Jameer's game seemed to have fallen......off a cliff.....I don't know what it's going to take to get it back but he needs to pick his game up....I don't know what counts as "Jameer Hate" but if me thinking that Duhon has been outplaying him recently is "Hating" then so be it...../truth

Unless JRich turns it around, i would love to see him traded in March to free up time for Von and JJ.

Stan really is trying to get JRich going. Wonder how long his leash is, only 23 mp this game...

QRich taking minutes away from both JRich and Hedo.

JJ was torched by Gordon, and he didn't have a very good offensive game to counter.

Just a tough night altogether.

Yeah wasn't Jason Richardson supposed to be a good post-up player? How can he not score on Ben Gordon? Ugh I really despise him. He's so worthless.

You're right Duhon has definitely been the better player... and Jameer is my favorite player on the team right now so...

Yeah, we got outscored at the free throw line by 11, lost by 12. Detroit is one of the worst teams at FT/FGA this year too (right there with Orlando, sadly. Something to watch for).

Something about Jameer makes me worried. 1-16 from 3 since 1st preaseason game, short on a ton of shots, not really emotionally involved. He's running around well enough, passing pretty well here and there, and not tons of turnovers. But something else seems up. Though J-Rich is in the same boat, and there's no explanation for that.

Are you talking about Rashard Lewis? I don't understand, I didn't see the postgame. What was the question and how did Rashard come up?

Tonight would of been a great night to see Wafer and some other bench guys besides Q-Rich because it was obvious we had dead legs....I mean Detroit was pushing the ball every time from out of bounds and getting to the rack...that alone should tell you that we're fatigued if it happened more than once which it did....

Also i though we should of rode(nh) Ryan more offensively since he was starting to heat up...I think he got pulled because of Foul trouble but he ended up sitting for a lot longer than i would have liked...No surprise he got cold....Stan did the same thing with Redick...Sat him for an unusually longer amount of time then he just couldn't get that aggressiveness back

Before we KILL J RICH, I heard Dwight say in his post game interview last night, that J RICH said the 4 games have gotten to him, I think he is tired.

yeah, someone asked rashard...SVG had huge praise and called him the one of the best teammates, did so much for this organization, played hard against bigger 4s every night, etc

I can understand letting the older guys rest on a back to back but Q also took mintues from redick, and in a game where he came out balling and we were so desprate for offense it turned out to be costly.

Also, I wouldnt say redick was torched by gordon, more like gordon was making tough shots all night, I mean I cant even remember a single clean look he had, thats how crazy of a shooting night gordon had.
