Pistons vs. Blazers Game Thread

Who is that ****? What a bitch.

I can't think of her name ... "Katie something" from one of the local news stations. She and Kenny Vance hosted the original MSP for about a month and then they canned her no talent ass.

When Rudy wants to be, he can be a great distributor. He has amazing vision. We saw it a number of times during his rookie season. I'm wonder what's changed between now and last year, but whatever it is, he's playing much better. Hopefully it lasts.

Honestly? I think it's playing with a point guard like Armon who drives looking to pass and wings like Batum and Matthews who will pass the ball and actually cut off of screens on the second unit. Not having a bum back probably helps a little bit too.

He's learning how to be brief with our small town media.

I liked when he said, "there is no percentage" when asked about how well he feels. He knows either way it was a, "damned if you do, damned if you don't," type question.

.....and holy shit, Jay Allen is looking more and more like Vance and Wheeler everyday!

 

[Nikolokolus]

Thank God we played a shitty team like Detroit. Nothing makes things look better than playing a crappy team. That being said, I loved the 27 fast break points.

Man, the Pistons might be the most selfish team in the league. Everything they did was about holding the ball and trying to go one-on-five and they just don't have the kind of talent to do that.

Katie Brown has ALWAYS been like that. She's the worst journalist in the area. Bar none. She has no business being in the locker room, and it has nothing to do with her being a woman. She's just terrible. She asks dumb questions. She gives women reporters a bad name.

I always referred her as seude face when describing her to people at the RG. Her face has more peach fuzz than my ass cheeks.

Can you be more quantitative? How much peach fuzz does your ass have, and how much does her face have? Please express your answer in hairs per square centimeter.

We know that Zags likes the cougars, but I don't think he risked getting close enough to make that kind of assessment.

Would you like a picture example?

No wide scale shots, but if you have one of each subject at a 1 cm resolution or better that would be useful. No dingleberry shots please.

Just watched the highlights on NBATV and Steve Smith just said, "offensively Batum is great, he just needs to work on his defense".

I take it Smith doesn't watch too many Blazer games.

It's funny--on paper the Pistons don't look like that bad of a team, talent-wise. Stuckey, Prince, Hamilton, Gordon, Villanueva, McGrady. Prince and Hamilton are still in their prime, and were once good enough to be starters on a championship team. Gordon is a nice high-percentage scoring guard. But it's basically the same team that won 27 games last year. Just a complete lack of any inside game.

Portland has beat everyone it should, but lost all the other ones.

You're being way too kind. That looks like absolute garbage, even on paper. Prince, Rip, and McGrady are barely shadows of their former selves. Villanueva was never as good as his occasional big game numbers indicated, and Stuckey and Gordon are just talented chuckers that are tough to fit into a team concept.

 

[mook]

Maybe. But 27 wins? That collection of talent seems like it ought to be worth 35-40 wins if it just fit together. The problem is that they all play midrange and out. And especially when Ben Wallace is out there if you just camp out on guys on the perimeter they really can't seem to do much.

Maybe Nate should coach the Pistons.... that looks like his ideal lineup.
