Back-to-backs are tough to get up for, but not as much when you no-show the night before. They should be more competitive tonight.

Line is 13.

It would be hard to be less competitive than a 29 point loss.

I want to see Garza against Steven Adams. Scintillating battle, I'm guessing.

Killian looks like he’s on the cusp of being a decent nba player these past couple of games just based on the eye test

Man, I miss Garza. I love Beef Stew but he is just to short to bother many of the shots these guys put over him.

Another slow start to this one.

And he thinks he can power it up against two and three defenders.

Yep, I saw that, I was yelling at the TV, "Now ass it out and reset the offense", but nope.

This is not a team of overly sure-handed players. They fumble a LOT of loose balls away.

This has the feel of another ugly loss.

Pistonrings · Post #12 » by **Pistonrings** » Fri Jan 7, 2022 1:25 am

This is ugly, 15-0 run, now 17

Casey....Killian, Diallo and Stewart cant all start. Can have 3 non shooters on the floor. Either Hayes goes to the bench or Stewart.

Diallo should never shoot a 3 ever again. His 3's are generally horrible.

Wow! What am I watching? I just turned the game on at 8-8

Haha, what a horrible basketball team. We were actually better with all the replacement players. They at least looked interested and played with some purpose.

Also Killian is not an NBA quality starting PG. Yeah we see some sweet passes here and there but when all you can do is pass, one of them has to turn out ok at some point.

Goodwill ruining the moment

Pistonrings · Post #17 » by **Pistonrings** » Fri Jan 7, 2022 1:29 am

Nah, we don't need a 6'10 wide body Garza on the floor. Our size up front is fine.

GBanga3 · Post #18 » by **GBanga3** » Fri Jan 7, 2022 1:29 am

Johnny Kane’s interview gets a bigger screen then the actual game haha

Makes sense.

I think Garza could get hit with a baseball bat and not draw a foul.

Killian is assuredly doing what Casey is telling him to do. He is a very good defender and can grab steals. They are playing him for his potential, not what he is doing right now.
