Hard to believe he was in the conversation with Cade and Mobley to go #1.

 

[Betrayer]

Could use a win in this one after a rough week of losses.

Also, I'm starting to figure out who Holland reminds me of - Josh Jackson. From his lack of shooting (but still not afraid to hoist them) to his feisty attitude. Josh was still that same player in year 4...hopefully Holland won't be.

What a sad comp.  Accurate, but very sad.

Beasley (+1), Stewart (+3.4), and Fontecchio (+1.2) are still the only Pistons who have a positive on rating.

Sasswer (+8.5) does too but he just started getting minutes. 

[Deleterious]

Cade has been moved up to doubtful.  Will see what the 5PM injury report says.

Way too early to say what he is. I think Holland is a better defender already than Josh ever was but, yeah, you could see some similarities you just have to hope that Holland grows his game unlike Jackson who never did.

On another note, is Ausar playing? With the defense crumbling as of late they sure could use him in the lineup.

[Deleterious]

Every season Pistons fans have to have something to overvalue.  Ron Hollands defense seems to be the pick this year.

[NYLion]

It's not necessarily about Holland's defense, it's about how poor Jackson's was.

[Deleterious]

The worst part about Holland and the dumb idea to draft him.  The ROY list is dominated by guys picked after him.  ESPN Insiders just picked their early season award winners.  The first 5 guys picked for ROY were drafted after Holland.  

[Deleterious]

It should of happened last year.

Like Betrayer said a few days ago.  Put Thompson at the dunker spot and let Stewart play outside on offense.

Back to being listed as out.

[Deleterious]

So Duren is capable of playing defense.  

[Deleterious]

Possibly the best game defensive game Duren has played as a pro.  

[Deleterious]

Thompson hits the corner 3.  Next time down gets Duren a lob.  He looks rusty obviously, but nice to see him back.

[Deleterious]

Who is the cowboy on the Raptors bench?  Is that Bruce Brown lol

1-6 from the field and a -10.  yup, that's the ausar i know.  lol.

[Deleterious]

See, Thompson looked lost there.  Like he thought they were switching the screen but they weren't and he left his man wide open to hit the three.

[Deleterious]

Pistons down 8 at the end of the third to a team that is missing:

Grady ****

Immanuel Quickley

Kelly Olynyk

Bruce Brown

So two starters and their 6th/7th man.  And we're still behind.

[Deleterious]

The 84 people at LCA are mad at that call.  

[Deleterious]

JB gets the T.

[Deleterious]

Ivey wins it at the buzzer!!!
