Game 19: Pistons @ Clippers 3:30PM Today! Beef Stew returns...

[Manocad]

Im starting to feel bad for Cade. Every pick n roll he gets doubled and we miss the shot. I cant count how many wide open 3's Bey and Grant have missed. But Cade is also missing wide open shots. Also, Grant is reminding me of Blake from years past. He is an inefficient black hole.

That's my problem with Casey's whole offense. He's trying to fit these players into his offense instead of molding his offense around the players. Thus he's not putting them in position to be successful because he's not running an offense that plays to their strengths, or adjusts when something isn't working.

Stewart didn't want to shoot the 3 then you hear Casey yell SHOOT and he bricks it....

thing is stewart can actually hit 3s well at least he did last year probably has to get into a rhythm to hit those but we dont let him shoot just score inside the paint.

Hate to be Killian hater when he's not even playing, but you can see the fundamental mistake this team has made in prioritizing Hayes over Lee. Saben is really the only player to be able to penetrate into the lane with his athleticism. Yes, Grant can do it, but the offense is just so static right now, incredibly easy to defend.

Isn't it already clear Pistons aren't going to the playoffs? When does Weaver just tell Casey to stop playing CoJo so much?

Have you watched Saben play lately? This ain't the G-league. He drives into traffic waaaaaaay too often and gets his shot blocked a lot. Now don't get me wrong--I'd still rather see him getting minutes than Cojo since he's young and has potential, but let's not make him into something he's not. Every single player on this team has looked like absolute garbage more than once this season, Lee included.

Yep, blows my mind wondering what some people are watching. This team is missing Killian badly, Cade missing him badly. Yep, I would rather see Saban over CoJo, but no way over Killian. This stretch without Killian has been pure hell .

[Manocad]

And what happened to the defense? It sure looks like this team has given up on D. And quite frankly, I can't say as I blame them. If Casey is constantly trying to force them into an offensive game plan that isn't working and they're always playing from behind since they can't score, it's not likely they're going to be going 110% on D all the time.

[tradez401]

diallo stop shooting plz.

[aad]

This team is way worse then last season

It's Killian's fault when the whole team forgets to shoot when he's active. It's again Killian's fault when the whole team forgets how to shoot even when he's inactive.

Garza and Cade look good when they play together. Would like to see them on floor together more often.

[Mogolo]

well that was a comp. game

[vege]

Garbage roster

[Mogolo]

damn as bad of a game that Cade had he was still a +- 0 lol 10,6,6,3 stat line four TOs though

That was difficult to watch. So many open looks and misses. Having Ellington last season to overcome cold shooting was more valuable that I realized.

Casey certainly hasn't put together offensive game plans that play to our strengths this season. That said, ice cold shooting can't be fixed by the coach. Maybe a failed road trip will force some changes but if the shooting remains weak, it's going to be a long season.

Might as well start Lee, McGruder, Lyles, Garza and Pickett and see what happens. Let the normal starters watch for ten minutes.

This team is frustrating to watch. I'd be really interested to see a lineup of Cade, Diallo, Josh Jackson, Bey, and Stewart. All younger guys who play hard. Especially interested to see Diallo get a larger role with the team as he actually has a high ceiling. Have Killian come off the bench and lead whatever group of bench players excluding Cojo. Trade iso-ball Jerami Grant as well at the deadline. I'm convinced he isn't part of the long-term solution.
