Please let's not panic over this one game.

We had a tough, exhausting comeback last night against Toronto that sapped all of our energy. We had to play another game 1200 miles away in less than 24 hours afterwards.

It happens. It's the NBA. The Heat lost to the Hawks at home tonight.....
I like this team

I know. Pistons still know how to beat us. They attack us on the perimeter and just drive, drive, drive, draw fouls, all game long. They slow the game down and grind it out. Stuckey and Gordon is murder for Jameer.

We cant blame them you can tell they looked slow and didnt have their legs but every team is going to have this happen when playing 4 games in five nights. So we take this one with a grain of salt we rest and get back to winning

It's all right guys, we are playing good and smart basketball, we will win much more than we'll lose. Referees have killed any chances to win this game.

Fatigue loss... but maybe we should look at giving Von Wafer minutes, take them from J-Rich

I'm not panicking, but Stan needs to play more players from the bench, there's just way to many B2Bs in this shortened season, he just doesn't understand that players get fatigued.

The Real Dalic wrote:This one is 90 percent Stan's fault, the other 10 is for Dwight focusing only on offense when he should focus on rebounding and defense imo. when we move the ball around we always win, when we pound it into Dwight we lose most of the time, especially since he can't make simple hookshots... he should post up to pass the ball out, we should only let him score when he's WIDE OPEN.


Been saying this forever. When he controls the paint, we win. When he spends all of his energy on offense we lose. Why can't he just be content with scoring 15 points grabbing 20 rebounds and 3 blocks? Oh no he has to get his touches and F...k up the rhythm of the whole team. Also did't Stan say that Earl was going to be his stopper this year. He got minutes last year yet none this. This team but mostly this coach is so frustrating. Poor guys were running on fumes. I bet Stan was a dictator in his prior life.

If Stuckey played every game against the Magic, he'd be the GOAT PG. This guy always, ALWAYS kills the Magic. He sucks against everyone else, but he flippin dominates Orlando.

Stan actually did say he would bench guys, I think it was before the Bobcats game, and we know what happened to J-Rich, then he went back into his old, sucky self.

This. he needs to earn them. it's like just cause his name is bigger than JJ's and Wafer's that he should get more time. it doesn't work that way. i think it's time start JJ who should've started at the beginning of the season imo, and bench JRich... and give Wafer SOME time if we're doing fine offensively than don't play him, but if we struggle to get 78 points against a less than mediocre team than he should at least see the floor.

Every Pistons player gets possessed when they play the Magic. It's ridiculous.

SVG with huge praise for Lewis
