I really hope Ivey can come back in a month and be at least 80% of his old self. He generates the most offense on the team besides Cade and the "IvEy CaN't PlAy DeFenSe" really falls on deaf ears when our starters keep allowing a million points without him.

To be fair, Duncan Robinson can’t play defense either, so…

Duren is just throwing the ball around randomly.

He's not the only one. We're driving into traffic and tossing up garbage hoping for a bailout.

Duren keeps getting into foul trouble and we play better when they have to sit him down.

Another big deficit overcome. Now let’s play a good second half.

Because Stewart is better than him. He has half the talent of Duren but twice the brains, when he's not losing his temper.

Stew plays twice as hard, too.

I'm starting to wonder if Ausar has a chance to be our 2nd leading scorer this year. He's just so active out there in transition and making off ball cuts, etc. I never would have thought it going into this season but he might be be a 15+ PPG guy this season.

I know a lot of it is the nature of OUR team and JBB, but… man our games are chippy. All the time.

I don’t mind. :)

And he doesn't have plays called for him. He's got brains, heart, size, athleticism. I think he and Stew are the most improved Pistons so far, and Ron.

lmao i hope the guy replacing the mesh doesn't have performance anxiety because there's about 18,000 people watching him and waiting to get the game started.
