It's way more inspired than this team's play so no worries.

Terrible first quarter on the glass & defensively. Especially Josh the entire qtr & Monroes short stint against Kaman.

We have 3 maybe 4 players that could actually make the Blazers roster.

My highlight of the first was Jennings lob that flew 26 feet above Drummond's head.

Not one of our PG's, SG's or SF's would even get PT on the Blazers.

If you're not going to give Dinwiddie PG minutes please give him these SG minutes that Cartier Martin is getting. Dude is clearly not much of a contributor.

Looking at NBA stats... Pistons are:
2nd worst at finishing drives in the league, 38.2%. Bad around close too.

4th best at oFG% at the rim, which is great considering our defense last year was based on steals/blocks.. now they actually play defense!

13th best at catch and shoot 3pt, 37%. So pretty average.

36.7% on Pull Up Jumpers... 3rd worst.

10th worst in passes per game 287. So that's just below average a bit. Lol

Wesley Matthews should be a top target for us this summer, he is outstanding & exactly what we need

Man. Mathews, Dragic, Tobias Harris, Jimmy Butler. There are so many players we can throw big money at this FA. I can't wait to let Moose go and pick up a top 3 pick talent with two above average FAs. I think it just makes too much sense to do that.
Defense wins championships
