GAME 60 - PISTONS @ Magic - 6pm ET

[zeebneeb]

So instead of Grimes, moron went with Fournier.

Weaver, you HAVE TO CUT HIM. Stop Monty from being stupid.

To be fair, Grimes’ shot selection has been generally horrible. He needs some coaching. Guess we’re screwed then.

Grimes is also out, still nursing that knee injury.

Late scratch apparently.

No Wiseman so far is good news. Still didn't stagger correctly, but hey, baby steps with the idiot. Baby steps.

[vege]

Finally no Wiseman and no Flynn. There's still a lot of time for Monty to do something dumb.

Is Grimes injured again?

[guldakot]

wheres grimes he should be gettin minutes instead of troy brown.

Grimes was a late game scratch with his knee.

[vege]

No complains so far about Monty. He's playing Stew and Ivey with the 2nd unit and only played 9 guys. I would love to see 8 and no TBJr anymore.

[guldakot]

Ok wtf is going on, rotations make sense and monty is challenging a call? WHAT IS THIS.

[tmorgan]

Getting worked by Fultz is annoying.

[vege]

Monty even won a challenge. Is that the first of the season?

[tmorgan]

Duren’s gonna be so good in a couple of years.

[Fennis Dembo]

Ivey just tackled from behind by Ingles. Never seen a team so disrespected by the officials.

[vege]

Fontecchio's defense is embarrassing.

[NYPiston]

The magic have a nice team, and are just a touch ahead of the Pistons in terms of trajectory.

They still, desperately need an actual PG to run their offense, but they can fix that next year.

Also, I love both Wagners, and firmly believe Franz is that franchises key player, not Banchero.

A touch? They're miles ahead of the Pistons in terms of trajectory.

We only have twice as many losses as them this eason

Remember when nobody thought Stew would ever be able to shoot 38% from 3??

People gotta stop doubting this dude. He'll look better as our star players mature. He's really an ideal 4th/5th option who was expected to do too much because of how young/bad the team was. That contract is going to look better and better each year.

I've been on and off the bandwagon, but right now I'm off, waiting for a different wagon.

He just doesn't pose enough of a threat from distance to make up for his deficiencies on offense.

I hope he proves me wrong, but I am not hopeful.

I remember when nobody thought he would ever be enough of a threat from the perimeter to force defenders to actually cover him. I remember when there was a basically even chance that when he got his hands on the basketball in the paint and put it on the floor that he would turn it over.

It's easier for me to recall these things because they are in my short-term memory. And the reason they are in my short-term memory is because they are still happening.

Yeah, they're like 25 games ahead in the standings. That's not a "touch", that's a stomping.

[NYPiston]

Duren is dumb as rocks. Definite Drummond vibes from him at times.

Watching this game is sad, it just illustrates the wide gulf between teams that were in the same position just recently and shows how much better their top players are as well.

[zeebneeb]

12 fouls on the Pistons, 6 on the Magic.

Perhaps a ref needs a good smack in the mouth. Really getting tired of this horse crap. Its constant against the Pistons.

Not saying the Pistons don't foul above average, but every team doesn't foul the Pistons?

[Fennis Dembo]

Cade is awful on defense. Terrible habit of ballwatching.

[tmorgan]

Duren is dumb as rocks. Definite Drummond vibes from him at times.

No, he is not. Stewart got held on that pass and there was no call. And the foul he got afterwards on Paolo (who beat Stew off the dribble) was a hustle foul that prevented a bucket.

I want to believe what I see from Duren is a lack of focus at times and a lack of instruction at others. I don't see him make actively stupid choices on the court on the regular like Drummond; so at least to me they aren't in the same category.

Carter and Fulz

10/10 27 pts.

I’m surprised we aren’t down 20
