PISTONS @ BLAZERS GAME THREAD - 03.16.2013, 7:00 PM

Will Bynum is a ruthlessly physical defender. Lillard gets bullied by big burly PGs.

 

[KingSpeed]

Best game by Nic in awhile. Great night be Aldridge.

Will Bynum is a ruthlessly physical defender. Lillard gets bullied by big burly PGs.

Last time we played them Lillard was predominantly guarded by Brandon Knight though. So it seems DET in general has his number (just shooting-wise).

 

[KingSpeed]

Duo of Hickson and Aldridge lead league in double doubles

Just got in. What happened to Dame?

Detroit does seem to know what defense is in general.

 

[KingSpeed]

Nothing. He's doing fine. We win.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Defenseby the opponent.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

TRADE LILLARD! :MARIS61:

 

[KingSpeed]

Great win

31-34

Oh fuck, Utah beat Memphis?

Just got in. What happened to Dame?

Had a rare rookie night in his so far sterling season. Still 14 pts, 7 ast, I'll take it.

Rare rookie night? Are there any rookies in the league or in the last 5 years who have averaged 14 & 7???

Exactly!

I'm clearly talking about him, and his 3/12 shooting night. It was a poor performance for his standards. He's probably tired as heck from playing 65 games.

Just John Wall.

Don't know but Derrick Rose was very close. 16.8 pts/game, 6.3 asts/game.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Just another day at the office for LaMarcus.

 

[KingSpeed]

My point is 14 & 7 is a great night for a PG. Not a "rookie night" unless you can find me a rookie point guard who has averaged that recently.

He was HOUNDED by Bynum, but made hay when Will wasn't in the game. Will Bynum had one job to do, which was shut Lillard the fuck down, and that was the best he could do.

 

[Natebishop3]

Just got in. What happened to Dame?

Just an unusually bad shooting night. If he'd hit a couple more jumpers, he'd have gone for 20 again.

 

[KingSpeed]

Just John Wall.

So he was slightly below average for a #1 pick. Not a "rare rookie night."

Watch Lils blowup in Philly.

Actually Will Bynum was incredible on O as well. So if he had one job to do then he was overachieving for a night.

 

[magnifier661]

He's just as good as 22 year old. The stats don't lie.

Aldridge outplayed Monroe at 22 too. Did you ignore the reference?

 

[KingSpeed]

None of this matters though. All that ever matters is that we win the game.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Totally agreed; it was an odd choice of words.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

I'd say he was, yeah. He was all sorts of tenacious.

If we happen to need a backup PG (for some reason Maynor doesn't come back) then you could do a lot worse then Will Bynum.

I would love a Will Bynum type of player: great one-on-one defense, good offensive output, fast as hell. Looks like he could bench press a bus full of nuns, too.

 

[RoyToy]

Aldridge haters and Monroe supporters sure look silly tonight
