Jump out to a big early lead only to give it right back. Last year we would end up losing by 15. Hopefully this year is different.

We've got problems on fastbreaks, BIG problem on the third quarter. That's really bothers me because great teams always have concerns about defensive replacement after a bad shot.

I would say that our backups were overmatched by the Piston starters when we started letting them eat into the 15 point lead.

Sessions didn't touch him.

If that was the case no big worries, but camp fodder isn't playing in this game right now. Legit rotation guys are and unless our starters can play 40+ minutes these guys will play important roles. I'll take this game over the last game every time, though.

Well we are definitely missing our depth at SF, and backup SG. Prince and Hamilton are hurting us.

What a bad pass by Sessions, not in a good tempo for Mbah A Moute. 2 on 1 during a fastbreak. Redd was wide open and in the launching of this possession.

Haha they just advertised Malik Allen as a new player as an incentive to become a season ticket holder

This lineup has nobody that can score.

What's going on with Bogut. He was scoring in the first quarter and nothing in the 3rd. Is it like last year where noone gave him the ball, or is he just not getting position?

LUKE23 · Post #190 » by **LUKE23** » Thu Oct 9, 2008 1:25 am

He's missed two that he should have made. But overall, he's not getting many looks.

The pistons are doing a good job of covering him. And if he does get the ball, they're collapsing early because we don't have any other offensive threats out there. The guards are looking to pass it in but the pistons are defending well.

Would have liked to see Skiles try and win this game. But I guess not.

I was thinking the same thing.

I'd give anything to see Max come out and start chucking.

I can't stand this no-offense line up.

LUKE23 · Post #196 » by **LUKE23** » Thu Oct 9, 2008 1:36 am

Sessions and Mbah a Moute a combined 1-20.

Allen is showing some nice touch from the outside. That can be very useful this season in a Joe Smith kind of way.

We might have the worst bench in the entire league.

Captain Erv · Post #199 » by **Captain Erv** » Thu Oct 9, 2008 1:38 am

If Allen can give us these "Joe Smith-type" games, our bench should be a little better than expected.

We've got Allen. Oh fu** that's a wrong one. Fire Hammond^^
