See guys...

All it takes is a 41-11-12 and 4 steal game and this squad can squeak out a win!

Just do that every night and the season will be cream cheese!

Easy peasy

I missed the very beginning of the game but what i was saying about no one else being able to drive to the basket besides Dinwiddie and Wood. There is one other guy, Josh Green. He's the only wing player they've got that can. I've been saying for awhile i think he should start. Don't know if he started this one or not, probably not. He can shoot the 3, attack the basket (though wildly sometimes), and plays tough defense. Creates a lot of havoc on that end of the floor. They should be starting him.

And thats what it takes to get to .500.

Idk.. he had some teammates step up today. Esp once Dinwiddie went out. Maybe those guys can build off that momentum.

RogerGodahell · 11-29-2022, 10:34 PM

Looks like they credited him with another rebound, 41-12-12, 4 steals and a block. Yeah...just do that every game and they can win some games. Still hate them taking so many 3's, 49 a game.

I love Josh Green and am rooting for him hard because he is somewhat of a hometown hero. He’s come along in leaps and bounds. You’re totally right about him driving wildly. It’s like his legs are on autopilot and he is always surprised and panicked with where he ends up on the court. Somehow manages to find some good passes though, like his 360 dime today.

Yeah, that's a good point and it's definitely true. I believe some of the people who have a vested interest are seeing the writing on the wall and selling as well...therefore no longer able/willing to prop up certain cards.

tjforce · 12-01-2022, 07:30 PM

Yeah he's dropping 40 again tonight

dkcardman · 12-01-2022, 07:36 PM

These 2 teams are shooting insane in the 1st quarter.

KhalDrogo · 12-01-2022, 07:51 PM

Terrible defense so far. Only the Mavs would beat the Warriors and follow it up with a loss to the Pistons on the road.

dkcardman · 12-01-2022, 08:06 PM

Mavs are absolutely pathetic when it comes to rebounding. It has been an issue for them for 3 years now. Currently they are dead last in total rebounds, and 2nd to last in offensive rebounds. It's costing them a lot of wins.

Edit...currently getting outrebounded 28 to 13. It was 18 to 13 just a little while ago so detroit had 10 straight rebounds and dallad none in that span! Holy moly.

KhalDrogo · 12-01-2022, 08:34 PM

30 to 13 now. This team sucks. Just tear it down.

Onepocketj · 12-01-2022, 08:34 PM

This is rough

dkcardman · 12-01-2022, 08:35 PM

32 to 13 lol. Lol!!! Surely there is some stat record they are pushing at this point.

But this is why this is so important...they are 1 point ahead. Imagine if they could just break even on rebounds...

tjforce · 12-01-2022, 08:39 PM

The sudden resurgence of Tim Hardaway Jr is a plus

KhalDrogo · 12-01-2022, 08:39 PM

They don’t have anyone who is a rebounder. Luka being their top rebounder is by default, and a total joke.

dkcardman · 12-01-2022, 08:43 PM

Lets not overlook 11 for 21 free throw shooting. And still in the game. They suck at fundamentals guys
That is the issue.

And don't forget at playing defense.

This is the worst team in the NBA and they are pushing 100 through 3.

KhalDrogo · 12-01-2022, 08:48 PM

Might be two weeks before they get a win. Lot of tough matchups with good rebounding teams coming up.

KhalDrogo · 12-01-2022, 08:56 PM

Entire roster should be ashamed of themselves right now. Where’s the effort? They should be destroying this team. Detroit just cares more. That’s it.

KhalDrogo · 12-01-2022, 09:26 PM

Luka has been a ghost in the second half.

Terrible rebounding. Terrible defense. Terrible free throw shooting. I’m sure these bums will give up an easy game winner to Bogdanovic.

dkcardman · 12-01-2022, 09:28 PM

The free throw shooting...wow.

KhalDrogo · 12-01-2022, 09:44 PM

I’m done. Someone DM me when this team plays like they care. That was pathetic.

If not, then kick the tires on:
NAW
Killian Hayes
Kevin Porter Jr

If Fultz looks good when he comes back maybe Cole Anthony will be available. Heck, maybe Fultz will even be available. TRoss and Gary Harris are probably available for basically nothing.

Hire me, Cuban!

tjforce · 12-01-2022, 09:48 PM

Good lord.

There are games on the schedule you circle as easy wins.

This was one of them.
