getting put through the east coast ringer - brutal couple of losses no doubt but we did good for being bookless in detroit

these games build character - our supporting cast need this type of action before the playoffs cuz book won't always be on the court

im over complaining about the ref's calls - now it's them stopping the games with nonsense right when we get going - houston - miami and now detroit where the game just comes to a hault for no real reason- breaks my brain - play the game

Pistons missing free throws is not an anomaly - they are 2nd to last in the league in team FT%. That will bite them in the ass come playoff time.

GA was tired and missed many 3pt attempts in the 4th. Pistons got really physical on D, that's when we really needed Booker or Green to go 1-on-1. Goodwin, Oso played big for us, and to a lesser extent Livers who noramlly does the right things on both sides even not scoring much. Brooks' ISO was not good for team offense this time.

Bummer. Two games we could’ve snuck away with. Don’t complain about refs much but I think they were awful this game. Still like the fight on the team in both games.

Is everyone ready to concede that Grayson Allen is too valuable to trade?

Did you a see a win or something? I saw a guy who got exhausted midway through the 3rd quarter but kept chucking shots, regardless of how open he was. He went 2 for 10 from deep. He's also regularly our worst defender and picked on by opponents.

I like Grayson but he's far from untradeable.

nothing like a good book - amirite - after his 13 point first quarter they gave grayson the devin booker business - being obnoxiously bumped off ball - double teamed - all 5 guys trying to stop him from getting the ball

grayson did what he could and had a great game - it would have been bad without him but he can't do everything book does like getting teams into foul trouble early in the 4th quarter

these last two losses are understandable but hurt even worse knowing we were in a position to win both road games against quality ball clubs - and idk if book will be back against the knicks - we don't want a nagging ankle injury
