Pillendreher wrote:Looking at their numbers, this looks a hell of a lot like their "hot start" last season. Their most used lineups are - once again - losing to the opponent and they have a bunch of bench players with way too high NetRtGs. Things will probably even out as the season goes along and they'll be once again fighting for that 8th spot, if anything.

They also have had the easiest schedule in the league up to this point. Dead last in the league in SOS. Difference between them and 29th place Miami in SOS is the difference between Miami and 24th place Charlotte as well...

Missed the first few minutes but from what I've seen pretty solid overall.

That is an amazing lead for how bad we play.

No idea what Russ is doing out there.

So many bad passes. Detroit is getting way too many easy looks at the basket.

Shooting 55% to their 30% helps a lot.

Such a great defensive performance so far, but we forgot to score. Detroit should be happy being down only by 10 :(

I’ll always take a double digit lead on the road at half time. Detroit probably won’t shoot so poorly in the second half. Sometimes I wish the broadcast did a better job showing replays. There were questionable calls on both sides I wanted to see again.

Everyone's definitely more active on defense this year.

Yea but sometimes as a fan I just get frustrated when ever player doesn’t do everything right on ever single play.

Oh same, just more energetic though. At least there's 1 thing I can't be upset with.

I kind of wonder if this might be the night billy brings out his Adams/Noel lineup.

Only mild disappointment that Adams couldn't keep the perfect shooting line

I kinda feel like Drummond ought to be able to kick his own chair without a technical but I’ll take it.

I thought some weeks ago that Adams had reached his peak. Glad I was wrong. He's a monster.
