We get the "finally figured it out" Rockets. Did their "figuring it out" coincide exactly with their cutting of Melo? 4 game winning streak seems like it could match up pretty closely.

Is Glenn Robinson III any better than the min salary James Ennis IIII?

Nope. But I get the feeling that Ennis wanted more at the start of free agency, whereas GRIII took the One year +TO deal.
As of today, I don't think Pistons would pick up GRIII's second year.

With our predilection for fouling 3 point shooters I envision Harden scoring 40+ on 4 or less made fg's.

BBrown might get a crack at slowing down Harden.
If there's anything I've learned over what propped up the team's 8-6 record to-date is that on most nights, they're either able to play up/down to the level of the competition, or drag the opponent down to ours... Keep it close 'til the 4th and we've got a legit chance at this.

Had we known how little Tolliver was signing for, I'd have kept him over either of the two.

Nice, Reggie with 2 TOs and 1 stupid 3 so far. I think the worst thing that can happen to us is Andre hit his 1st 3 point attempt, you know he will try and miss a few more after that.

My God, Harden is pathetic. I wish that was a tech on him really.

Andre has 13 3pt attempts in now 15 games. You're basing this off of what again?vege wrote:Nice, Reggie with 2 TOs and 1 stupid 3 so far. I think the worst thing that can happen to us is Andre hit his 1st 3 point attempt, you know he will try and miss a few more after that.

I swear Bullock has the same disease Rip Hamilton had called "I'm 6'7 and can barely dunk so I get blocked at the rim all the fugging time".

If pistons can upgrade from Jackson they can compete with the best in the east. Reggie role is drastically reduced so basically the upgrade would be a better shooter and decision maker. I can see Kennard replacing Reggie in the lineup before the end of the year. I hope so

Ish and Andre are playing really well. I'm not surprised with Andre's airball 3 point attempt tho, I saw it coming.

I think the Pistons did well that half seeing as Paul couldn't miss from mid-range. Reggie has been pretty anonymous and sucks to lose Dre and Stanley to foul trouble when those guys were playing well (other than Dre's corner 3 attempt...). Griffin just been consistent. A few lacklustre mid-range attempts early but still super reliable.
If Dre can play most of he second half then I think it'll be close. If he can't then I think Paul/Harden might get away a bit.
Harden on 3 fouls is something that needs to be exploited. Make him nervous.

lol at Blake not going back on defense. Reggie Jackson and Glen Robinson are just terrible.
