Game 9: Miami Heat (3-5) @ Detroit Pistons (4-4) - 11/05, 7:00 PM ET

A win without Blake during OT would've benefited Dre & RJ the most, allowing them to carry over extra confidence onto the next games.

Still, it's not all doom & gloom... Things will get better once RB comes back next week, and Luke by December (or earlier). I imagine GRIII would by then already be a solid/reliable contributor on O&D.

Dre and Blake didn't really have good games. Yes, they put up stats, but you can't get 8 TO's from your starting bigs and another 3 from zaza. And no defense to speak of? It's really tough to win in the NBA that way. We just don't have the fire power to be a team that wins with offense.

Don't worry guys, the team will get plenty of play without Blake Griffin in the future, I can see why he gets hurt so much. I admire how hard he plays, but he is just reckless out there, needs to dial it down a bit if he can. He is so physical out there, I mean I like the effort, but I think at some point one play isn't worth an injury.
