.

[qm22]

And that's why Daye never developed, he has no clue... 1.) Waves of Monroe who wants to post up. 2.) Dribbles without making any particularly hard to follow move into a trap along the baseline. 3.) Has easy pass to wide open Monroe whose man left him but instead makes a pass directly to the Wizards in the other direction. I'm glad it's only vs the Wizards or it would be upsetting.

If you want to embarass the pistons, press and trap. They literally completely break down.

Which is the same thing they did early in the season and many times last season. It's like they don't have any preparedness for the absolute basics.

I don't think they realize how valuable their dibble is in the half court set. They pick it up so often and then wonder why everything gets harder all of a sudden. There are few reasons to pick up your dibble.

What, why is Stuckey replacing Knight not Bynum?

[wire28]

Lol at how reluctant players were to get on the floor for the loose ball. Do you want to win or are you just going through the motions.

because Knight have deserved it

[wire28]

Lol that pass made me laugh. Atleast we escape with the win. We'll go back to our losing ways next game for those concerned about the lotto balls.

Stuckey shot the ball really bad but he was our 2nd best player.

CV was awful on defense as usual but he was our best player.

Drummond was very good on defense but awful on offense missing dunks/layups etc but at least he was a beast on the boards.

Monroe wasn't bad, he didn't impress me tho.

Outside those 4 everyone else was/is awful. CV and Stuckey carried us against a laughable Washington D-League team.

Daye makes me miss Maggette... That's how bad he is.

Any updates on Prince?

Any updates on Prince?

We really struggled once we lost Tay, not sure if it was a coincidence or not. I've actually liked Tay's game this year, has been a good consistent player. If he misses a couple, hopefully Singler moves to SF, Stuckey to SG and English gets some minutes at back-up SG. Unfortunately, Frank will most likely give the minutes to Bynum/Maggette.

Okay game tonight, wouldn't say we played well though. Stuckey is finally starting to play some of the basketball I expected from him this season, once he gets up to 32+ minutes hopefully he can average around 16 points and 5-6 assists.

I agree with you that we struggled when we lost Prince...The idea of Singler starting at the 3 is scary, that guy is a big-time bum...Our opponents make it a mission to abuse Singer, it's flat out embarrassing...I would rather start Daye or Maggette and raise there trade value...

[Jodi]

Decent game tonight overall...Knight looked awful tonight, he needs to understand that if he isn't scoring he should be looking to create for his teammates...Stuckey, Monroe, and my boy Charlie V played well tonight...Drummond did great on the defensive end, but he still has a lot of work to do on the offensive end...I thought Drummond played well on Nene during the 4th quarter, it started getting little physical between those two...When Prince went down I think it showed how much he's needed offensively, defensively, and during different paces of the game...Hopefully Prince is available before our game on Wednesday against the Hawks...

Singler is "abused" because he is playing out of position. Expecting him to guard 2s is a stretch. He is strictly a 3. And most likely a backup 3.

He is a three but he won't be able to steal minutes from the mighty ISO-Shaun!
