Somebody Pistoned Butler's Coffee - Saturday 5:30pm PST

[Onus]

GUI was amazing. His hustle and versatility on defense. Crazy that jk is probably going to take all of his minutes but I would feel comfortable with gui still in the rotation.

"Crazy" is putting it mildly.

It’s good that this curry/moody/gui/jb/dray lineup has been working so well these last 2 games. Hopeful that jk can fit in that lineup.

My heart aches for all those poor kids hoping to see 80 freethrows in a game, their dreams crushed, so close.

[Zvaart]

Music to my ears listening to those two ladies instead of Fitz and Azubuike.

Hard fought win. Hope Buddy's shot will return this century. He has a few good plays, on both offense and defense though.

[Senchu]

Just watched the replay and wow.
First hearing women broadcasters I was concerned, then I remembered that we have Fitz and Buki, they can’t be worse, right?
And they were great! Talking about the game, calling plays, giving insights how only big guys are in foul trouble. Please make them permanents!
Remember how they say that first game back after long road trip is a trap?
Noone could hit open threes.
Was nice to see team against some good playoff defense and how they perform.
Transition defense was aweful, looked like noone from Ws giving effort and sprinting back, hopefully this is a part of being older team and in playoffs they would sprint back.
Moody was great, lookied like finals Wiggins with offensive rebounds and defense.
Post with nice floaters although bricked all open 3s
Gui, damn, I watched him play for Brasil in summer and boy he looked useless there. Here the guy had best game of his career and Kuminga has to worry if he will be able to get back his minutes
Jimmy looked not noticable but 26pts and playmaking with Post was awesome to watch.


Steph with bad shooting game and taking lessons from Butler how to get fouls, crazy to have that many free throws.

Was a good test and happy they passed. Also happy i could skip over all these freethrows and replay checks

I'm happy for Gui. Brazil currently has only one player in the NBA, so obviously I was going to root for him, but the fact he's playing for my favorite team is so great.

Looks like he improved his athleticism too, it was one of his weaknesses, the training staff must be really focusing this with him.

I'm happy for Moody as well, it's a long time coming, he deserved to be getting these minutes 2 seasons ago... he's just like a great glue player, knows his limitations and plays through them.

I feel like Jimmy still has one or two gears he can reach, he seems to get tired at times, maybe it's still the long layoff while he was with Miami, I don't know. It's so great to be have 2 bonefide closers on the team, it's a really great release valve for the other guys.

Kudos as well to Dunleavy, to my eyes he's excelling as a GM, if perhaps his worst move is the contract he gave to Hield, then we surely have much, much more positives than negatives. He found so much scrap of the barrel-kinda guys on this roster it's not even funny.

As for our chances in the playoffs, like always it will depend on which team is healthier when the important games start to roll. Still to be defined, but it's quite clear we're on an upswing, and still have room for improvement.

This was a great win. Pistons have been playing really well. Almost as good as we have since the trade deadline.

Santos is growing up with playing time. Hope he takes minutes away from Buddy, maybe some from Moody too, and let Jimmy play more SG.

Love his energy that the other 2 doesn't show with the eye test.

He's already been getting more minutes, still averaging under 14 for the whole season. But he's regularly getting more than that and against the Pistons, it was 25 minutes.

He has struggled from 3 since he got off to a hot start when he started regularly getting minutes. Teams may leave him open until his volume is up and he hits them at a good clip so it would be hard to take minutes away from Buddy and Moody, whom teams are closing out aggressively against.

It's mainly his activity rate on rebounds where he has the most impact. I haven't tracked which lineups he plays with but maybe its with some weaker rebounding players?

great W in a trap game.
never underestimate butler facing tobias harris "tobias harris over me? now way"

[Onus]

Just saw that Gui block on Jalen Duren. That was insane
