FVV was supposed to be “in addition to” KD, not because of.

Time to go!!
Ime going fukk this up. I can count on my one hand how many times KD received the ball inside the perimter. He has to work so hard for his possesions. By the 4th quarter he was out of it. He wasn’t trying to fight through Dortz for his iso. He wasn’t standing damn near closer to halfcourt than the the perimeter in The second half.
And then some had the nerve to play him 40 minutes. He needs to be on that Tim Duncan minutes at the end fk hai career in SA. He’s not going to survive the season or be the player Ime wants him to be playing like this. And this pg committee shyt is for the birds. And why are we playing Odogie over Holiday. Dude bricked every open three. He had and it was a couple. his defense ain’t that good

It was the season opener on ring night against his former team that got a chip without him. Ime was going to give him a lot of minutes for this game specifically because everyone in the building knows KD had to feel some kind of way about it.
That’s said, I agree, we need to Verlander his ass and bench him till April

Kd ain’t one of those. didn’t none about his performance last night said he had smoke for the Thunder. He might be sensitive but he ain’t got that cerebral spiteful mentality like Michael or Kobe. He’s a great scorer. He does his job. All Im saying is let’s allow him to do his job more sufficientlyRockets’ floor is really high with the defense+rebounding they have. Their core young players(Amen/Sengun/Jabari) seem to have all made strides from what I’ve seen.
Not the greatest matchup for Durant especially with a new team so early in the season, but if Eason/Sheppard can be better off the bench I like their chances.
DFS probably the 5th starter once he’s healthy.

Hopefully this is a rebound game for Tari. Can’t be selling out like he has gambling debts.

This game has been ugly as hell on both sides, and these late whistles are solely to calm guys down and make sure a fight doesn’t break out

I’m gonna check the Pistons stats after next game and I can guarantee you all these bummy Pistons players that showed their asses tonight won’t at all have that same impact next game. Paul Reed scored 3 points last game. He had 13 tonight. Duncan Robinson had 2 points last game. Had 17 tonight. That’s complete bullshyt, but several of the Pistons 3s were not even contested.
Also, Sengun had some complete p*ssy drives to the basket. He was stripped multiple times and went up so weak. The whistles were disgusting all night, and killed momentum for both teams, but that’s a stinker of a home loss right there.

Call Brogdon and see if he will be interested in playing 25 minutes a night as a starter.

Before they even made the move, I was wanting for them to try Okogie in the starting lineup just to shake stuff up and it works. He plays all the defense that you want and isn’t a negative on offense. You still need a real PG that spot, but that’s fine for now instead of constantly running the big lineup with Amen at PG.
Was also good to see Reed get those minutes being productive and also allowing KD to not play 40 minutes. Amen did assist his ass off too, and Tari finally decided to play like he wasn’t taking the under on himself and point shave. He was very active and productive.

Looked like the Raptors p it up more of a fight than the Celtics lmao. Whooped them up from wire to wire. Okogie was a fantastic pickup and I instantly knew that would be a solid signing in the vain of first year Josh Smith/Corey Brewer. Also glad to see Reed continuing to get minutes and put up solid numbers. He initially looked like a fish out of water, but he’s basically doing stuff on the fly, and it’s better to do that now that to be forced to in the playoffs and he looks REALLY bad. Great all around game from everybody and that should continue.
