Pistons-Jazz (9pm PLUS)

MortSahlfan · Post #1 » by **MortSahlfan** » Wed Nov 23, 2022 6:20 pm

Remember, it's on 707 (Comcast) Bally's Plus.. pre-game at 8:30

I'm very curious how the guys do tonight, especially a back-to-back. If a team like Utah can trade their three best players (getting picks and KO) and have the best record in the West, we surely can do better.

People all over the internet keep talking about how we're competitive, fun to watch, etc.. Sometimes the opponent doesn't play as hard, but I also think a team with guys out will play hard as they can, knowing they'll have to for 48 minutes. And guys know it might be their only chance.. Kenny Smith says it all the time; how any team can win 35-40 games just by playing hard. But sometimes, it's just finding the right combination of guys. It's odd how guys with LESS chemistry on the court played better.

We gotta lead the league in back to backs

Expecting Ivey to come out hot after being benched in crunch time.

Might be a tough one due to b2b's at altitude. Jazz also generate a lot of movement on offense, which could exhaust the Pistons even more.

Hope we get a nice bounce back game from Ivey for sure.

This is definitely a different brand of defense than the Pistons have been playing

We should of drafted old man Murray. Another 0pt 4 reb night for the 22year old rook in 21mins. He could of been the tank commander!

CoJo - Burks - Diallo - Knox - Duren has been a super effective bench unit for us. Once again our bench unit is outperforming the starters.

Bagley really a really nice dribble in and post up spin move at the rack. He's certainly got the talent to play on the offensive side of the ball.

Kessler with 5 blocks in 8 mins wow

By what measure? Outperforming the starters or outscoring the opponent bench by more than the starters are outscoring the opponent starters?

Better plus/minus... when I posted the starters were all essentially even and the bench unit was bewteen +7 and +10... That said, of course its easier to outplay opposing benches than starting units. Still, 30 bench points in much less minutes than the starters and the bench scoring is nice and spread out with everyone having at least two made FGs it was a really nice effort from the bench unit.
