Game Debrief: What Went Right And What Went Wrong?

I think a humble Dwight would actually be very useful to JJ on this squad as a backup.

 

Good win. Gonna need to get some kind of offense out of Max and Gabe. Those guys are trash.

 

rough night for both. Hope they continue to work and find their way in the offense. Not all pistons will all be firing at once, but at least the starters and 2 reserves showed out. We needed every bit of it.

 

Yeah but after their little dust up on the bench a couple of years ago. I don't think AD is feeling Dwight anymore as a teamate. He barely played more than 5 minutes a game after that.

 

this is looking good so far, but our roster is not deep enough to sustain this form

the FO should seriously be looking at making some moves and bringing in another contributor at least. I'd ditch Gabe Vincent immediately.

 

Weirdly, the hero of the game is the 4th Q unit of DLo, Knecht, Rui, LeBron, and Hayes, which went 21-0 in just 3:37.

he does a lot of little things that matter. I think we give him more time to round into shape. I see him being a useful bench player.

 

I didn't recall this. He probably pinched AD's butt or something and pissed him off. He's kind of a weirdo, but he's still decent in limited minutes.

 

JJ needs to be harsh on Dlo, he seems to lack focus in long patches of our games so far.

He ends up taking terrible shots or passes leading to TO.

Max also needs to calm down, I think he's feeling the pressure from Dalton, he tries to do too much when he subs in.

DK should be part of the first subs every game

 

Lakers beat Kings at home and now are 3-0

LBJ with a triple double

Check out the 3 point shooting

14-34 41%

Are we sure this is the Lakers shooting like this?



Is it the JJ effect?

 

we beat the kings AND derozan.

 

two tough ones coming up, at phx and then at cleveland. then two bad teams (det, tor), but on the road, which is always dangerous--especially out east for us since it's our only visit in those ones. finishing that trip at memphis.

i'd like to at least get 3 of those 5.

 

This team is just enjoyable. Sac really gave us a hard time, their ball and man pressure was crazy, even more tiring in the end of a b2b.
To be able to pull this win really says something about our team and coaching staff. We're really in honeymoon territory with this team. Let's appreciate and see how we handle things when things stop working.

That Bron show in the 4th quarter is one for the history. I was so hyped watching it, standing up in awe. Then AD picks up after that. Just how it's supposed to be, your stars taking over a tight game.

 

The team shot 37.7% from three last year which was good for 8th in the league. Attempted only 31.4 which was third last however.
