This ones on me for calling it an easy win. L taken and lesson learned

If there is something SVG has built in this time and which is our best improvement, is this team almost never gives up. Stay confident!! GO DETROIT!

Sucks to say but it's clear we thought this would be an easy win and 100% effort wasn't necessary.

i swear i've seen a few times where he jumps after the player has released their shot. part of that is being out of place though.

That should tell you just how bad Stanley has been in practice and off the court. Yessh

-17 in 12 mins is horrible.. No reason to continue running him out there at this point.

Yup, my main fear. Losing their footing. Still time but this deep its hard to reverse direction.

I don't think we should be dumping the ball to Dre in the post unless he's literally under the basket after getting deep position in transition or something.

Just think we have better scoring options and we've wasted a couple possessions posting him up this game, the hook's not falling today.

Jackson's legs look great.. That fear we can at least put to bed.. He looks quick and has good cutting motion.

He has some bad timing but he's also a rebound whore. Going for blocks puts him out of position to get boards. Can't blame him tho, usually the help man doesn't take Dre's man and chaos ensues.

Reggie's pretty good but we've playing a good offense and sharing more the ball without him this last games. If we find a balance in usage between him and KCP would be great for us.

As much as I love Reggie, I think best case scenario is if he accepts a 6th man role with heavy minutes. Ish has great chemistry with the starters

I disagree. Reggie is our starter.

Definitely not the opportunities he's had the last couple weeks. They're running him off way fewer screens, and he hasn't had nearly the number of open spot-ups he's had.

They've got to rebuild that chemistry though...
