Game Thread GAME# 7: PISTONS @ BLAZERS - NOVEMBER 8, 2015 - SUNDAY, 6:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

You sir, kindly don't know a compliment when you see it.

 

Steve Javie, meet Mike Rice.

 

Yes, Sly. Let's support someone trolling someone who was brought up out of nowhere. Great forum leadership

 

He gets prickly when people say refs are contemptable assholes with no brains or honor. You didn't say that, but it does piss him off when you call refs completely corrupt powermongers who act like gun-happy cops with the whistle because they can't play the game. You also didn't say that, but it definitely pisses him off.

 

Great play for 3 quarters. They closed out on our shooters in the final quarter. Hopefully Stotts can counter that

They've played way better than any rational person would have guessed.

 

Don't you guys troll eachother? i don't see how Sly wins in this?

 

The difference is I did play. And I played CC ball too. I was a player and a Coach before I was a ref. I referee with integrity. That said, I can't stand most NBA referees.

 

Compliment or not, it was an uninformed comment. Referees get paid an obscene amount of money. Until the recent collective bargaining agreement for referees NBA referees started at 110K a year (now it's 90K). That punk ass Tim Donaghy was making 260K year. My plan is to become a D1 official. Most division 1 officials make around 70K starting.

 

That's great. The guys reffing tonight looked like donut-eating cops from the 70's.

 

I would have said Chicago cops from the 20s....but you're more charitable than me.

 

HAHAHAHA I know! If Jackson hadn't gone off, I would've won. It was a double whammy.

 

I beat haak!

Disappointing display from Dame in the fourth this game.
He was sloppy with the ball, forced things yet again - but most disturbingly - he hung his head and just let the opposing guards blow by him.
WTF?
That's not the first time I've seen him give up a game early this season either. Not good & a poor example to our youngsters.

Loss is on Stotts too. Both our guards were gassed in the fourth. Stotts needs to manage them better, minutes wise, to keep them fresh and effective.
He also kept Crabbe on the bench when he was red-hot.

P.S. Dear CJ . . Pass the fucking ball!!

 

He was traded to Brooklyn.

 

While learning experience an ML your are just soft.yea you can shoot a little bit but the rest of your game is soft. 2 rebound in the whole game. Again Stotts doesn't make any adjustment on defense.

 

After thinking it over, seem to be three problems last night. 1. the turnovers of course; they are trying to play at a very fast pace so I guess this is expected. I don't think they should slow down; they should just work through it even if it means some extra losses. 2. terrible free throw shooting by a couple guys. I'm guessing they have been working on this with coaching and practice and maybe even the team psychologist; but since it is really mostly mental, they may be making the problem worse. This is very difficult to fix. 3. This is a trademark of Stotts. Not recognizing when a player on the other team starts getting really hot and then not doing anything about it. In the past he has occasionally put a Batum on the hot player, but now we don't seem to have a guy like that; presumably Aminu and Harkless are too big. (Could Montero be trained to take on this role, or could Frazier do it?) So it seems double teaming or some other strategy needs to be utilized.

 

I don't know; to me the offense seems to stagnate if CJ starts thinking about being a PG. The guy is a great scorer; I just want to let him score. If he gets in a jam, pass.

 

Another issue that was glaring was the lack of a post scorer who you could throw the ball down to and cut off.

Last night was the first time we missed Aldridge this season.
