    Great game! Both Game 1's have been excellent, though I wish Indy could've pulled theirs out as well.

    More reason to just give Cade the extension now.

    Overpaying Monk feels a lot like a Ben Gordon move. Which means Scott Perry is your guy for anyone who wants that to happen. Let's not forget that Hammond left the year before and then Perry became Joe's right hand man and VP of Basketball Ops. HIs first offseason in that role was the Gordon + Charlie V signing.

    Painful ending to that Pacers/Celtics game. Indy had it wrapped up and then two completely boneheaded turnovers destroyed them. Carlisle also doesn't like to foul when he's up by 3, so they gave Boston a chance and Brown hit a prayer in the corner. You just knew it was over for Indy when they went to OT. They had their chance and lost it.

    From the start of that series I felt the team that came out would be the NBA champs. Dallas gets 1 game, maybe 2. Now that Connelly is off the table can we get on with this PoBo thing?

    Pacers move on. On one end they shoot an insane percentage and on the other they pick up full court on defense. The way they move the ball and play for each other is fun to watch. I'd love to have a coach like Carlisle (again).

    If it can speed up the end of games in the NBA, I'd be for it. But why would the NBA do it? There's less ad venue if you have less commercial timeouts.

    Wizards, sure. Hawks aren't taking him over Sarr. Rockets have Sengun and need a PG, so I don't see that happening.

    He'd love that. 15 assist night incoming. Did anyone see Draymond's comments on TNT after the game? Sure, everyone is talking about how Jokic used Gobert, but Draymond took it to cheap shot levels. To be expected from Dray I guess since he loves cheap shots in every form.

    These days it just seems like every "report" is linked back to some other article (referred to as a "source") where someone else is just speculating on possibilities.

    That's funny, because I'd rather trade Garland. Neither can play defense, but at least Mitchell can put the team on his back for a win or two. I guess nobody would want Garland's contract and that makes Mitchell easier to move with just one year (and a player option) left on his deal.

    Game. Set. Match.

    Joker is ridiculous right now (3rd quarter). Making Gobert eat that DPOY.
  14. Betrayer
    I'd be ok with moving down and taking him.
  15. Betrayer
    Not as your primary PG, but he can be the secondary handler and also be the lead guard when your main guy goes to the bench. At least, that's what I'm hearing/reading from the scouting reports. Of course, he'd have to guard the other team's PG on the other end due to his (lack of) size.

    This entire lottery is filled with dudes who could be busts. Who knows.

    Giddy has been pretty bad in the playoffs. I was never a huge fan of him to start with though. Kinda felt like a slightly better version of Killian.

    As Del said, his shooting percentage on high volume is nuts. A lot of those were taken from NBA range and he does it off the dribble, catch and shoot, and movement. He shot 60% at the rim even at his height and 50% on pull up 2s as well. The dude had a 70% TS! That’s nuts also. Also a solid passer and pick and roll player. All the tools to play next to Cade as a secondary scorer and creator and then run the offense against bench units when Cade rests. Probably not the primary guy, but good enough to run the second unit. His defensive instincts are pretty awesome as well. It’s not just the steals, he also averaged nearly a block a game. Really good hands on defense and nose for the ball. He’s going to get exploited on switches for sure though due to his size. Maybe comp him to TJ McConnell (short, pesky defender with all around skills) with Klay’s shooting game if he reaches his ceiling. Unfortunately, I doubt he makes it past Houston who needs this exact player.

    Givoni reporting that Topic is ok. Just a sprained knee. That could be good for the Pistons of a team SAN wants him ahead of our pick.
  20. Betrayer
    Carter just set a combine record with the fastest 3/4 court time and measured a 42” vert. He could wind up in the top 10.
  21. Betrayer
    Bad for him. Also bad for us. Many mocks had him going to SAN. With him off the board that basically means we now have the #6 pick. In other news, Reed Sheppard just logged the largest Max Vertical (42”) in the combine. Even if he alligator-armed it to get a few extra inches, it’s still pretty impressive. I sneaky wanted him if we didn’t land Sarr, but it’s looking more and more like he won’t last to #5. Most likely Houston will get yet another player I wanted.
  22. Betrayer
    Why does this matter? The game clock isn't running anyway. Are they just saying he uses that time to catch his breath or something?
  23. Betrayer
    I don't recall this, but it sounds like something I would say 😄 After all, I'm the one who wanted Ivey even if we got the #2 pick because of the tantalizing upside of guys with athleticism. Now, I have his name in the trade machine more than any other Piston player. The Lesson: The draft is a crap shoot. You can get Wiseman at #2 and Giannis at #15. The only thing I can say for certain is that the Pistons haven't developed a pick since Tayshaun Prince. Time to look for a new player development team while you're out there looking for a new PoBo, GM, Head Coach, and scouting team.

    Crazy series, but a lot of fun. Everyone thought Denver was cooked - some were even calling it a sweep - when the Wolves went up 2-0. Indy crushing NY today was interesting as well.
  25. Betrayer
    Missing out on Sarr sucks, but after #1 it's all kind of the same. We're essentially paying #5 pick money for a #2 pick. Same tier of player and mocks have all of these players going at various spots. There is no consensus. You also have to look at who's in front of us. We could very well be looking at both Risacher and Matas both being available. 2 guys that you could argue we'd have been looking at if we were at #2-#4 as well. I'm also going to give some serious consideration to Shepperd if he's there. Those shooting and defensive numbers are no joke. The guy's a 55/52/83 shooter with 3.5 stocks per game, which is absolutely nuts. He's also a good secondary playmaker. Yea, he's short and that's going to cause some matchup problem, but I'll take TJ McConnell with JJ Reddick's shooting any day.
