either that or they have him ghosting screens, just another sign to me of one of areas where mose's coaching falls short....some players he just doesn't know how to utilize

Tough Shooting night but you feel horrible for Jaden Ivey.

On to Toronto on Friday.

Goga was a liability on those PNRs with Duren in the first half.

WCJ wasnt playing well either, but Goga had 3 rebounds in 23 mins and was getting cooked by Duren & the pnr badly

It wasnt any good choices, but Goga's energy looked even worse than WCJ and thats saying something

Goga has been great for us this year but it's okay to admit this lol. They all were underwhelming.

Mike Miller. Keep him happy and he helps keep Paolo happy. WCJ has future security now though so he’s probably free to be dealt when available.

I kinda feel bad for the Pistons they already suck then they lose a starter but it's ok guys at least y'all didn't lose 2 potential all stars and our best bench scorer around the same time.

Yeah i noticed all of Durens alleyoop highlights had Goga missing him.

Shouldve switched. Goga sits when Durens in, He plays when Stewart is in.

It’s a new advanced stat on the scene, but it’s quite telling.

I didn't think Wendell was that bad this game 15 points and 8 rebounds is not too bad.

I don’t mind JI being on the bench for the ending of the game. It was 5 years ago January 1, 2020 when JI had his leg injury.

Shot 12 more times and lost, we can't shoot. Good job taking care of the ball though.

Cole, Wendell and Isaac 0-11 from 3. Guys looked like decent starters not long ago and now barely belong on the floor even when our entire team is hurt. Not good, especially considering their salaries.

Decent fight on the road all things considered. Silver lining is Jett looked like an NBA player. Can he string a few of those games together?
