Take all the shots Reggie, even though Galloway is on fire.

Went through a tough stretch with some close losses, lost confidence, reverted back to old habits. Now playing without confidence, can't score and can't defend.

Honestly, I think teams have done a better job scouting our offense, and we haven't been able to adjust

Yeah what I’ve been seeing is a strong loss of confidence in their shooting. Detroit’s motion offense won’t work without having enough shooting threats on the floor

The good news is that Drummond and Jackson look way better than last season, I think their improvements are legit. Just based on those two Detroit should at least be a playoff team

I'm interested to hear SVGs post game comments.

How do you explain this?

I don't even know where to start.

How is everything different like a switch was flipped?

Are you watching the game? Should I bring the Jim Mora Playoffs video back?

The entire thing kinda went downhill since that 3rd quarter against the Wizards, when it was something like 18-0 run. I agree on Drummond, not on Jackson, Jackson is the same player he was before the injuries, which is an average starter who probably needs the ball in his hands too much for his level of ability.

The only person that didn't make me angry today was Langston.

We need a shot blocking and rebounding powerfoward man, we lack a primary rim protector. Reggie needs to get the **** out of here to.

One bad stretch of games and we're already giving up on Reggie? lol

Hardest thing is to get that first win...I think they'll be fine after that. Pretty sure I read the Pistons have had the 2nd toughest schedule so far....so relax ppl.

Why waste our time with Reggie when we won’t go anywhere with him as the starting point guard.

One thing I'll give SVG is that he's straightforward with his answers. By the same token, I am SERIOUSLY F**KING SICK of the "That's on me" explanation from coaches, players or whomever. It's like "That's on me" is supposed to result in a free pass, like "Well, he admitted it was his fault, don't bust his balls about it." My reaction is "We KNOW it's your fault!!! WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO TO FIX IT?!?" Like Jim Caldwell explaining that the Lions need to figure out how to run the ball every week. NO S**T, SHERLOCK! We know that! What are YOU going to do to make it happen?

Lol Caldwell sits there with a unplugged headset on I’ve never seen him talk into it, I’m convinced he’s not involved with anything and just sits on the sidelines to give players a pat on the back.

I'm not jumping to conclusions, lol, But after watching this game I think this team should tank. I figured this team would return to form but this team is resembling last years team to me. SJ has be GOD awful. Bradley has been an upgrade but this team is STRUGGLES to score at times then I realize this team has NO superstar and you cant get anywhere in the NBA without one.

Because your ceiling is much higher with him than it is with Ish. Who else is coming in to save the day? Please explain.

Losses are just better at this point. Everyone involved needs a fresh start and it's painfully obvious.

If the Lions pull a rabbit out of the hat, go 9-7, and that leads to Jim Caldwell getting a new contract, I'm going to lose my s**t.

not only are guys not hitting shots lately but our offensive execution has been putrid. makes you wonder if they're struggling with the condensed schedule lately, they haven't had a lot of time to practice.


we play atlanta next (on the road), they have the worst record in the league. if we lose that game you know we've truly hit rock bottom.

Jeff Van Gundy during the Wolves-SIXERS game as his partner mentions the Nuggets "obliterating" the Pistons says

It's amazing how weak minded some teams are. They're winning and high fiving but once they start to lose the can't stop it/handle it.

Hmm, wonder how he'd know anything about our trash team...??

Dre is weak minded. We know this. It starts there.
