Frank subbed out Monroe for Jonas for 1 play, then we dont get the rebound on the missed FT. lol

Why did he put Jonas in?

Nice to see Dre get 30min tonight. About time.

i'm glad middleton got minutes, i didn't really notice him but when i did it was normally for playing good defense or making a good play

BK, playing with tons of injuries, has a great heart. There's no way in the world the Pistons don't want him as a core guy on their team.

This guy Pekovic is a total thug - very Bill Laimbeer-ish. I cannot wait for Drummond to get his man-strength so he can flatten this guy.

I loved watching the guys fight tonight. Who cares that we lost. We need the lottery balls.

More good moments tonight from Middleton, too. I think he's part of the solution going forward, especially as he gets stronger.

Drummond also played with a lot of energy. And it looks like the game has slowed down enough for him on offense so he can make some jump hooks in rhythm.

Credit to Frank for actually having good rotations this game.

I hate losing. But at least Moose/Dre/Knight/Middleton played well...

Any chance Cleveland/PHX catch us?

Ha...ha...Greg preserving the tank. Taking too much time and then passing it to Rodney for 3. :rolleyes:

Nice to see Dre/Moose play together finally at the end of a close game. Even though they didn' t win good exp.

Drummond locked up Pekovic in the 4th qtr

I just realized Derrick Williams was no where to be found after that hot start and he played only 18 minutes. Did he get hurt? That's puzzling

Yeah I noticed that too. Strange.

Monroe was totally abusing him. I'm guessing Adleman hated the matchup.

BTW, don't know if it was mentioned, but the refs missed a good game tonight. Pekovic should have been called for some maiming fouls, and they took away a great follow-up dunk by Jerebko on basket interference, that just wasn't basket interference.

I don't care, since we need the ping pong balls, but just sayin'

Maybe rumors of him being fired had to do with our rotations making sense for once.

IIRC he was at 4 fouls mid-third quarter, got pulled, and never saw the light of day again.

Adelman is pretty hard on Derrick and unless he is playing very well he rarely lets him finish games. He has a lot more confidence in Dante Cunigham.

Cleveland still has games with Orlando, Charlotte and Detroit but they've been losing on purpose for 3 years.

PHX has games vs NO and Minny but they are an absolute train wreck right now.

Goldtop · Post #138 » by **Goldtop** » Sun Apr 7, 2013 3:02 am

PHX is clearly trying to lose.

Even though we lost tonight, good game Pistons...Knight, Stuckey, Bullwinkle, Drummond, Jonas, and Middleton all played well!..Props to Knight for playing hard through the entire game even though Peckovic was all over him...

I had to go out so I missed the 2nd half of the game and I just watched the NBA.com highlights.

Pekovic is a scumbag, good on Knight for letting his play do the talking.
