Tatum can’t do anything against ausar when he’s dancing at the 3 point line….get the ball in the post

Tatum needs better recognition of their active hands. Give it up when you can.

Incredible 3 point barrage - 8 or 9 in a row?
Nauseating TOs & awful D.
= TIE

My lord, Tatum's got his head up his ace today.

Wild to be this bad in this game and then just beat them to death with 3s. Tatum has been so sloppy these last two though

I've always said our toughest competition would be a team with a wing defender than can single-cover Tatum. Pistons have one in Ausar.

Horford kinda came alive late and Holiday did better job on Cade last few possessions. Now just limit turnovers in 2nd half and hope shots keep falling lol.

Can Xaiver Tillman be any worse than Walsh or Queta? OMG Try Peterson or Craig at least.

Plan for the second half - give the ball to JT, White, or PP. Everyone else get out of the way

...and don't turn it over

Then people will be mad he didn’t take the last shot. Mad if he missed. Mad when he makes it. Just mad.

You are right tho.

They need to put Tatum off ball and flash him into receiving areas near the hoop or for catch and shoot behind the line… dancing with the ball isn’t generating an advantage.

It's not a big deal, but I expect Walsh to be traded in the off season ..

Yes Tillman has been that bad this season lol. I agree about Peterson and Craig tho but I guess Mazzulla wanted to give Walsh and Queta a chance to do something meaningful in non garbage time and they couldn’t have played any worse.

The Pistons are like the Mini Thunder with the athleticism and wing defenders.

Traded to where? China? No NBA team would take him unless we attach a pick :lol:

redslastlaugh · Post #138 » by **redslastlaugh** » Thu Feb 27, 2025 1:08 am

On the positive side, we had 8 turnovers, made 1 freebie and ballgame is tied

Bar Fight · Post #139 » by **Bar Fight** » Thu Feb 27, 2025 1:08 am

The Pistons are playing their hearts out. They really should be up by more

bigfoot_cryptozoology · Post #140 » by **bigfoot_cryptozoology** » Thu Feb 27, 2025 1:09 am

Tillman's another guy whom should be ditched in the office season...
