Game 25: Pistons (14-10) vs. Warriors (20-6) - 7 PM EST

[DTP]

Another W the NBA thinks it's better to give it to another team. And it's the 3rd or 4th.

at blaming the refs for losing this game

The refs didn't cost the Pistons the game but that phantom call on Tolliver for the KD three really changed the momentum.

Tough call because it had nothing to do with the shot but they're putting an emphasis on protecting shooters...so an understandable call. Tolliver was pretty reckless with his contest there; should've been a foul.

Will this team ever win another game?

People don't want to blame the refs but they're pissed off because we competed until the last second against a team with Durant, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, Iguodala and Livingston. I gotta love you guys, you really need a BIG HUG in your homes.

If you try to hug me I will fricasee your family pet.

It is no coincidence that vs. upper tier defensive teams (Bucks, GS) we've had so many shots blocked. We're undersized and nobody creates consistent separation except for Ish.

While I do agree that the Pistons have a disadvantage in height, a much more prevalent shortcoming is their athleticism.

Yeah it's definitely both. If you're not longer, more athletic, or quicker you have nothing lol

Ish/Avery with quickness, and Drummond are the only 3 players with an athletic advantage most nights. They need to play the 4th... most nights. When Reggie draws Jeff Teague/Towns and there are some exploitable defenders on the floor? Fine leave him in. Eric Bledsoe, Giannis, Brogdon, Draymond, Klay, KD etc? You have to utilize Ish's quickness.
