lol...Noah couldn't hold Dwight lol. He fouled without it being called on him, grab and flopped. That's not guarding Dwight....same thing with Marc Gasol. If you have to flop to gain advantage; you're not actually guarding your man. You're praying for a bail out from the referees hoping they "even the odds" On that note...perkins and D Jordan do pretty good jobs.
There's no doubt that Dwight can play a physical game. For whatever reason the refs were 100% team Gasol and Noah. Dwight had to let them hang on him with two hands or it was an automatic foul.
Don't forget the T-Mac special. Now that Detroit has gone 7-0 without him, he can say that the Pistons are using him as an escapegoat.
Seems more like he's referring to learning our offense, such as it is, rather than trying to mimic D-Mo.
Did you guys hear Collins was saying basketball is supposed to be fun in the telecast yesterday. I thought that was directed to Smith. Smith has this weary look on his face all the time. Obviously he has been through a lot. We need to get him cheered up! Smith and Harden PnR to perfection. They should practice every day seven day a week. The plays I want to see r: 1) Harden PnR with Howard, 2) DMO/Smith high low to Howard, 3) Harde 4) DMO back to the basket 4) Harden PnR with Smith The plays I absolutely don't want to see 1) Ariza trying to create 2) Ariza/Bev takes 3 in transition 3 3) Smith takes jumper
Absolutely. The transition 3's are so bad. The only guy on this team I give to green light to do that is Terry.
I don't like any of the shots Ariza takes anymore. Bev takes his threes within the flow of the offense, but Trevor just jacks up too many triples. Just because you're open within the first few seconds of the shot clock doesn't mean you have to rifle up a high arching brick.

The threes we have been taking were absurd. I get shooters will shoot. But get closer to the basket if the threes are not falling, as Clyde always say that. We are hurting lately because Ariza and Bev are bricking so much. The CLE game, if it were any other elite team like CHI, we would have been punished mightily by bricking that many threes. For that matter, I don't like Harden yoyo and take the step back trey. That's the worst shot he should take. Our record is as good as our erratic threes. There.
Ariza played good last night. Maybe he was just going through a slump I think he will be ok. Also we have brewer if Ariza is sucking.
Truth is, if someone stuck a mic in my face right after a basketball game, i'd probably be saying some weird **** too... Most of the time I can't even type coherent thoughts on here and I have the opportunity to proof myself.
