Betrayer Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 I like how Omari has been calling this team and org out a lot lately Jaden hit a lot of threes. Coach still ripped him after the game for his turnovers and shot selection. One of those two will be gone this offseason for sure. They can’t coexist. Jalen did another Drummond impression all game. All you had to see was that play at the 10 minute mark in the first quarter. Messy dribble drive into a bad contested shot that leads to a fast break by Memphis that Duren didn’t get back fast enough to contest. If that doesn’t say Dre, I don’t know what does. Of course he continued to do that stuff all game, so it didn’t end there. Malachi who? Along with the Sasser hype train, I think we can officially get back off the “Wiseman is improving” train as well. Honestly, without Cade both of the bigs are looking suspect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a market correction was expected for Flynn, but damn, the Great Depression was quite impressed by this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the coaching staff lack the ability to get these guys to develop and mesh? Is it more of both than one or the other? Absolutely dreadful.

But a stretch 5 probably means more interior defense responsibility for Duren, which he isn't up to, so back to square one. Find the stretch 5, hope Duren brings something back when you move him. Of course if the Pistons do move him, he'll be a .380 3pt shooter in 3 yrs.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
