Really tough break for him to get ejected for those two flagrant fouls.

I meant landing on the left foot on his drive into the paint:Split T wrote: ↑Sun Nov 05, 2023 12:39 pmIt was on a drive to the hoop, not landing.JeremyG wrote: ↑Sun Nov 05, 2023 12:14 pmProbably because he didn't want to land hard on the toe.Split T wrote: ↑Sun Nov 05, 2023 10:36 amI don’t think the toe turned into an ankle injury.

The foot was never an actual injury…it’s the same one as the ankle, they just got clarification on what was actually hurt when they got the MRI.
It’s possible he hurt the calf compensating for the ankle, but it’s also just as likely they were unrelated. He didn’t seem to be having any issues on the ankle in the game to me.
And didn’t seem limited, but it’s hard to know. The odds of having a brand new injury unrelated to the ankle Vogel even said was irritated for yesterdays game seems less likely.
It’s funny you guys wanted him to sit out with a stubbed toe

Nice job of outrebounding a younger, physical team.
On a side note, James Wiseman ... MIA ...

Ya I think he and Allen are 4 and 5…it is unfortunate we probably can’t play our best 5 together unless we want to go real small.Mori Chu wrote: ↑Sun Nov 05, 2023 1:53 pmI think Eric Gordon has emerged as our 4th best player. Do you agree / disagree? If it weren't him, you could make the case for Okogie, Allen, maybe Nurkic. But EG has been more consistent than those guys, IMO. His scoring and ability to generate offense has been really helpful.

Detroit is thin at guard, so it is not a big surprise Gordon and Allen looked great today.

Not weird at all. He got under Durant and Durant landed on his foot and twisted it. It was a letter of the law flagrant. This is the rule made due to one of your favorite Golden State Warriors a few years ago.

He set a record in Detroit today as the only player to score 40+ for four consecutive games in a row there.

Ah, we needed that today. Both the team and the fans.

I’m watching the Piston’s broadcast a little. The play by play guy’s name is, I kid you not, something like George Blabla. Reminds me of Arrested Development lawyer Bob Loblaw. And he’s as exciting as his name sounds.Superbone wrote: ↑Sun Nov 05, 2023 2:33 pmYeah, that guy is no fun.JJ Slim wrote: ↑Sun Nov 05, 2023 1:20 pmI was going to go to the game today but we have a big cutover today and I'm oncall starting in an hour. So I get to watch on TV instead. LP is blacked out so I get to listen on Bally. I hate the Detroit play caller. His voice is so annoying and I'm stuck between wanting to scream or getting put to sleep.

Believe it or not, it turns out he's been their play-by-play voice since 1976! He could break Al's record in a few years, if you count both radio and TV combined.

Ausar Thompson is really impressive.

Detroit has a nice young core. It really all depends on if Cade can pop and become an all-star type leader for them. Duren is what we imagined Ayton to be and Ausar looks promising.

I'm glad to see EG playing so well, though. I was worried age would catch up to him this season. Sure he has slowed down, but he can still get around his defender.

I'm worried these heavy minutes/usage early on will take its toll on EG. We talk about KD, but EG is a real luxury and I'd hate to see him fade because we're relying on him so much now. We'd be smart to pull back on him if/when we're full strength. Allen I'm obviously less worried about, but we can't afford to lose EG down the stretch.
