You think we're short-handed? Detroit has it even worse. Let's see if we can get back on the winning track. (And pull away from the losing pack.)

First one to 80 wins! Kidding...sort of.
I expect the quality of play to be pretty low on both sides though. Drummond is the type of center Ayton doesn't do well against. Loves to play physical and crash the glass. Hoping for the aggressive Ayton tonight rather than the ultra passive sleepy Ayton.
Let's see if Booker bounces back and Bridges can have another good game.
I'd also like to see some arch on Rubio''s shot. Latley shots been looking like Mike Trout hitting baseballs.

If there really is anyone on the Kevin Love train, this game is for you. Watch the contribution the Pistons are getting from Blake Griffin (who is younger than Love) and think about getting something similar from Love over the next 3 years with 50 million more dollars guaranteed.

I agree about Drummond being the type of center that gives Ayton problems and makes him passive to go to the basket.djy2j wrote: ↑Wed Feb 05, 2020 1:56 pmFirst one to 80 wins! Kidding...sort of.

I'm crossing my fingers that Booker will bounce back in front of family in Detroit. I think he will,
Rubio shoots a catapult type shot. I can't think of a single person that shoots that type of shot with little to no arc that is considered a good shooter.(please point one out if anyone can think of that person)

I was confused by that post. I wasn't sure if it was eluding to Love not producing because he will be hurt like Griffin or that he didn't realize Griffin is out for the year.Superbone wrote: ↑Wed Feb 05, 2020 2:52 pmIf he were playing which he isn't.O_Gardino wrote: ↑Wed Feb 05, 2020 2:29 pmIf there really is anyone on the Kevin Love train, this game is for you.

I got a nice chuckle out of that one. Kudos.

Pretty sure it was him implying that we’d be stuck with an injury prone, aging PF with an untradable contract. And very likely he’d be out hurt and providing nothing for us.djy2j wrote: ↑Wed Feb 05, 2020 2:54 pmI was confused by that post.

Well, int that case, Griffin being out for the year still applies as a contribution to watch!!!O_Gardino wrote: ↑Wed Feb 05, 2020 4:13 pmYep that's what I meant.Split T wrote: ↑Wed Feb 05, 2020 2:57 pmPretty sure it was him implying that we’d be stuck with an injury prone, aging PF with an untradable contract.

Ayton probably thinks he’s playing great because his numbers are good. But he’s making everything easy for Drummond.
Re: Game Day: Suns (20-30) @ Pistons (18-34), Wed 2/5/20
Suns are shooting 70% from the field and losing. That’s not easy to do.
Re: Game Day: Suns (20-30) @ Pistons (18-34), Wed 2/5/20
For example, here. DA left to guard 3 players after Kelly's gaffe.
Re: Game Day: Suns (20-30) @ Pistons (18-34), Wed 2/5/20
Last 4 PHX possessions, 3 Carter 3s, 1 Rubio 3. 3 total points. Not great offense.
Monty has to do a better job staggering Booker and Ayton. If he's worried about not having Ayton in to match Drummond, then sub Booker out earlier.

Mikal has to try and beat his man off the dribble. Never even tries.
