GAME 71 : Nuggets @ Pistons 8PM

[Manocad]

There's that contusion for Sirvydis

[440BB]

So Sirvydis ends up with a real knee contusion. Poetic justice I suppose.

[The Moose]

Lol a literal leg contusion for DS

[Manocad]

Yikes...there's one post in the game thread on the Nuggets board. By a mod, and they're the #4 seed in the West.

The tanking gods are smiling down on the Pistons. Now we just need their lottery buddies to do the same.

They are one of the boring boards for game threads on here. In contrast the raptors usually have like 3-4 pages before game time.

The kicked ball rule is one rule I'd like to see changed relative to how it's enforced. And not like it affects a whole ton of plays, but a kicked ball should be called because a defender, I don't know, KICKED THE BALL. Why an offensive player throwing a pass off a defender's foot is a kicked ball has always been a mystery to me. You almost never see an actual kicked ball, i.e. the defender sticking his leg/foot out to stop a pass.

Yeah, I didn't notice that. There isn't a single game thread on the front page of the board that goes past one page.

Excluding a nice night from Sirvydis, the rest of the team shot 2-30 from deep. They actually competed pretty well but when your main guys 2-30 from downtown you are going to have a hard time making it a competitive game.

I was bummed we didn't get more from Saban Lee. 8 man rotation and he only got one shot up all night.

I think we have burned out Bey at this point. Most of the rookies have played twice as many games as they ever have before and I don't expect much is left in the tank.

for some reason i don't think a ton of west coast fans are on RealGM, the most posts a WC team has is the lakers with 818k, second being the suns with 805k. meanwhile there are seven EC team forums with as much or more posts and even this board is at 709k, which would be third most among WC teams.

and some of the WC team forums are completely dead, like memphis, new orleans and san antonio.

So just as an aside, rookie ranks;

Hayes #2 apg (Lee is #6)
Stewart #1 rpg #1 bpg
Bey #5 ppg

Not a bad rookie class. Not bad at all.

[Uncle Mxy]

Tanks a lot, boys!

This recent stretch has just been brutal. Many things happening for the rookies - to be sure - but outside of Bey, they aren't anywhere close to true NBA shape yet. While the jury is out on Killian, I know it will help a lot to have a productive offseason with conditioning and training. Stew was showing some wear as well. And Bey was logging minutes like an eight-year pro.

That DS stepback was actually much nicer then I thought he was capable of.

Yeah it's been in his repertoire since his Euro days.
