I love it. A better defending, more athletic, higher iq version of Holland can certainly help this team.

Only Cade and Stew showed up

Holland a liability right now. They playing 4 on 5 on offense. Houston isn’t guarding him at all. And Holland aint scared to throw up some bricks. When Ausar gets back he needs to go to g-league
Holland do not care. He gonna shoot that rock :pachaha:

But he already did a year in the g league. That’s over for him.

I actually like that he don't play scared. It'll just be nice when his on court iq and skills catch up with his fearlessness. That nikka out there like Scrappy Doo right now :russ:
Exactly his fearlessness lead to his potential game winning bucket against Charlotte.. you don’t want a scared dude out there. Then you got a Jabumri Smith Jr problem on your hands. I’ll never understand how coming out of college the best thing you’re suppose to do is be a shooter, and it turns out to be your worst skill in the pro’s. It’s a confidence issue

Wait, he ain't a catch and shoot or shoot off the dribble guy anymore? That was his biggest strength coming out. I haven't really kept up with his development.

Nah he is. He just isn’t good at it and not consistent, Jabari shooting less than 20% on wide open threes this year.

Holland letting shyt fly is a good sign …It would be more worrying if he was out there looking timid .. dude revved up but I’ll live with that .

People shyt on Duren but Stewart just isn’t big enough to handle the glass and Sengun just little boy’d him through out that game . Physically he just can’t cut it more than an energy guy off the bench .


Pistons need a second ball handler/PG in the worst way …as soon as Ivey sat and Cade was out there with Beasley and THJR Houston blitzed /attempted to trap him on every pick and roll and there wasn’t an outlet to help in those situations ..Beasley and THJR are worthless in those situations..and when Ivey was the ballhandler without Cade ..we saw how dude consistently crashed the fukk out

Sengun is a better player and nobody is saying Stewart is the answer and the long term starter at center. But Duran is one of the worst defensive centers in the nba with no offensive game.

Maybe we win our first NBA cup game tonight?


Looking good early


Even though this court looks like it belongs to the Orlando magic. And it looks like the heat are playing the heat with these jerseys. Why are our courts and jersey always so ugly :camby:

Refs on bullshyt. Tim Hardaway got elbowed by Bam no call. Gets up to take the charge and gets called for a block. Takes a knee from Duren in the process.

Hardaway gonna be out for a while
