Our true competition. Sorry KC, but it's Piston's time.

 

[biggunsbob]

Go Pistons !

 

[biggunsbob]

Slow start by Detroit.

 

[biggunsbob]

Thompson is just a liability on offense.

 

[biggunsbob]

Brown is pushing off just about every play.

 

[biggunsbob]

More crap officiating against Detroit.

 

[biggunsbob]

Pistons trail 29-26 after one.

 

[biggunsbob]

Pistons have made only 1 three pointer so far.. we are awful shooting.
Clank,clank,clank from three.

1-12 from three.
Green Hits 2nd three hopefully that opens the lid up for Detroit.

 

[biggunsbob]

Pistons have made 4 threes now.

 

[biggunsbob]

Pistons lead 59-51 at half.

 

[biggunsbob]

Boston makes threes . Pistons don't. Halftime lead gone. Why are we passing up a easy 2 for a open 3 we make only 25% of the time.

 

[biggunsbob]

Celtics 12 threes
Pistons 6 threes
3rd almost over

 

[biggunsbob]

Celtics have a great 3rd. Pistons lead by 2 heading to 4th.

 

[biggunsbob]

Super frustrated with Cade last 2 possessions. May cost us the game

A win against Boston is always nice. Btw, Ausar doesn't start because of his offense. Though as bad as he is at 3-point shooting it actually has improved each year. You hope in a couple years it'd be decent.

 

[biggunsbob]

Im not sure what we should do. Thompson is so great on defense but he is such a liability on offense. Cade had a double double but he was a woeful 4/17 shooting including 0/4 from three. He did have one more assist than Boston did 14/13. We need find some three point shooting at the deadline. I am unsure what to do. I love this teams defense.

Cade has a wrist injury. But dang, those 14-0 assist TO ratio is great. With Ausar, it's a conundrum. Play someone else who's offense might be better but lose on defense?
