aad · Post #1 » by **aad** » Sat Nov 9, 2013 4:43 pm

I really been stressed these last two losses been painful now we go on the road where the only game I can see us winning is the kings game

blazers-loss
GS-loss
Kings-Win
Lakers-loss

I will be happy if we could go 2-2 but idk what you guys think

3-1 with a loss to GS.

We will have to play lock down defense and we will have to be a monster on the boards

Maybe our team need this time on the road to bond

2-2, I think we beat the Lakers lose to G.S. and win one of Port/Sac.

I'll be there, nearly courtside, for the game at GS on Tuesday. We can't lose!

LOLZ. We're probably going to get crushed in that one. Perimeter defense just ain't our thing right now.

I anticipate a 2-2 finish, but Portland could get hot and make it a 1-3 trip. I don't see Detroit losing to the Lakers or Kings.

I think we'll go 2-2
L v POR
L v GSW
W v LAL
W v SAC

I wouldn't be surprised if we beat Portland either

0-4 if the rotation stays the same. Otherwise, I see us lose just against the Warriors and go 3-1.

lol what?? other than KCP in for bynum, how could you possibly change the rotation that much?

theoretically we should be a better team than all of those teams except from the warriors, but playing on the road is going to make it a lot tougher. the lakers seem to have some kind of home court magic this year, and portland are a pretty underrated team. battling with cousins in sac should be fun to watch. im not going to predict which ones we win or lose, but ill say we go 2-2.. we could beat any of them, and we have a bad loss due to the road (or the lack of 3pt defense this season when you play the warriors) against any of them.

Maybe Billups will retire tomorrow.

It's not just KCP in for Bynum. It's using the right guys at the right time and in the right situation. Playing Datome at his real position, small forward, is a start. Using Mitchell instead of JJ could be a good call too. Reduce Billups' minutes to 20-24 max is another thing I want him to do.

I was chocked at the Thunder game when Andre and Josh were in foul trouble that he chose to go with that line-up: Monroe/Datome/Singler/Stuckey/Bynum. And it seems to me that we were leading at that moment in the game. That should never happen! If 2 of our 4 best players are on foul trouble, the 2 others must be on the court. Plus, a frontcourt composed of Monroe and Datome is a joke defensively.

Here is the rotation I want to see in this road trip (to win 3 games on 4):
Drummond/Monroe
Monroe/Smith/Mitchell
Smith/Datome
Billups/Caldwell-Pope
Jennings/Stuckey

I'm going to predict a 4-0 finish.

1-3?? Considering our 3 losses have been against CONFERENCE FINAL TEAMS and we've played hard in each one... all of a sudden we can't beat the Kobe-less lakers or the Blazers?

I'm gonna be optimistic and say 3-1. A loss to GSW

DBC10 · Post #14 » by **DBC10** » Sun Nov 10, 2013 5:22 am

I laughed really hard at the fact that you had us losing against Blazers and the broken down Lakers.

I'm not underestimating them, but you're overrating those two teams for what it's worth.

joseph mamah · Post #15 » by **joseph mamah** » Sun Nov 10, 2013 5:43 am

after looking at the schedule we may lose the Laker game. if they fly out after the Sac game they're going to be in LA Friday and Saturday night, I bet come Sunday some of our boys and our coach are going to be a little hungover. hopefully Jennings and Games paths don't cross again while we're out there.

DetroitPistons · Post #16 » by **DetroitPistons** » Sun Nov 10, 2013 6:01 am

I think 3-1 is very possible and even 4-0 if GSW continues to struggle. They lost their last two and only scored 78 and 90 points and the loss to the Griz was a blowout. If we lose it will be because Bynum/Singler/Datome get lit up for a couple stretches of the game and give up a 10-0 run or something.

Oh, and start Stuckey!

0-4, because this team is too retarted to win on the road

maybe 1-4 if drummond doesnt play like maxiell again

So if Drummond improves, they get to play an extra game? Dafuq?

We are 2-3 and we have already played 4 games at home, it's not really promising.

Losses to Memphis, Indiana and OKC. 3 of the best 6-7 teams in the league.
