Game 30: Detroit Pistons (15-14) @ Charlotte Hornets (15-15) - 7:00 PM ET

[_Und3r][D4wg_]

Too bad we couldn't muster one of our trademark 4th quarter comebacks (which sadly fall short half of the time, anyway). But there really is no reason why the Hornets should be sweeping us despite Kemba Walker.

Never mind getting consecutive wins, 'coz we're now just down to fighting hard to avoid falling into another losing streak and keep hovering near .500. Still, our next 2 games should be just what the doctor ordered for this flu-bugged team.

I'd be fine bench Kennard if there was a much better option but there really isn't.

2nd game I couldn't care to watch, just minimized it and went do something else and eventually checked how the game was going. This team is a joke, I won't be surprised if we actually miss the playoffs despite of the East being a complete joke.

Calderon is unplayable. Reggie Jackson is terrible. SJ play 4-5 great games a season and is unplayable the rest of the games. I honestly have no idea wtf is wrong with Kennard, I had so much hope for him, he was so good at the end of last season. What happened? Why is he so insecure? Why is hhe so affraid of shooting, he wasn't like that last season when he was given minutes, he had a bunch of high efficiency 20+ ppg.

It's heart breaking to watch Blake trying to carry this team and see we actually only have 2 decent pieces around him, Drummond and Bullock, everything else is thrash. Bruce Brown might develop into something great but outside of those 4 and Zaza, none of those players deserve to be in the League.

When Ish Smith is back we should be better, but we're still a terrible team. We should've made moves a while ago, we're about to keep our pick and draft another Austin Daye/Henry Ellenson kind of player and use our MLE into another GRIII or Joodie Meeks.

[El Chivo]

Kemba always kills us

Reggie Killed us. Whoever he was supposed to guard, scored easily on us and on offense he tried to play hero ball.

Dude stfu.

Reggie Jackson agent is back

That's not fair to say in the last part. Those are all past moves made by a different front office. We've yet to see this front office make a trade and I'll be honest I'm afraid of it. SVG was great a trading and I just don't know if we'll get the same type of moves again in trades. We need to get lucky simple as that. It's only a matter of time. I just hope we don't lose talent for nothing. We need to flip simple players shining into future prospects.

Pistons desperately need another alpha scorer at the guard or wing position. Reggie doesn't have it anymore, Luke isn't aggressive enough, and Bullock is a system guy.

Would love that too. Hard to get with what we got though lol.
At this point I'd be happy if we could get Tollover back without giving up much. Maybe Ellenson and GR3.All the Guys loved him here.
Then when Ish gets back that would help too. Luke needs to start playing/shooting better

[russkopp]

looking at the schedule I think we will be under .500 come February

One can only hope. Screw this team.

Reggie Jackson agent is back

It's not even about defending Reggie, it's about simply knowing basketball which that dude clearly doesnt know. He just comes and says the same crap after every game....probably doesnt even watch the games. Read this - https://www.detroitbadboys.com/2018/12/21/18146242/detroit-pistons-reggie-jackson-analysis-trade-candidate

Pretty much everything i've been saying all season long. No I'm not the writer, it's just so painfully obvious for anyone that actually knows the game. Jackson has never been a great 3 point shooter, but Casey has basically turned him into a guard that passes it to Blake and sits around the 3pt arc ready for a last second pray and shoot. It's not effective.....this offense has shown to benefit pretty much just 2 guys and the others are trying to find their way. SVG's offense did way more for everyone's game.

We can sit here and complain about how slow Jackson is now and he isnt a great shooter, great defender, bad contract blah blah blah. You can complain about it every single night but it aint gonna change anything. It is what it is. Put him in situations to be more successful is the coach's job and so far, it hasnt happened. In the last couple of games there's been more pick and roll and less Griffin dribble for 20 seconds (especially in Minnesota), but still it's not enough. There has to be more balance. On a team this bad offensively, you need Jackson...he's still our best point guard on the roster and is still one of the top 3 scorers on the team. It is up to Casey to put his top 3 options in great positions to score and so far he's only consistently done that for Blake and not Bullock or Jackson.

For this team to reach its potential, which is probably finishing 5th or 6th seed in the conference- they need Reggie to be a scorer and not just a spot up shooter. And for everyone crying for Ish to takeover, he's been the starting pg for pretty much the last two seasons and the team has failed miserably with him starting. He's not a starter in this league, he's a very good backup but once you extend his role it doesnt translate into wins.

I think we should fire Casey and hire you to coach the team, since you know so much, smart ass.

I think we should waive Jackson and sign you to be the starting point guard, since you know so much, smart ass.

He can't be the starting PG because he'll give up and go to the locker room in the 3rd quarter every game. And then act surprised when the guys come back into the locker room after the game smiling and celebrating like he wasn't watching them win. Because you know, he mistakenly sat on the locker room TV remote and his butt turned the game on.

You should follow SVG and gtfo. Reggie wasn’t worth his contract when he was healthy, now he’s a simply a used up bum with bad ankles and knees.

You’re the type of guy wishing SVG had resigned KCP.

Be gone.

[Snakebites]

Alrighty.

This game is over and we're going ahead and locking the thread here.

Any future or continued name calling will have to be dealt with. Knock it off.

Also, if you're going to report posts, make sure that you too are not guilty of rule violations. Thank you.
