Nobody could make a shot in 4th.

Stewart and Duren were terrible defensively in second half

Ivey was drafted before him and apparently he killed the workout with the Pistons

Fontechio was terrible tonight. He gotta score of the bench

 

[Dem313wayz]

Fun game. Team is more exciting. Just couldn't buy a shot.

Momentum changed when Hollins got the tech being on the floor and that charge on the review. That was a block imo.

We also looked a lil tired in the 4th. Indy plays at a fast pace

 

[NormanConnors]

Not having to attempt to do it all and when pacers was all over him in the first half, he got some teammates that can score.

I may have been too generous with 10, top 15 is more suitable.

And 20 assist as a team isn't going to cut it

Why was Cade seemingly going hero ball a lot in this game?

 

[djthegreat88]

Pistons have brutal schedule to start
Cavs, celtics, Heat, 76ers, Knicks

Defense in the first half was excellent. Once they let Turner burn them over and over again in pick and pops they started posting me off. But overall I like what I saw. Holland posts with energy, but not much else right now. Hopefully Ausar gets cleared earlier in the season to return. He brings a similar skillset with better defense, higher iq, and more athleticism. I'm interested to see if Ivey shooting has really improved like I looked in preseason. And I also want them to get a real backup pg that can be able to steady the offense and set guys up at times.

Man I still think we'll be better but that loss reminded me of so many games from last season

They definitely could use a veteran backup pg. and Ivey cannot be letting the likes of tj McConnell cook him.

I'm watching the highlights, and Duren had to be playing some of the dumbest defense imaginable on Turner. He was leaving a well established shooter to double over and over again. I hope this was him being dumb and not Bickerstaff defensive philosophy. He did that shyt over and over and over again. I'm telling at tv like "Hey, that nikka can shoot! Stop leaving him!"

Him being dumb. That’s why he was benched for a long stretch in the 2nd half.
