    Problem with Billups is when things are going solid he is an average coach ( at best ) but when the team needs him to come up with something to stop the bleeding most of the time he seems kind of clueless on what to do.

    It's one step forward two steps back for Scoot.

    Who's got a brighter future, the Pistons or the Magic? They're both on the upswing. I think the Pistons have a higher possible ceiling but the Magic have a higher floor and would probably win a playoff series right now between the two.

    Raptors currently having a lot more success against Dame's new team than they had against his old team

    I lean towards the Pistons because I think Cade is probably the best player between the two teams. I think the Magic are better right now though.

    I think they will find their legs in the second half. Billups is a god awful coach. Also, the Pistons are fucking STACKED with young talent, DAMN! I didn't realize they had Marvin Bagley Jr. and Ausar Thompson is a perfect fit for them. I also think their torrid 3pt shooting will cool off. I think we can win this actually.

    All I need from Scoot right now are glimpses of brilliance and we're getting those. The consistency will come with time. I don't mind him getting all the reps possible at PG even if it means he's going to make a ton of mistakes, he will learn.

    Unless Scoot has foul trouble I can't figure out why Skylar is getting any minutes. Scoot literally cannot get too many minutes at this point.

    No shooting without Ant. Blazers have no 3 pt threat. Scoot is disrespected at the 3 pt line : defenders dare him to shoot it seems. It would be nice if he was a 35 % shooter

    It's just the 1st half.
    Detroit might turn back into the Pistons 2nd half

    8 assists vs 10 turnovers...that ratio will lose about 99.7% of the time
