Blake playing out of his mind helps, Drummond **** around with 20/20 games wouldn't hurt either.


Reggie Jackson shooting 40% from 3 on 7.5 attempts per game doesn't hurt either :D And Ish is shooting 60%+ from 3 on 4 attempts per game. Those are crazy numbers for carrer below average 3 point shooters.


I was about to flip a brick when Reggie keep missing those free throws against Cleveland in the last minutes, but he's done well this season

He has been surprisingly good as SG. Sometimes he has been forcing things too much and doing dumb plays on defense but I think his 3 point attempts are under control and I like that quite a lot.

Sooo, the thread title is no longer applicable... But 81-1 could still be a thing! Lets go, Pistons! :biggrin:

Good at stand-still threes. Bad at everything else. Awful on defense. A net negative.

Last game supports the 2 popular answers to the 4-0 start.

We finally play a good team at full strength- we lose. Blake finally has a bad game- we lose.

Wing play has been horrific thus far in general. That must improve or we could very well miss the playoffs entirely. 3 good players does't get us there alone.

Celtics weren't at full strength. Baynes was out. They had zero physical defenders. They wasted Blake anyway.

This roster is really bad. Nobody else there who can step up if Blake does not drop 30+ points every single night.

To be fair, those minutes went to Theis, who destroyed us at a level that Baynes probably isn't capable of, so I don't think that helped us any.

Theis had 17/8 in 19 minutes.
Baynes averaged 4.3ppg and 6.3rpg in similar minutes against us last year. (3 games)

+/- Baynes obviously wasn't going to make a difference in that game. We got outplaying in essentially every possible way.

Yeah, but the biggest way was in the inability to hit the outside shot, which 'set the table' for everything else.

Theis is better at scoring, Baynes is better at defending. But the Celtics ultimately did not need help defending Griffin.

Definitely not because of Stanley Johnson
