I don't see how they aren't playing to win, as losing will do this team no good. So, go Pistons!

Maybe the only occasion where Ish is the better shooter than the opposing starting PG.

Should be a W Suns have lost 8 straight and Booker isn't 100%.

12-0 to finish the season and 8th seed
No doubt in my mind

This is the most interesting game we've had since we first picked up Blake.

Even if we went 12-0 to finish the season we'd need the Bucks to go 5-7 in their final 12 games for us to make the playoffs. I do think we'll finish strong and end up just missing the playoffs by a game or two... 10-2 to finish 41-41 wouldn't surprise me because a lot of teams we play down the stretch are tanking.

Reggie looking pretty good so far. Set up Blake a couple times and had a great dish to Dre (who missed the layup). Looks pretty quick on defense too.

In all seriousness we're gonna end up missing the playoffs by 2 games which is gonna hurt when u look back at some of our losses

Dre's effort and energy has been down a bit lately. He was playing incredibly hard right after the that trade but its almost looking like he has checked out a bit for this season. I thought maybe getting Reggie back would reenergize him again for the stretch run but not so sure that is going to happen.

blake made a big step with his 3 point shot this season (until he came to detroit at least) but man does he need to do nothing but work on it this off season. teams give him like ten feet of space out there EVERY TIME and he bricks 70% of them.

I was actually just looking at his splits, and he's been way better lately (February was terrible). Hopefully he's getting more comfortable and this continues, probably not at 47% 3s like he's shooting in March... wouldn't that be nice though lol

SJ just ripped the ball away from a guy like he was playing against a little kid.
