That was awesome!!

Literally can't remember the last buzzer beater we've had, only memories i have are of RJ missing multiple buzzer beating shots!

We were paying like $5 here in Australia, knew i should have loaded up

Are you guys listening to Casey right now? He’s such a great players coach and just the opposite of SVG which makes players respect you more

So far this season. 4 game winning streak. 5 game losing streak. Now 3 for 4 in the win column.

Also, we're now 14 games in and Blake or Dre has led in scoring every single game. Everyone else has been wildly inconsistent.

The rest of November is easy aside from back to back games against HOU. December is BRUTAL

Yeah that’s what I was thinking was in December. I remember looking at in 2K today and it looks frightening

Casey's not shy about firing shots at Nurse. Pregame he says that Toronto is running the same plays they did last year.
At the end of the day, it's not about wins and losses. Teamwork, fair play, and good sportsmanship make champions of us all.

Go arbitrary assortment of athletes! Beat the other arbitrary assortment of athletes or my mood will suffer!

Someone give Jose Calderon a pat on the back. With the inbound clock winding down and everbody on the floor scrambling for position, he patiently waited until the last moment before whipping that pass to an incoming RegBull at the smallest window he had for a catch-&-shoot-&-win. :biggrin: :biggrin:

The players sure seem to love Casey. They wanted to get the win for him.

I haven't thought Casey was a perfect coach by any means, but he's certainly better than SVG in that regard.

He's not the best at Xs-&-Os, nor is he great at in-game adjustments on-the-fly... But he doesn't throw his players under the bus, and makes his guys feel that he gives a damn about them individually... Even those players that never break into his regular rotation.

Good win for you guys. Not surprised at all seeing a Casey-led team rally back after being down by almost 20 in the 3rd. Seen it many times before, possibly his best attribute as a HC is his ability to get guys to play hard for him. I'm not the biggest fan of his coaching habits and styles, but he's a classy guy and I'm happy he got this W. Clearly it meant a lot to him.

Excerpt from http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/25280266/dwane-casey-gets-standing-ovation-toronto-detroit-pistons-comeback-win wrote:
"They were pulling for me," Casey said. "I appreciate that tremendously. It's a players league. It's about the players -- it's not about coaching. But again, it's about human beings. And those human beings, they felt for me. Telling me -- I was trying to deflect it as much as they could, but you know, Blake was the first one. He said, 'This is a great win for you, Coach.' And that means something, when your star player comes to you and tells you that, and other players join in."

I often pick on Stanley but I have to handed to him. That was one hell of a second half. This is how he can be an impact player in the nba, murderous d, corners 3s and the ocasional push on transition. This would be enough and last night was a great example on how great he can be

My two cents...

Drummond played another nothing game. Looks like his near misses got his head down and it's lucky the rest of the team was able to overcome.

Blake was his usual self which is great.

Jackson went back and forth from amazing to horrendous. He looks like he's coming along well but he needs to use his other guys late in games. Over all he was good.

Stanley played the game I wish he played on a nightly basis. Great d and controlled offense. He has once again found his role on the bench.

GR and Bullock had great looks but just weren't scoring enough. Hopefully they can turn it around.

Ish was solid as usual and too fast at times.

Happy to see leuer get some burn and do some useful things. He needs to keep it going and i think he'll be useful (still not worth his deal)

I think they make a habit of locking game threads shortly after the game ends and then set up a post game thread. They have a very active fan base.

I remember in the early to mid 2,000's, the Pistons had the 3rd largest thread and post count of all RealGM.
