I usually don't care about these.  But we have a better overall record and a better record against winning teams than both SAS and NYK.

those ratings just remind me that the east is there for the taking, the lakers are forever overrated, and many of the pre-season favorites are struggling but will likely turn it around if they get healthy.

and there are some bad, bad, teams out there.

Cade playing sloppy on defense. 3 fouls early in the 2nd.

Fun game Pistons defense is leading to fast breaks

thought they started looking tired in the 2nd half, but they still had too much for the Kings

[Motor City Sonics]

Sacramento lead 12-11.   And then never had the lead again.    

 

As great as this team is, at 24-6 -- there is room for improvement.  They can get better with trade deadline add.    They can afford to offer a couple of their players and get better.    What a turnaround.   J.B. Bickerstaff is so underappreciated in Detroit.

Anthony Davis has played enough games to qualify for this graphic?

He has looked sluggish to me this week. I have some concern he may wear down by the end of the season. Adding a true consistent scorer would help

Wasn't there a one time one point lead by Portland the night before, too?  I might be wrong about that.

Regardless, nice start to the road trip.  I'll take 2-0 on a back-to-back out on the west coast anytime.

They'll be spending next Christmas on TV.

Interesting new stat

Player Gravity

Gravity quantifies how much a player pulls defenders towards them above expected, essentially measuring how much attention they draw compared to what the spacing on the floor predicts.

Robinson is our highest rated player, with Cade right behind him

Ausar is one of the worst in the league.  Only about 15-20 players lower than him.

all that stat says to me is that robinson is the one piston on the floor who can shoot.
