Watching dre shoot 3s is painful to watch. Why would Casey allow it. Painful watch Stanley struggle offensively in his 4th season.

Solution: Don’t watch. I didn’t, intentionally.

friendly visitor. I hate Casey.

Without Casey:
Look at Lowry playing like best PG in the East, playing to his potential
Look at our starting center(s), playing to their potential
Look at Derozan playing like a beast in SA, playing to his potential

With Casey:
Look at Dre shoot 3s, not playing to his potential. shooting that 11.1%
- maybe next year or by end of season he can make it respectful

Stanley gets enough minutes to take 4-5 threes per game, especially when shooting 25% from the three in his fourth season.

I'm still not seeing where he's more than a bench player. I think trading him would be addition by subtraction, simply because without him around, the coach wouldn't be tempted by all his unrealized "potential" if only he "had more minutes" and realize that he's the 9th man off the bench.

I've seen enough of Stanley. I want him to have a few good games simply so we don't lose horribly in a trade as we send him on his merry way.

I'm disgusted by how bad Stanley is. His fake confidence pisses me off. I can't wait til him, Reggie, and Drummond are gone. Cant stand that clique. Fake pistons.

I don't think Stanley's confidence is fake. I think he truly believes it's the coaches that are holding him back and that he is already good enough that there is no point in working to improve his game in the off-season. His confidence is directly proportional to his delusion.

Stanley Johnson makes Glenn Robinson III look good.

this is a better way to describe whatever the hell it is that makes him think he's good at basketball.
