yeah, someone asked rashard...SVG had huge praise and called him the one of the best teammates, did so much for this organization, played hard against bigger 4s every night, etc


Interesting. Stan has been very hard on Anderson and is really getting on him about his lack of attention to the defense. Maybe this was Stan's way of addressing that?

He's focusing on the wrong guy... why? why does Ryan have to be the one that gets this crap from Stan when he''s playing really hard every night? why can't it be JRich for his lackluster performances these first 6 games? what about Jameer for not attacking more? what about Dwight for worrying too much about his offense? why Ryan? i don't understand Stan sometimes.

okay...

i get that tonight's loss is what some would consider a "schedule loss", but ffs! why did it have to be against detroit? it's always the same thing every time we play these guys. it doesn't matter how good we are or how bad they are, our games against detroit are always the most frustrating games of the season to watch.

meh. at least miami lost tonight.

Utterly predictable loss to Detroit. J-Rich won't be this bad all season, but he does need to get his head out of his a$$. Time to move on to the next game.

J-Rich has looked tired since he arrived from Phoenix, with a brief wake up call during the 1st half of the Bobcats game. JJ also looked really winded by the 3rd quarter. It's too bad we don't have another SG on the roster.

Yeah Ryan should not be getting that much crap from stan if that is what's going on....He should be asking why we're getting damn near nothing from J-Rich and very lackluster play from Nelson.....I know it's very early and emotions are riding high right now but i'm still going to say it....I've already given up on J-Rich...I'm going to give Nelson 1 more game before i'm willing to give up on him too...I really thought this was the game where he'll have a good outing but i was dead wrong....

Edit: When i say "Give up" i mean give up on my expectations for those two players...I set the bar high for Nelson and J-Rich this season but for J-Rich i'm done thinking he's going to break out....Nelson has one more game to prove he can play at a high level for us

He probably won't be... but why can he have 6 bad games and still be our starter? and Von Wafer takes ONE bad shot and gets benched for the entire season? This is one of the things i hate about Stan.

Yep. i'm ready to give JJ that starting spot and Wafer the primary backup SG spot, lets trade JRich to upgrade in another position.

Because J-Rich is a better NBA player than Wafer. If coaches went around yanking guys from the starting lineup because of (everyday vanilla) 6-7+ game slumps, chaos would erupt. That said, I would've brought in Wafer, Hughes, Harper, anyone, for a few at least a few minutes tonight just to shake things up and see what happened. 78 points is brutal.

It's Detroit, though, mostly. They could field a team of gerbils and win, so long as they wore Pistons jerseys.

Dude RELAX. Everyone is tired the sked is tough. Back to backs, 3 games in 4 nights, can be tough. I think J RICH is doing fine...he has played real well, in past couple games, attacking and posting up

Another reason Orlando lost is because total ineptitude at rebounding. YUCK.

TBH I wouldn't look to much into this game, it being our third back-to-back in a row, And the fact that Detroit always has these kind of games against us.

It was definitely due to a lack of energy. Also if you take out the crazy shot clock expiring miracle shots which it think were at least 9 points we could and should have won this game.
