4 of those shots were missed tips on one **** play? Maybe you should stick to muttering to yourself if you're not going to at least watch the game.

Did I grab your girl's tits or something? Lighten up, Francis.

The game was fixed tonight for the Pistons to win. I know most of you will vehemently disagree with me, but it was. I could tell for sure on the play in the third quarter were paul Gasol just let andre dunk on him. The refs favored the Pistons tonight.

I never said it wasn't improving. I only said that if it (or something else) becomes a consistent offensive threat he'll reach superstar status. The point was that all he needs is one consistently dependable scoring move, i.e. not two or three, and he's a superstar. It wasn't a statement made to detract from his ability, more in praise of it in the sense that he does so many other things well that one consistent offensive scoring move will put him clearly in elite status.

D Rose should be ashamed of himself. He got outplayed by a 2nd round rookie in his first start lol

Dinwiddie looked REALLY good defensively for a rookie. He has at other times this year too.

Could Dinwiddie/Caldwell-Pope become the best starting defensive guard duo in the league by say... 2018? :P

It's been good this game but I wouldn't put it at "go-to" status yet

I've been saying for the past 4-5 weeks Dre's hook has been looking good. I said today, I believe he officially has it added to his repertoire. If you've watched every game you should be able to notice it


I've noticed!! It's a 'real thing' now. :nod: :)

Does Reggie Jackson like to make flashy plays..... you know, say like, throwing up alley oop dunks to 6'11" 285 pound freak athletes with off-the-charts 'basketball catching' talent? *crosses fingers*

Good ass win Detroit! I like seeing Moose and Dre playing big-time minutes, SVG should keep using that gameplan. My guy KCP had a decent Ben Gordon game tonight too, I like that.

I was hype to see B. Shmurda( 8-) ) play tonight. I hope he plays on Sunday man.

He looked great and outplayed Derrick Rose. He was making smart passes, attacking the basket when he needed to and hit the open jumper also. I think he should get most of the backup minutes the rest of the season.

I really think we will be much better defensively with Reggie starting and Dinwiddie as the backup making sure we always have a big guard out there. You could definitely tell that Dinwiddie's size and length was bothering Rose all game.

Was watching the Dre highlights and that hook is lookin good by next season it should be automatic. I really like how he was using his strength to just bully Gasol and Noah. One hook he just backed down Noah once and he moved him like a foot and a half back lol. I love what I'm seeing, in the beginning of the season he looked terrible in the post he has defiantly progressed a lot.

Dinwiddie's highlights from last night. I really think he can be a pretty good backup to Reggie for the rest of the season.

Yes, that's the needed step in AD's development. Play with more assertiveness. If he plays with force consistently he will become a dreaded opponent. Few players can match his combination of athletic ability and strength. The hook is coming along, now if only the free throws... :wink:

I know it's been said before, but his free throws have a pretty smooth looking stroke. When they go in, it looks quite nice. Hopefully it's a mental block thing that he can continue to work through.

Even his misses look good. He must have the most missed FTs that pop back out. :noway:

yeah, he looks good and big in that video :0. Nice. I love that Reggie Jackson got into the clip running out onto the floor looking so hype. This is going to be exciting :)
