Re: GT: Charlotte vs Pistons Wed April 1 7PM EST
The way Lance is acting saying stuff like its a totally different system and its taken a while to get use to it makes me think he screwed up somehow behind the scenes. Doesn't take 70 games to learn a system. Hes also being too nice about it.

Re: GT: Charlotte vs Pistons Wed April 1 7PM EST
Only got to half-watch the game (had the audio on throughout) due to a bit of work that needed to get done on the computer, but it sounded all good. Glad we got the win and glad we're still in the hunt, even if it's a long shot. Kemba's play tonight was an especially positive sign.

Maybe Lance heckles teammates during practice and talks trash and gets too worked up. Maybe he can't even stay focused in practice.

Lance did something, but Clifford is protecting him.

Re: GT: Charlotte vs Pistons Wed April 1 7PM EST
due to the Celtics and Nets winning we didn't gain any ground in the playoff hunt, we just jumped Indy (who we play next in Indy)

note to the front office: dont let Clifford have any input in roster decisions.

Re: GT: Charlotte vs Pistons Wed April 1 7PM EST
I wonder how different this game would have been if Drummond didnt pick up those two early fouls. Sometimes coaches try to get too cute with fouls. If your best player, and only chance at staying competitive in a game picks up 2 fouls in the 1st 3 minutes of the game, perhaps you just need to leave him out there.

I don't think it would have mattered too much, he seemed discombobulated from the jump. When he didn't kill Biz on endless alleyoops during the 2nd qtr I could see the writing on the wall. Pistons looked really disjointed tonight.
I guess they depend too much on Monroe, I think he's been averaging a double double lately. I think they should part ways with Monroe and go all-in with Drummond b/c the only way they're crawling out of mediocrity is if Drummond develops a solid post game. Moose is treadmill town.

Monroe would have destroyed Maxiell and especially Williams tonight. If Monroe plays thats a game changer.

I agree, but in this case he went back in pretty early in the second, then immediately picked up his third on a stupid and obvious over the back.

Re: GT: Charlotte vs Pistons Wed April 1 7PM EST
Good game for PJ, but I get a kick out of the shameless airballs he shoots some time. It's like he either barely touches the net on a swish or he misses the entire basket and backboard.
He's got some nice quickness on D, I'm still optimistic about his future here.

He's better than JT in every way and is probably the best guy on the team when it comes to putting the ball on the floor and decisively attacking the rim
he's still an idiot, but like... i think we all knew that
