We are 23rd in 3pt attempts a game…we could definitely shoot more. We are 4th in fta per game though which is a huge jump from previous seasons. We do a good job getting to the line.
Our three point defense seems atrocious to me. Feels like every team shoots a high percentage against us.
We’re actually 8th in defensive 3pt %, so we’ve faired quite well in that department…probably just some outlier games throwing off your perception. Like Brunson making every single 3.
Wow. That really surprises me. Yeah, maybe it's been a recent development (falling off).

Ja Morant had a buzzer beater in his first game back

Wow. Jason Richardson can't have a kid that old yet. That would make me ... old as dirt. Shit.

Come on now… you’re still younger than most of us.

Just reminds you how fast kids grow up…. Enjoy that time with your little ones while you can. 😉

I feel like I'm aging at double-speed these days. I have three kids age 5 and under, and a 4th arriving in January. I really churned 'em out all in a row. They're amazing, but they require every moment I've got and then some. I hope I'm not screwing them up too much, hah. Hopefully I can just get the oldest one to the point that she can raise the rest of 'em. That's the plan.

Does Washington potentially beating Portland (up 13 at the half) make our win over the Wizards look slightly better or our loss to the Blazers even worse?
(Acknowledging the real correct answer is that they’re both terrible)

Pistons still haven't won in, like, ever Sucks seeing Monty in this spot, seems like he's lost the team but with his contract how do the Pistons move on? Do they tear down the roster, fire the GM? Fans are chanting "sell the team"....

I don't have any anomosity towards Monty, but I'm rooting for them to break the record and keep it going. I didn't like everything that Monty did, and thought that he was to blame for some of what happened last year and the playoffs the year prior. I'm not too worried about him, as he's the highest paid coach in the NBA iirc. So, if they decide to move on from him, he will be paid handsomely for the next so many years and not have to do anything for it.

Have they figured out yet why Monty isn't playing Ivey?

I haven't seen it yet, but has anyone figured out why Monty couldn't stop playing Shamet?

He is playing him…he missed 4 games early in the year, but he’s played every other game. He’s started the last two

No team wants to be the team to lose to the Pistons and break the streak. I hope we don't play them for a while.

Because he banged Monty's daughter.

So, as long as he was sleeping with Monty's daughter, he was going to continue getting playing time no matter if he deserved it or not?

I am unfamiliar and have no experience with this type of behavior.

Don't worry, In2, eventually you'll meet the right girl and get some experience! ;-) I keed, I keed.
