So Oscar is playing. 3rd game in 24 hours.

Has anyone ever seen this happen before?

Larry Bird once played a full game shooting left handed.

The Jazz should try this tonight.

DET's depth is so good, one of the main reason I did not think they were a big tank threat this season.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Jazz with 5 TOs in their last 6 possessions.

I think it's notable that Brice hasn't gotten any run yet even after he had a good game last night. I don't get the impression that Hardy is a big fan of his. Hasn't been a priority for him all year.

Would love to see Cody have Holland's motor, but I don't really think that can be taught.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Filipowski gotta get so much better defensively this off-season

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Well, this isn't pretty. It's a parade of fouls and turnovers.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Duren is embarrassing Filipowski

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Jazz w/ 11 TOs in just the 1st qtr.

Bickerstaff is a darn solid coach. Pistons may well surprise the EC during the Playoffs.

I mean he basically skewered him in the presser last night. Brice has a nonchalant attitude on defense that coaches loathe. Part of it is processing imo. Part of it is care factor. There were a couple plays last night that I was like "oh that's gonna come up in film". He's like Collin on defense but without the try hard moments. He still deserves PT tho.

Pistons are tough and athletic. A bunch of them can't shoot though. Duren + Ausar + Holland = no space

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Looks like Brice is getting pulled after just a 4-min. stint. Playing behind Springer in the rotation is kind of a slap. Will Hardy must be on Brice about his defense.

He needs to pick up the effort. He also needs to make it look like he's picking up the effort... add some fake hustle.

I'm not blaming Hardy for not being high on him....but as we know, there are some players who seem to have immunity from Hardy (or at least appear to at moments) and others who do not. It's okay for coaches to have preferences, just saying it's quite obvious that Brice is not one of them based on this season. Hardy isn't always hard on players who have a non-chalant attitude and is also the only coach I've heard openly admit to not prioritizing defense.

All of this can change, of course, but pretty obvious where Brice stands at the moment.

This is an ugly game
