I haven't watched, but just looking at the box scores, it appears, Blake is playing well, Drummond is rebounding like crazy and Stanley has been playing well, which is nice. Tolliver was shooting well also. Looks like depth is a little weak with Reggie out, but hopefully Kennard can start stepping up a bit more.

How are you liking it with him on the team as opposed to Harris/Bradley? Do you expect to make the playoffs?

Yes.

We are a much better team with Blake and he has made a huge impact on Drummond and Stanley Johnson. I for sure expect to make the playoffs.

Yeah we’re coming for that 3 seed

Loving it

I really liked Tobias but he didn't elevate any other players games like Blake has done so far

I really love the trade for Brice Johnson. Blake Griffin was not a bad throw in to make the salaries work.

Much enjoy long time.

Losing Bradley was actually a big positive. To say he wasn't playing well for Detroit would be an understatement. Harris and the first round pick were the real value going out. It sucks to lose Tobias, but Blake is better. Much better, and then he makes those around him better as well. This was a great trade for Detroit and will continue to be one even with the cap ramifications down the road.

I'm cautiously much more optimistic than I was before. I knew it would make this season better and he makes the team much more enjoyable to watch but I'm still Leary of his health long term.

My only concern with this trade was just his health long term and his salary relative to his average games missed per season.

The East's ass has been hanging out of its pants all year.

Pistons coming for it.

We'll see what that FRP turns into, but BG >>>> Tobi, Avery, and Boban...

Im gonna miss Tobis.

I couldn't stand watching Avery Bradley though.

And idk, I was never a big fan of Tobias

His offensive game at least was silky smooth, and he conducted himself very well even in adverse times.

It's nice to have a go to guy but once Reggie is back are the two of them going to dribble the air out of the ball all game, that's my biggest concern.

very positive results since blake arrived we just need to fix the sg position maybe sf too in the offseason.

I’m cautiously optimistic. Last four at home have been against mostly bad teams on the end of a back 2 back. Still waiting to see how it looks against a decent team on a normal night. Maybe that will be the Clippers.
But Blake signing undoubtedly helps us. The chemistry between him and the rest of the team will get better but opponents will also come up with better defensive schemes to stop him.

willie read helps more imo

I love it! We didn't give up much for what we got. Blake make everyone better. Look at Dre's number since the trade over the last 5 games
18.4 pts 20.2 reb 3.6 ast 2.6 blks 2.8 stls in 34.4 mins WHAT
