Game 34: Pistons (19-14) @ Magic (11-24) - 7 PM EST

[sludgefoot]

Stan does not develope rookies. He breaks them down, convinces them they are not capable, then watch's as all self confidence seeps out of them. All, while the Pistons, a middle of the road team plays other teams bench players, instead of playing our 1st round picks.

Don't you guys feel this was expected? 1st game without Reggie and without a backup PG. Getting Bradley back will help a lot. In the broadcast they said he might be back the next game.

How are we worse without Reggie? Isn't he a bad attitude ballhog that makes the team better by his mere subtraction?

Because the team is down 3 injured players. And I don't know why I couldn't resist responding to you, since I personally consider you a nuisance on these boards. But since you asked in the sarcastic manner with which you tend to do(just my honest opinion)... I'll waste my time with a very logical answer for you.

3 injured players? Please PLEASE I hope you're not including Leuer in there, who's another guy this board has taken a dump on. So again if we go by the comments of this forum removing Reggie and Leuer from this team for nothing (albeit a bag of chips is what most are looking for) should improve the team. Right?

I'm not sure how you consider me a nuisance to the board when I post very little in comparison to most. Is it because you don't like that I sarcastically call out stupid comments that people make off emotions? Avery Bradley has been down and they've still been holding serve without him, so miss me with the "down 3 injured players" argument. Maybe people need to realize that Reggie is more important than some G League scrub that's holding the team back. If you're not one of these people then I'm not sure what your argument is. If you are, you deserve to be "nuisanced".

A couple observations from the game:


1.) Kennard doesn't seem to be as comfortable starting versus coming off the bench (similarly to Stanley). Maybe its because he gets less touches and can't work themselves into a groove? Or maybe its just the level of competition is too much for him at this point. Could be a combination of the two.

2.) Galloway is not a point guard. He was -13 when he was in the game (exact amount we lost by). He also cant shoot 1-9 again with 1 assist if we plan on winning many games. Such a disappointment.

3.) We got good efforts from Tobias, Andre, Bullock, and Ish. The rest of the team stunk. If guys dont step up while we are short handed we will be a lottery team (quality wise) going forward.

Starters should be Dre Tolliver Tobias Bullock Ish
Bench should be Moreland Tobias SJ Luke Galloway

Plenty of excuses out there for that loss... But Kennard -22, why was the lineup so dysfunctional with him in it. He is young, but plenty of players taken after him in the draft have had bigger impacts on the floor this year.

Ellensen looks a lost cause, Stanley is hit and miss and now Kennard has some worrying signs.. What is wrong with the development of these picks which have failed to live up to their hype.

Bust like are last year 3 draft picks. SVG cant draft its obv at this point.

His drafting isn't deplorable; his handling of rookies/young players is.

Ellenson looks like a lost cause because SVG decided to make him look like a lost cause.
