    Alpi is not a number one option. He’s not good enough to run the offense through him all the time

    We're also being very outplayed.

    I'm surprised we're not down 20. Very lucky that they've cooled just a little to start the 2nd.

    Cam has more assists in the past 5 games than the rest of the season combined I believe

    Some kinda switch flipped, I hope?

    10-0 run brings it back to only down 5

    Except Sengun. Head is still up his own ass.

    Detroit are where we were at last season, they blow leads and don't yet know how to consistently win games, I think we'll be fine.

    He isnt consistent enough yet. I still think the bad finishing is a seasonal anomaly. He has been a good finisher until now but he is inconsistent is effort and mentality. He is just not bringing it right now

    Right now, most of the 50/50 plays have gone the Pistons way, and they've made some shots that seemed to have a small chance of going in. We keep this close, by the 2nd half that'll swing our way.

    All that young talent they collected is finally starting to gel under Rockets Legend JB Bickerstaff, but they're still figuring out how to put together a whole game the way the Rockets (mostly, today aside) have.

    he definitely improved on that aspect.

    so far the next thing he needs to work on is moving without the ball. and i'm not talking about cutting to the basket. he's good at that. i'm talking on the perimeter.

    there was one possession where amen had to tell him to move to an open 3 because the defender fell asleep guarding cam. although cam missed the open 3 tho.

    Can’t have Holiday checking Stewart.

    I will never understand any lineup with Fred and Holiday sharing the backcourt.

    Bring back Jalen.
