SL #2 - Detroit @ Houston - 6:30pm (NBATV, Ballys)

[MortSahlfan]

Holland should have a better game tonight.

[MortSahlfan]

That would be nice. He was projected as our 5th pick on NBADraft.net for a long time.

(looks like someone deleted their comment about how Ron wanted to dunk on him)

[MotownMadness]

Shep looks like the front-runner for ROY. Dudes gonna come out slinging.

ou said after the draft that you didn’t get a sense that you be drafted at No. 5. How have you processed that since then? Ron Holland: “I’ve been dealing with it fine. I’m not putting pressure on myself or anything. If I had gone 13, 11 or 1, it would’ve been the same thing. I’m getting in the gym every single day. Nothing changes about my habits or anything, I’m just going out there and trying to dominate as much as I can and listen to my coaches and vets every single game.”

“Once [JB] Bickerstaff became the coach, he talked to me about being myself. That’s about bringing the leadership qualities that I have and the winning mentality that you have. Then you have guys like Cade Cunningham. They’re putting a lot of great dudes around us. I think they’re building this team to be a franchise that can really turn things around. I really think we’re going to win a lot of games this season. I think it’s going to be a huge step in the right direction with starting to make the playoffs and the Play-In. Hopefully we end up getting a championship these next few years. I definitely think I’ll be in the rotation just because of what I bring to the table. I’ll be able to do whatever Coach needs to be to do, whether it’s off the bench or just for a few minutes. Any opportunity that I get, I just want to play hard and will do whatever it takes.”

To clarify, you see getting into the playoffs or at least the Play-In as a realistic goal this season? Ron Holland: “For sure. I think everything is possible. We got the right group of dudes. We have the right mentality. We have the right coaches. Everybody around us have the right mentality about everything. Now it’s just time to get in the gym and work with those guys. Hopefully we can get it done.”

Welp. He’s delusional, but I have no problem with positive delusions.

Cade seems to have stopped making optimistic pre-season predictions, so the mantle has been passed.

[Cowology]

I love it. Drinking all the kool-aid. Lesgo!

[Piston Pete]

Hoping for noticeable improvements from everyone in tonight’s game.
