Deleterious

It's on the players to perform, and the starters did not do that tonight. But it's also on JB to push the right buttons and get guys on the floor that give you the best chance to win. He didn't do that tonight either. So fault goes both ways tonight.

Wheels are coming off the wagon now

Like I said, good challenge

Look, pay some high school kid $50 a game to sit behind the bench with an IPad and FanDuel so you stop challenging dumb stuff

Stop making stupid challenges

What BS they had already knocked the ball free

JB about to run out the guys that have sucked all game

Jump balls are a joke

Only thing is, Duren should play while KD rests. Play Stewart when KD returns.

Great start to the quarter. Cade, Stewart, and Holland making things happen

Yeah, Ron was undercut while in the air. That should be a flagrant

Ron went down hard

Shooting 17% from three

Detroit is fouling Houston, no complaints about that. But Detroit isn't getting the same whistle on the other end.

Shepherd starting to heat up

JB is so rigid with his rotations. Something to worry about in the playoffs when adjustments are so important.

It's not fair to ask Duren to guard KD.

Is Cade's wrist still bothering him?

Ugh Cade picked up his third at the end of the half.

So you're saying JB will play him 6 minutes in the second half.

I love Thompson when he takes that 12 footer.

Also, a lot more aggressive when he has the ball.

Probably four and I would do it in a heartbeat. Your core is locked in and the oldest player is 27? Yes please.

Ivey looking like Steph there

I would call Chicago and kick the tires on Ayo Dosunmu. He would be a bucket off of the bench and is shooting 45% from three. A below average defender but gives effort. Better coaching and scheme probably gets him to be an average defender. At least good enough where he would not be hunted in the playoffs. He would fit into their TPE so they could just offer draft picks for him. He is unrestricted this summer so all I would give up is this year's 1st and some second round picks. Actually, I would give up LeVert + this year's 1st. But I'm not sure Chicago wants anything to do with LeVert.
