I've never been happier to see a new game thread.

Time to remove the last game from my memory!

I’ve already lost interest in this one. This looks too much like the last one. Bright side is it’s fun to watch wade **** on us one last time.

This team has looked puzzled by zone defense 2 games in a row.

The coaches need to cook up a better plan.

PG Reggie shooting 1-5 with 0 assists.

Need better play from our stars and not rely on amazing bench 3point shooting.

Hopefully we can get Blake some rest in the coming weeks. He looks exhausted

Looks like playing basketball with no small forwards isnt going to work out after all. Whaddya know the NBA scouts figured us out.
You need 2-way wings, 2-way shooting bigs, and you can't allow low iq players on the court. Assist/turnover ratio is crucial. Shooting point guards are icing on the cake IF they are plus defenders.
Weaver & Casey, govern yourselves accordingly!

We went from the team playing the best ball in the league to the worst overnight.

Just when you finally start to feel good about where your team is, they come out and lay back to back eggs against the two teams directly behind them in the standings. Not shocked to lose either of these two games against other playoff teams on the road just surprised to see us not put up a fight in either game.

Lazy pathetic bastards. I'm right pissed off.

Back to basics. When you do not have a leader at point guard, when you have a starting rookie at shooting guard who gets out scored by 20 a night, with no starting or backup small forward, with no backup power forward and a poor backup center along with a starting center who cannot be coached to play within himself. Couple that with a coach who's offense is...give it to Griffin and everyone watch him go one on one...or have mediocre shooters jack up 3's...this is what you get. Other coaches have figured it out by playing a disguised zone and frustrating their only star. As long as we keep bringing in other teams cast offs and putting them in prominent rolls we have a dim future. In a small market like Detroit, you build the team 1st and add the veteran star last, not the other way around. Does anyone think if Mitchell came to the Pistons he would be jacking up 21 shots a game with Griffin on the team. Sorry for rambling but had to get it off my chest.
