Game 29: Pacers (13-14) @ Pistons (14-14) - 7 PM EST 

Post#1 » by Jaisy » Sat Dec 17, 2016 9:35 pm

W-L-W-L-W-L-W-L... W 2night? This month is not too exciting for our guys from Mo-Town. Our last 3 games were terrible to watch. I hope we can shake it up tonight on the b2b. We are facing PG and his Indiana. They are not having as great season as people predicted.
We need a better Tobias, and please, Stan, do not run with Ish and Reggie in the same time. I heard that Ellis and Stuckey are probably out, so this is a right moment for KCP to shine. Myles Turner is showing a great potential, and he is a quite nice of a shooter so Dre will probably show his lack of outside defense. This is a last game for Indianas road trip. They are 0-2, they lost to Miami and NO. Going under .500 record would be tough for us, especially when some of Pistons fans thought that we'll go for 4W in a row against Philly, Dallas, DC and now Pacers. DEEETROIIIT BASKETBAAAAAAAAALL!

Jackson has been our problem recently, he needs to step it up, make changes, get healthy whatever

I was just about to ask if I was terrible for having next to zero interest in this game. UNC and UK seems a lot more entertaining.

1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

Maybe 20 years ago when I knew all of the players because they were there for more than a year. College ball hasn't been the same in a long time, I barely even watch the tournament anymore.

Something is off with this team. Reggie is the easy answer, but I don't think it's only him. This year has been a disappointment so far.

When Reggie learns to push the tempo and actually run the offense it will make a world of difference. I give it another 2 weeks before I start to panic though.

Aren't we a half game out of the #3 seed?

I hear you, but at least the players act like they give a &*$#.

Next 5 games will push us down a bit too unless we have another stretch that doesn't make sense.

Pacers
Bulls
Grizzlies
Cavs
Warriors.

We could win 3 of those without playing great, I also think we matchup pretty well with GS, who's going to compete with Drummond?

Wish I was as confident in this team as you appear to be.

Not saying we're going to win 3 or 4 of these games, just don't think it would be crazy if we did, very realistic. We could also lose all 5 though lol
