Casey's pound the rock rock has become something akin to an ancient Indian burial ground for us that our championship was erect upon.

Casey Cup losses are our blood payment.

Outworked and outcoached. Not sure how many times Nurse needs to get torched by bad Pistons rosters to realize he doesn't need to defend them like the '17 Warriors, i.e. overhelp on every little action. I wouldn't call this an outlier shooting performance from the Pistons; I'd call it shooting practice with the quality of looks they were able to generate most of the night.

Man Cade cooking OG back to back possessions to close the game was so impressive.

Typical Detroit loss. Nothing to be upset about it's normal at this point

He just makes things happen. He needs the ball more often. He also needs to be more assertive

Detroit players probably got practice off for the next couple weeks :lol: Casey knows how to get his guys fired up against the Raps

Defense and ft shooting were trash tonight. Good game from Siakam. On to the next one, hopefully Fred is good to go.

Most points we've scored in the season. Fred's dribble for 20 seconds offense ain't it.

All i know is this scrub team came into tonight shooting the worst percentage of any team since the 60's. And worst 3 pt % in 20 years. And we couldn't stop them at all. They shot north of 50% the field majority of the game. Idk what they finished with.

Worst loss of the season. The refs didnt cause awful defense against an awful offensive team. The refs didnt cause us to miss 10 free throws .

Oh and also. Put some respect of FVV name, casuals.

This team isn’t that bad. Casey lives rent-free in Toronto’s head. It is what it is.

Meh wow Raps fall to the Pistons as former staff in Casey and Cory Joseph pulls through a victory.
The defense with not there tonight and hitting the FTs along with overhelping leading oppossing player wide open for 3.

Image. Fundamentally, we have a selfish team who doesn't like to pass. We are a bottom 3 team in assists per game with no real point guard. OG isn't a natural passer. FVV isn't a natural point guard. Trent Jr has never seen a shot he doesn't like. Barnes, a rookie, is 2nd in passes made.

Dwayne Casey making it very clear that he is and will forever be Nick Nurses father.

Of course we let Isaiah Stewart look like prime Charles Barkley against us.

Still a comfortable win if we had hit our freethrows though, damn.

At some point our terrible home record has to become a concern, because we aren't going to maintain our record on the road.

Horrible ass game. Why don’t they like giving the ball to Barnes.

Detroit being a historically bad offense as well.
