I want to go back and add up all the points we left off the board from missed wide open layups and missed wide open jump shots.

Is Tolliver the only guy on the team capable of hitting outside shots consistently?

There really hasnt been any negatives to the post cancer Pistons, the zero touches & recently complete ignorance of Drummond in the last few games has been a huge disappointment though.

Just stop it man.

With jennings we had an identity,he was the heart of this team and now that hes gone,makes me really relize just how good he was for us this season.Hopefuly he bounces back next season,other than the suns,hes in the best spot for re-habbing and coming back strong.

Really? Silly me, I thought it was the laughing stock team loaded with high picks that still continued to be a** with those high picks that went and added LeBron James and Kevin Love that was winning.

Thanks for correcting again... cause Lebron & Love were low picks right

SVG needs to do a better job of getting Dre involved offensively for sure, but there's just no justification for missing easy shots like that when you're a 6'10 290lb freak of nature, even if his touches are limited.

Both him and Monroe should look to improve their finishing ability in the off season.

Fair enough.

People exaggerate their struggles around the rim obviously but I would like to see both around 60%, especially with Drummond's athletic ability.

I know he cant be hired,but shaq would do wonders with andre and teaching him to be tuff and use his size against players and around the rim.

This x a million.

Shaq & Barkley are 2 of the smartest guys when it comes to low post play.

They broke down post play on Inside last year, it was phenomenal. Think its on youtube.

That's not why he missed. Being shocked? Lol c'mon man.

Such a disappointing stretch after the last few weeks. It would be nice to find a way to turn it around.

bballnmike · Post #279 » by **bballnmike** » Wed Jan 28, 2015 2:55 am

Too many missed layups and putbacks. Battled hard, but seemed like they were missing that little extra push (Jennings) to make a serious run in the second half.

The point that us phasing him out on offense wasnt hard to miss.

Additionally, when we ignore the tall, uncoordinated guy in pick up ball all game then I hit him on a drive & dish he's a complete mess. Drummond getting regular touches (doesnt have to be iso post ups where he always looks to score) is the most important aspect of this team right now.
