38.8% FG on the season? 33% in February..


He is #26 is real plus minus in the league, better than anyone in our team, Drummond is #40 and Blake is #75. He is having a great season on a bad team, where he can do whatever he wants, he wouldn't be that player in Detroit, he wasn't that player in Detroit and would never develop to become what he is right now.

I'm not even sure if Mitchell or Booker would be the players they are if we drafted them, they went to the perfect situation, all 3 of them, and did the best out of it so far.

He is good in those departments and used to be a lot higher then that. His court awareness is almost ahead of his skills. Look in clutch time against us, just smooth and calm hitting a game winner and running a offense.

But I think what hurts him is his home and away numbers. I haven't seen them recently but it was like going from a star at home to a complete scrub away.

Will it feel a little better when Kennard wins the 3pt contest?

Was there a game?... don't generally bother with fake basketball where defenders bail out of the way.

I dont understand why everyine is tripping because all of those players thrived because they were able to be the man in those situation and wouldnt have gotten the same situation here if we drafted them. They were not the right players to fill our holes. The only one anyone can feel any type of way about is the Stanley vs. Booker, and in the end Stanley will still be the best player for us, because if you think Stanley is in the dog house now, Booker would have gotten traded because his defense is worse than Kennard's, and his defense is just passing, barely.

Ya I surprised myself watching the whole thing as well. Durant and Lebron together was nasty. PG Westbrook and Kyrie all finished the game with them. Dayammmm
Durant Lebron George to the Lakers next year! Lol

Andre Drummond interview Q&A from over the weekend. Does mention that he loves it here because it's became his home being here 6 years now. Also got a kick out of how the "Form a **** wall" went down in the huddle.

Absolutely damning for SVG.

I honestly cannot stand him. Time to move on.

Return to Detroit Pistons
