Game thread: The allure of John Amaechi — Utah @ Detroit 3/7/20 5 pm

Solid 4 game road trip but this team still has some kinks to iron out. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of time left.

W is a W but Ingles has been getting on my nerves a lot lately. Gets into the game with 2 minutes left and immediately passes up an open 3 which leads to Bogey into traffic and TO.

Bogey still has those turnovers when he dribbles in the traffic but his effort level has risen considerably. He is always after rebounds and rotations. Even though he still struggles with those, it makes a difference.

TB was the bomb tonight.

I think we're alright, we just suck in back to backs. I'm more concerned about playoff matchups, mostly involving the Lakers which would be a second or third round affair I imagine.

 

[Zombie]

Am I wrong to worry about match-ups like the Lakers in the playoffs?

There isn't a team in the league that shouldn't worry about a matchup with the Lakers.

 

[Miggs]

Good effing day. We win. Rox and Denver lose to scrubs.

We’re one game back of the 3 seed.

Nuggets and Rockets lost tonight too

OMG, Cavs just knocked off the Nugs.

Good point, particularly the way both Lebron and AD made Giannis look on D last night.

This was a solid win. The Pistons are undermanned but they played hard, and it was the second night of a back-to-back at the end of a four game trip.

I wish we could find an upgrade for Niang's minutes. His shooting is nice, but he just doesn't do enough other things to be consistently reliable.

Denver and Houston have been playing like dogmeat lately.

Jeff Green had 20 for the Rockets tonight.

Would be nice if they could start losing some games.

Jeff Green had 20 for the Rockets tonight.

Wow, he was +28 in 29 minutes in a game the Rockets lost by 9. Crazy!

In a few years he could be our backup 5... if TB were to get a max contract offer.

After 3 dribbles he should always shoot... only bad things happen when he dribbles and passes.

Shows you how valuable +\- usually is.
