Feels like if they could get him to just concentrate on being a hustle and energy guy whilst only taking the occasional 3, then he might start to get some level of consistency.

That’s exactly what they have him concentrating on. Their mistake is expecting concentration from him

Pistons shot 32% on their field goals, which is bad.
Suns shot 29% on their free throws, which is worse.

So, the biggest guy in the court picked up the dribble from the shortest one?

That is huge for us. Atlanta only has two games against tank teams left as opposed to three for us. So it is really nice for them to pick up a random win.

Triano is the tanking Da Vinci, puts Dudley in to slow down the team, then add Ulis to stop the offense, we lose ground and then start an impossible comeback for the fourth period.

Watching Chriss turn the ball over in the post while having Ish Smith guard him is the most Chriss thing ever.

Will this game just end already?

Man i have a hard time remembering anyone lazier on defense than Payton. I am ready to let him go. Can’t teach effort.
