Bullock had a decent stat line team would be solid if it had a true first option.

No worries. I'm not interested in stating why this team is out dated in almost every conceivable way again. Enjoy the game!

TAKE THAT FOR DATA.

Oh well. A loss is a loss is a loss, but I 100% stand by what I said.

weird how matchups work... our previous game we beat houston 108-101 in what was one of the better defensive performances against them this season (top 20). this game was by far the best a team had defended them. their offensive rating was 91 tonight, their previous worst was 96 to memphis and they only had three games below 100 all season.

Pretty happy with the way the team played, although it was a bad shooting night. Griffin (please stay healthy) is a stud. Kennard (sure, I expected and wish they'd drafted Mitchell) looks like a player. Odd futility from 3, but an overall good floor game. It was a fun game to watch. The Pistons lost a hard fought overtime road game against the team with the best record in the league.

Turn on the Michigan game. Much better basketball.

Who doesnt love perimeter passes for 20 seconds at a time? I understand being a fan of the team but it’s not better basketball.

I didn’t say that college basketball was better than the NBA. I said that the Michigan game—they put an absolute clinic in the destruction was Texas A&M—was better basketball than this game. So unless you were watching both games like I was I don’t see how you have a basis for dispute.

Not to mention that Michigan scored 99 points in 40 minutes of regulation. So much for slow play. :lol:

Yup. I don’t understand why so many pistons fans say that the game has passed by griffin. He is playing masterfully as of late and truly looks the part of a star. He single-handedly collapses a defense and makes the right play the majority of the time.

Also, I’ve been high on kennard for some time now. Dude plays an incredibly heady/crafty floor game for a rookie, but since he doesn’t have a 44’ vertical (38.5’ is his unofficial measurement,) people write him off. I, for one, am really excited to see how much he’s going to grow as a player.

But Stanley, my god. His defense can be game-wrecking, but I think you just have to live with his inconsistencies on offense until he can shoot 35%+ from deep. That being said, I still don’t think you trade him unless it’s part of a deal that lands us a star wing player, his defense is just too valuable.
