NOW the season gets interesting...

[Trackjack]

Fire stotts?

No I didn't say fire Stotts but if continue not be able adjustment through then he might be the wrong guy for the job. But I will give him a shot at it due to this is a young team.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Fire Stotts!
Hire Thibs!!




(After the season, though. And only after gauging whether Thibs is a draw or a repellent to any prospective FAs.)

Or Joakim Noah. In fact, yes, Joakim Noah, please.

Cliff Alexander?

This 4th quarter could be a blessing in disguise.

If so, best disguise I've ever seen.

Teams seems to be clamping down on Lillard in the 4th. We just couldn't find points last night when we really needed them.

 

[riverman]

That was an incredible come back win for Detroit..they are a good team

I listened to Wheels during the broadcast... was CJ out there? Could it have been possible to run dame off screens or something? I mean, we have two legit scorers... we should be utilizing and deploying different looks for the defense with two players who can get their own shots.

 

[riverman]

It's definitely a chemistry process with the new roster...they just overthink and hesitate more than they should..when they let that go, they play some great ball..the key is patience this season

Stotts just kept running the same pick and roll, which the Pistons had effectively shut down.

Credit the Pistons...the way they played in that 4th qtr they would have shut any team down. Seriously maybe the best qtr of Piston basketball I've seen in over a decade

 

[KingSpeed]

This is one of those teams, were you may as well skip the first 3 quarters, because apparantly no lead means shit with these guys.

We kept our lead in the 4 games we won

Definitely. Give credit to Pistons.

 

[Natebishop3]

Definitely. Give credit to Pistons.

I tried to tell you Eric

NOT an easy win.

 

[blue9]

... but one game does not a coach make.

But it's not just one game.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Cliff Alexander?

Let's wait and see if he can play first. The best rookies in the world are shaky on defense.

Talk about damning with faint praise

I give Detroit credit for not quitting when they got down by 18. However, this was a game we literally gave away. The unforced turnovers completely turned the tide and Portland panicked.

When the Trail Blazers get in trouble, they turn it over and those turnovers lead to points for the opposition. That's how the Clips stunned us in the preseason and how the Pistons walked away victorious last night. Now, if we hang onto the ball, run a good set, and get a bucket here or there to stop the bleeding, I think we're looking at a different outcome last night.
