Detroit Muscle VS Cuddly Canadian Dino's OCT 19 7:30 

Post#1 » by zeebneeb » Tue Oct 18, 2016 6:08 pm

Last preseason game in a Home and Home that goes into the regular season, at the start of the regular season @Toronto.

Im hoping to see the regular season lineups, and rotations in this one for the first two quarters and then play everyone in the second half.

Huzzah! Its the last semi-meaningless game! It means everything for certain posters, and absolutely nothing for others! Whose trade will win out in whats assured to be a crazy thread filled with arguments about who should be our third string guards!

Will King Henry be the leagues MVP this year! This game will decide it!

Will Detroit muscle cars continue to use Raptor fossil fuels to power their 700HP motors?

Both of them? Geez

We need a new nose strength and conditioning coach

seriously though, it does seem like we always have at least one guy in a mask every season going all the way back to Rip

Boban punched Baynes to get more minutes and the aftershock broke Harris' nose too.

Boban is leading the team in FTAs (4.8 per game) in only 14 mpg with a 2.08 FTr. By comparison Harden's FTr was 0.52 last year (Boban's was 0.65)

I think he's going to be the solution to Hack-a-Dre. Drummond gets us in the bonus early, then Boban comes in and all we have to do is throw him the ball and spend the rest of the qtr shooting FTs with a 78% shooter.

And if that becomes a recurring theme, teams will just stop fouling Drummond if the end result is more advantageous to us than them.

While Baynes is just as good a FT shooter, he doesn't get to the line enough to capitalize on it. Boban is going to make teams pay for putting us in the bonus.

Not to be that guy but he is also averaging a ton of turnovers as well. 6.6 per 36, 2.5 in 14 min.

Can't help but feel this season will be filled with untimely injuries, if so far is any indication

yeah but most have been flukey. Like weird offensive foul calls, trying a no-look pass, getting stripped etc. Not stuff that figures to be an ongoing issue. Turnovers are always higher in PS. He only avg 0.5 per game last year.

the team has also been making a concerted effort to get him the ball in the post which has contributed to both his high free throw rate and turnover rate.
