Game 60: Pistons (30-29) vs. Raptors (39-18) - 6:00 PM EST

RJ been playing w a lot of energy on the defensive side of the ball, setting the tone. Realistically KCP will guard parker and RJ just has to keep Green in check. I really think this is the harris effect. He takes probably 8 succesful offensive possessions away from RJ, allowing RJ more energy defensively and offensively.

I will say this, this is going to be a test to our 3/4 versatility since Leonard/Aldridge is about as tough as a 3/4 combo as we're going to face.

my biggest concern is that we have no one who can guard LMA as he can step away from the rim. SVG likes to keep Dre to the rim as much as possible. Harris vs Leonard should be fun to watch. Great offense vs great defense

I like Tobias a lot, he's shown me something during his time with Detroit, but he's not exceptional at anything (first step, handles, shot, post). Kawhi is likely going to take his lunch money.

He's going to be great at everything. Draymond Green is 25. Tobias Harris is 23. There's still potential for him to get better at everything which is all he needs to do. He did shoot 5/9 last game which I didn't think he was that efficient. That's impressive.

Kawhi was finals' mvp... 90% of nba players are gonna be raped by Kawhi between now and the next 5-6 years

Aldridge is going to feast in the low post. ESPN has him listed at 240. He's more like 250-55. He's got more than 5lbs on harris(235)

While that's all fine and dandy, we're really only just talking for the purposes of the game tomorrow. I think it was more in response to the "great offense vs. great defense" comment. You got the great defense part right.

The Spurs are one of the teams that has the personnel to take advantage of our lack of size at the PF. I expect that DMA will be a handful, as usual. The Spurs aren't 28-0 at home for nothing.

If only SVG hadn't hatched that nefarious plot to defraud the Rockets and poor DMo! After all, the Pistons had everything to gain by doing so.

5lbs? That's not that much difference. Drummond is like 280. Are you saying they won't be able to stop him? Maybe. Not many teams have an answer to him. It's why we're such a special team

i highly doubt LMA is 240lbs. Thats lighter than SJ. He's more like 255 and knows how to use it. Harris defensively in the low post is not ideal, when you add LMA skillset it could get scary.

Dre i believe is 290 right now

[tmorgan]

If Dre's only 290, I'll eat my shoe.

Yeah I second this HARD. I havnt seen one player be able to withstand any of his hard blows when hes deep with some players just bouncing off of him like a ping pong ball. He is easily 300lbs+ right now which makes his speed and hops even all the more amazing to my brain.

I mean on some of the hits in the Raptors game I thought JV, or Bismack would just explode. They had zero chance of moving him.
