Cunningham
Thompson
Duren

2nd Unit:
Morris (or Sasser)
Burks
Bogdonovic
Knox
Stewart

The effort level wasn't there last game after the first 7-8 minutes. They came in ready to play and then never had enough energy after the bench came in. If I was betting on this game, I'd bet on OKC to cover that 12.5 spread as I think Detroit is losing this one by 15-20. They've been good recently too but they just feel off yesterday and I doubt the energy is there today either.

Unless perhaps Lions fans pack LCA before they walk over to watch a sold out NCF championship 64,000+ person event at Ford Field... then maybe they can bring some energy to that group.

Cade and Monte are probable on a back-to-back.. who I think should start together in the back-court, which also allows Ivey to handle the ball with the 2nd unit. Play him with Sasser, who's a shooting guard in a 1's body. Each guy can guard the other guard. Sometimes I want to see a player slap Monty's stubborn face. It takes him a month or two to do the obvious. Stewart comes off the bench as the 5 but Muscala can shoot the 3 at 40%, allowing Stew to score from inside, and to also box out 3 guys with his strength..

I'm about to be done until he stops playing Killian this heavy. This is ridiculous abd to the point we're going to have to trade him to put a end to it.

This Killian obsession, man. I can't.

Why does Monty keep playing Hayes and Ausar together?

Edit: Thank god he swapped Burks in.

I really hope we don't do anything stupid and trade our first round pick this year. If our young players were good enough we'd be better. Im out on everyone except Cade and Ausar.

Killian + Ausar + Duren minutes again...

kinda feel bad how they're booing giddey every time he touches the ball but it seems to be getting to him, he's had some brutal turnovers. burks clearly read it from a mile away both times.

Giddey with some Piston-esque passes tonight lol

Ausar getting some love today

Jdub would be our best player and he's maybe OKC's 3rd best... Pretty sad.

7r5ur · Post #15 » by **7r5ur** » Sun Jan 28, 2024 7:53 pm

Sasser is so much better than Killian it's brutal to watch Killian still consistently play over him.

Hopefully his brother ends up good

Glad Killian hasn't been back in to close the half at least

Monty, Please start Sasser in the 2nd half. You dont have to start Hayes bc he started the game. You can adjust.
