Pistons have a good opportunity to catch back up in the standings. They haven't earned my trust at all yet after this bi polar season so we will see if they choose to capitalize or not during these next 3-4 games.

he didn't post up much and didn't play in the 2nd because of hack a dre and baynes defensively was holding it down. It was 2 nice a* assist though.

Re: Game 44: Pistons (19-24) vs. Hawks (24-17) - 8 PM EST
So the theme here tonight and one of the reasons we got up so large so fast................go ahead guess.................PASSING THE BALL. The ball wasn't sticking to anyones hands even reggie. When the Hawks started making a run guess why............we weren't passing the ball.
Now guess who set that tone.................RJ.
When RJ is making the right decision between pass and score, the team reacts and ball movement is apparent, the whole teams involved and it translates to the other end of the floor. This is purely based on observation and nothing else. Problem has been RJ's decision has been mostly, i am going to score.
Having guys like SJ and RB who tend to consistently be moving off ball really helps in promoting that movement as it makes RJ's decisions or whomever a lot easier.

Split personality continues!
FFS can we just get it together long enough to move into the top 6 and maybe that would encourage our guys to go all out all the time

imagine if this team gave this kind of effort every game. Hell, id happily take it every 2 of 3 games. Problem is, its been 2 steps forward, 2 steps back all year.
Im going to reserve excitement until they put a streak together, but if they get blown out the next game, it certainly wont shock me at this point.

ATL has the 21 ranked Offense slightly better than ours.
Get your facts straight Mr. Positive.
Check the last 10 games... Current trends are more of a true indicator.... But yeah we suck after a big win.
Yeah you're the only one saying that; but it doesn't change the fact we still have a losing record, I mean current trends are more of a true indicator right?

Yeah this how I feel, not going to get excited until we're above .500.
