Hard tank you mean, as it should be.

We turned a 17 pt lead, into a 14 pt deficit.

These are some brutal offensive possessions. Struggle to get it over, bring up a screen for the dribbler, dribble-dribble, step back 3 - CLANK

come on!

I keep saying it, Sam and PP on the court at the same time is a bad idea.

Lead of Pistons keep growing since both PP and Sam were in there.

Brown still struggles to know when to pass and when to shoot.

Having PP, Hauser and Simons in at the same time will always be awful on D.

No size, JB as primary ball handler & playmaker — this was always going to be a tank. JB gets through the year without any complaints knowing he’s able to pad his stats even though we know he hates losing.

Only one playing right now is JB
All others are not in the game. Two steps slow, soft, and lineups are too small

Agreed. Too small, and not enough familiarity with each other.

Playing against Detroit is like this these days. We foul a ton and we’re hyper-aggressive in getting to the paint. The games are so LONG.

Embrace the tank. Losing early will give Stevens no choice. This is an epic draft coming up.

It's going to be toilet ball over dribble offense all year isn't it?
