Detroit Pistons vs New York Knicks

[gehringer_2]

People in NYC are geometrically challenged, that building is clearly round.

[Betrayer]

After pre-season Casey talked about using different lineups depending upon the matchup. Let's see if he learned anything from the game against the Knicks. Starting Bojan and Stew against Randle and Mitchell is a train wreck.

Duren needs to be in the starting lineup for this one to matchup with Mitchell. Then run Stew at PF to matchup with Randle. Push Bey or Bojan to the bench and let them come in alongside Noel at Center (he's not on the inured list and this is his former team, so he should get some minutes).

I actually have a desire to watch Pistons basketball again. I'm intrigued by this trio of Cunningham, Ivey and Duren.

a little more variety to see than Reggie Jackson/Andre Drummond P&Rs and Blake Griffin clear outs?

It's the first time since the Going to Work Pistons that I felt they had a core they can build a winning team around. I've also become more turned off by the new NBA as it seems there are more divas per capita than any other league, plus I liked the style of play from the mid 2000's instead of all these 3's. I liked watching a Ben Wallace vs Shaq matchup. It's taken time to get used to this new game.

Cade really struggles to finish at the rim. 

[Hart]

Cade will be the guy in the 4th quarter but Jaden Ivey feels a lot closer to the point guard of this team then Cade.  He has an aggressiveness about him early in the games that is much needed.  

[Hart]

I feel like there are very few players who misuse their talent more than Saddiq.  He passes up open threes all the time for dribble drives he is just not that good at.  

[TP_Fan]

I don’t understand why Killian is a thing GM a thing anymore.  He truly struggles.  

[TP_Fan]

4 straight missed FTs and bricks otherwise.  Bad shooting teams are going to go through droughts.  

[TP_Fan]

Pistons bench gets dominated by the Knicks bench.  Yuck. Down 10 after one.  Not a good quarter. 

[TP_Fan]

This bench is going to have trouble staying in games this season. Who is going to score?

That's what I am wondering.  It seems like Casey is willing to let this game get away from us also.  Could bring Ivey back to try and stop this run but not doing it.  

[Hart]

Diallo is mentally broke right now.  His free throw attempts look awful.  

[Hart]

Ivey with three bad plays in a row.  Turnover, leave Rose open for three, turnover.  

[TP_Fan]

This is ugly basketball. I think they are 0-8 from the FT line.  Knicks running them out of the building. 

[Hart]

Even knowing we are bad going into the season, it does not make this any easier to watch.  The Pistons have been bad for a long time now.  Cade's a second year player and the slow start is frustrating. 

[RandyMarsh]

Duren looking his age this game, been lost on defense and made some silly fouls. 

[Hart]

Are the Knicks going to score 70 this half?  

[Hart]

I think Ivey's defensive issues are more than effort and youth.  He really struggles to move laterally.  

[TP_Fan]

They aren’t playing any defense.  Cade can’t make a shot.

Well, that desire was short lived.

[1984Echoes]

Lack of size, lack of athleticism, lack of defense, lack of shooting = unwatchable.

[Hart]

Even with Bey and Bogdanovic being good shooters, it still feels like our starting lineup lacks shooting because Ivey and Cade are probably going to shoot a low percentage this year.
