GT#12 Pistons @ Wizards 6 pm 11/17/24

Pistons are 6-8 & have been solid on defense. Cade Cunningham is averaging 23.2 points, 7.1 rebounds and 8.6 assists a game.

The Wizards will welcome a healthy Malcolm Brogdon in hopes he increases his trade value while also increasing JV & KK’s trade stock.

Let’s go Wiz !

Fine with his increasing JP and CK's trade stock as well. Let's get somebody traded for a 1st now that MB is healthy again.

What I'll be watching for until it happens is the Wiz leading at halftime.

That should be this young group's small challenge to self for now.

Next challenge, winning the game after leading at half.


Let's go Wiz!!!

Brogden sighting. Coming in very early. Let's see how he plays.

What was that tech on Holland about ? Hardly seemed like it deserved a T

Probably just to send a warning or try to prevent things from escalating. Refs have been directed supposedly to try to avoid double techs and give it to the offending party but it seemed like it was much ado about nothing although maybe whatever Holland said was inflammatory .

Very unenjoyable game today. Awful D and shooting bricks all over the court…

Alex Sarr having probably his worst game of the season…awful is an understatement.

Bilal on the other hand is having a great game. Him and Poole are the only two bright spots.

Not able to watch this game in real time. Took a quick glance at numbers so far & glad to see Kuz increasing his trade value!

What's good about this season? Will the young players keep a positive mental approach and develop professionalism?

Alternatively, isn't it possible they learn to accept defeat and develop habitual lack of competitiveness.

Uhh...we shot 44% from 3. The problem was rebounding and turnovers.

True but we bricked so many mid range and at the rim shots…

Let’s hope and pray someone is willing to trade for him soon…we’ll be lucky to get a 1st rounder in my opinion.

We shot the same percentage they did from the field and from 3.

They took more shots than us and it didn't seem we pushed the ball the way we've been doing.

Few times where Sarr would grab a rebound and then stop to locate the PG instead of pushing it up the court like we know he can.

Kuzma didn't even attempt a jumper in the 2nd half which struck me as odd after his chucking last game.

Brogdon looks really slow.
