ClutchFans Game Thread: Pistons @ Rockets 3/6/2015

Agree. Fully holding the players accountable on this one to me.

 

Two very GIANT leaps here....neither a given. In fact, I''ll bet you are wrong on DMO.

 

Dmo is bad in this game.

But you know what? down the road when he will have some good games.

People will point out to the stats of this game :

Drummond : 4-16, 8 points.

And they will say Dmo is a very good defender and defended Drummond extremely well.

 

We've actually lost a lot of leads late in games, that's why our point differential sucks..also a sign of bad coaching.

 

Let me leave this for you. Players are held accountable. This was all on the players. They stop competing thinking Detroit was just going to let the game end in the last 4-5 minutes.

 

Dmo had nothing to do with Drummonds numbers

 

The problem is : when the game is tight, Mchale won't play Terry because he can't defend.

Our better defensive lineup will be Harden, Bev, Ariza, Dwight, and then either TJ/Dmo/Josh.

That's at least 2 dead spots on FT here.

 

Beard making risotto

 

Again, that is due to bad habits and not maintaining focus and discipline...you've probably never played sports before.

 

haha DMo was letting them and DET guards have their way inside. that's why TJones and Dorsey got a ton of minutes

 

From what I see, the whole flow of the game changed when Bev was in the game. Im not saying its bad but its just different. The team had to adjust to Bev's style and that is when Pistons took advantage and we lost the big lead. Bev seemed to speed up the plays while Harden and Brewer looked more in sync.

 

Yeah ok. You should probably not assume you know who you're talking to

 

Actually, I found this is rather sad.

before the last 5-6 minutes Harden checked out, Drummond was like 1-10 or 1-11, he made 3 shots in that time when Dmo came back.

 

I'll just use your approach and you're one of those guys that believes the coach is always to blame. Lol

 

We have agreement...this is what I saw. I said in the 4th when the run started to "step on Detroit's throat and put this game away". We did...and then you have a lazy group walk on the court and expect Detroit to just quit. Doesn't happen with real pros...something several of our players could learn from.

 

Bev-Prigs-KJ-DMo-Smith (? who was the last guy?)

New guys were cold off the bench. Bev didn't know he was supposed to run time off. Dmo sucked the whole game and cost us a number of possessions.

Who is the real DMo? He's playing like he did before his breakout period DMosanity. Is that guy not coming back anymore this season?

 

contrast to many thinking about me being a Dmo hater, I actually like his improvements.

but again, I just hate him to be glorified to be another Jeremy Lin.

he deserves better if a lot of people will lower their expectations and face the reality.

 

We've had this problem all year, in fact even going back to McHale's first year. Blowing teams out and stomping on ppl have rarely occurred this year. It's a pattern so it's up to a coach to curb that.

 

Brandon Knight is so good.

Too bad we won't have the money to come even close to sign him.

 

Terry with a heartbeat is a better defender than DMO.
