GT: Utah at Motorcity starting in 5 minutes

[Primetime]

Their core players (Smith, Monroe, Drummond, Jennings) act like they just met each other 5 minutes before tip off.

Yeah that team is just build wrong. You got yourself two young and really talented big men in Dre and Monroe and after quite a while you have some good money to spend in FA. And the thing you do is get an other PF and an inefficient PG. That's some nice stuff from their GM

Brandon Rush hasn't missed a shot in three games.

And im eatin crow...... another guy for burks to compete for minutes with when Hayward is back

 

[royzzz]

Just realized Alec has just one FGA....that ain't right

Any insights on why Burks just had 2 FG attempts?
Only 3 fouls and still 28 mins so good defense on him?

 

[Fabtrey]

since trey started this team is 13-13. is that a good thing?

Trey dominated the ball a lot tonight (it was a good thing) and alec just didn't have a lot of touches..... when he did get the ball, the play was almost always for him to pass into the post

Its not a horrible thing, but no its not a good thing either.

It means DL earned his pay last summer.

Just out of sync Bing in foul trouble, but he did have five assists and did some of things to help out the team. Just one of those games where he had fewer opportunities than others. I wouldn't necessarily say he had a bad game just not a spectacular one

 

[The Thriller]

I've seen golds gym pickup games with teams playing more chemistry and intensity than Detroit did tonight. What a collection of sucky lazy *** players. How is loser Jennings still in the league? Has he ever led a team to a winning record?

And what were they thinking when they passed up their Jimmer?

 

[NUMBERICA]

I know winning probably does the Jazz little to no favors long-term (net), but the Jazz are playing extremely good basketball right now and my Grinch heart is growing. If you can't get even a little excited then I truly pity you because I have been one joyless SOB leading up to all of this.

By the way, I would have lost my mind tonight if I was a Pistons fan. The sounds you heard weren't booing tonight, it was the sound of Joe Dumars job roasting on a spit.

Really at this point my only complaints are Marv and RJeff, but the young guys are getting good minutes and playing really well.

Hard to tank if we're just not bad enough. I'm curious to see if we can turn 6-8 + other assets into a top 3 or 4 pick.

That's the only thing still driving me nuts consistently. WHAT IS THE PAYOFF FOR THIS ORGANIZATION WITH THEM GOING OFF LIKE THIS???

Showing them off for a trade maybe?

Advanced Stats for this game:

- Gordon again with that DNP but the team looks goood!
- People were saying Trey can shoot but "how bout dem passing?" and the last games he is showing us that. Let's see he can score, he can pass and his new nickname is "Ice Trey" for a reason and he is a rookie? A litle disappointed with that TOV% but Ice Trey is killin it.
- Hate that Derrick has no AST but a reay hight REB%, no TOVs and all that with a good USG%? I take that. I loved the way how he came out of halftime and just dominated the boards. But just 22 MIN? Gimme some twin towers!
- wasn't Alecs best game but he was involved in the offense, had some ASTs but his TOV% with that low USG% isn't a good thing. I think he will kill it tonight tho. He should man handle Kevin Martin and the Wolves D
- His REB% a little low, but love the ASTs from the bigs. Nice USG% but the eFG% could be higher.
- Rudy finally with some MIN.

FYI Enes/Derrick played together for 3 MIN(not enough!) and the team had an OffRtg of 150.0 and a DefRtg of 110.8 (NeRtg: 39.2). The core didn't play together at all.

It's a great thing that Trey Burke had this type of impact. It means he really is our PG. Remember in the summer when it looked like he was going to be a bust?

It's bad for the tank though....

Did not see a lot of his minutes, but he had two nice passes in a row for easy buckets to start the second half.

No, I don't remember that. Cause I have a brain and understand that SL means ****.
