buddha Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 hopefully he actually follows up on it. watching either of those guys try to play defense is painful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my biggest fears at the end of last year was that Wiseman would slow Duren's development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely forgot there was a game today. So did the defense. 46 given up in the 1st. Quarter. If anyone wants to do game threads this season, have at it. I did them last season. I think I might have done them the season before, too. I can do them again, but if someone else wants a crack at it, I’ll pass along the keys to the complimentary company car to you.

buddha Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 that "game" was....something. pistons starters got worked by the suns starters in all phases. they shot 85% from the field in the 1st quarter. the pistons did not. forget about the comeback, that was the pistons bench against the suns g-league reserves, with marvin and killian showing out against guys who will be playing in des moines next year. but since its our only real basketball to talk about, let's overreact! ausar cant shoot and it will be a problem. he can do everything else, though. and that will be fun to watch. beef stew built a house with all his bricks from 3. still undersized in the paint but still hustlin. solid role player material. speaking of roll...duren and cade are going to be good at it. marvin and killian loomed good at it too. wiseman still sucks. at everything. give me marvin over him any day, at least marvin can play a semblance of offense. wiseman just gets in the way. cade really needs to be consistent with his shooting. he looked in control on the dribble, finished well, but the shot just wasnt there outside of a small stretch against the suns bench. you have to start hitting those shots and you have to be the MAN or else this rebuild is doomed. ivey looked like ivey. made some outside shots. just watching the suns bury three after three while the pistons bricked shot after shot was disheartening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ausar did hit the biggest shot that he took in the game. I think 1 preseason game is too early to determine that he can't shoot. Even if he never becomes a plus 3 point shooter which is quite possible, he does a lot of other things that help the team.

Betrayer Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Honestly don't care if Ivey is a starter or 6th man. Maybe the bench needs a sparkplug who can come out firing and if the defense doesn't improve, maybe that's a good spot for him. Either way, if he keeps playing this well on offense he's going to get the minutes and probably the 4th quarter finishing minutes as well which is what really matters.

1984Echoes Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 I don't mind adding some "hunger" to this team... As in... Better be HUNGRY if you want to earn MINUTES on the court. At any position... starter or backup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I don’t assume he’s a starter to begin the season. In fact, it might be more about matching up with the opposition. Cunningham and Duren are starting. Stewart is likely at opening 4. I do think Ivey is probably pencilled into there as well, but it might depend upon who gets the 3. Hopefully there are plenty enough games where the 4th quarter matters. By that point, it doesn’t matter who started. Who is playing well that game? I like those 5 guys on the court then.
