Piston's 3rd String Comeback Not Enough Vs. Nuggets

[@jerryalexander8803]

Holland, Ausar, and Sasser on the court together reminds me of when Lindsey Hunter, Mike James, and Corliss Williamson used to come off the bench for the '04 Pistons and wreak havoc..

@@jerryalexander8803 plus Paul reed

[@buckandrzejak4673]

I was Defensive player of the year in 1976. I could watch Reed play D all day.

[@bradpattan9300]

the 20 fts the nuggets shot in the 3rd gave them a good cushion, watching the game it was hard to tell exactly what the fouls were but🤷‍♂️

[@empidonaxdvg]

I wish Reed would get more minutes.

[@markwood3440]

They made a MISTAKE in messing with the center rotation, should of had Reed be the first off the bench.Stew could wait to come back on the homestand coming up. There's a old saying " IF IT'S NOT BROKE DON'T FIX IT"!

[@manny5825]

I would like to see a frontcourt of Reed and Stew. I think both can complement each other as they can stretch the floor and switch with guards.

[@pheralanpathfinder4897]

I'm disappointed that JB hasn't played Stew at PF. At this point I don't think we will see it this season.

[@tedwitus]

Thanks @Pistons_Jacob love your takes on Bball Paul and Ron Holland II .. i think the 5280' maybe influenced J.B.'s distribution of minutes .. What are your thoughts about Wendell Moore Jr.? about who i knew nothing but have been impressed with what i've seen. #GoPistons #GoLions #GoTigers (love your retro sweatshirt)

[@planet7ean632]

This is a good team dont have complaints on any if them. When they play great defence they shine. They got the dudes for it.

[@Antonio-h7c]

Tobias problem

[@planet7ean632]

@Antonio-h7c I think he's solid wouldn't say he's a problem

[@OurFamilyInMotion]

Reed should be starting.

[@ShahanNolan]

Our best center😮, play him.

[@pheralanpathfinder4897]

​@@ShahanNolanstew has been better all season

[@deadbol8090]

I think letting them rest the 4th was a good choice, we weren't going to win with how they were getting the whistle. Seeing the bench get there reps was nice, they scored 50+

[@alimissilmani3783]

Feel like the reffing today really got into Cades head. Hard to play when one game you get calls and the next they don’t call shit for you

[@CarsonClaws]

No idea why JB didn’t put the starters back in when they cut the deficit down to 7

[@pheralanpathfinder4897]

Often coaches would do that. But sometimes it's better to ride the players who are actually playing well at the moment.

[@markwood3440]

JB fumbled the ball on this one,should of kept Paul Reed in the same spot in the rotation. Automatically letting Stewart back up Duren was a mistake. You can clearly see Reed was in a groove the last few games, and Stew was rusty.It wouldn't of been such a bad idea to wait till we start this homestand before you put Stew back.

[@pheralanpathfinder4897]

With hindsight I agree. But he might be rusty his first game back anyways.

[@cerebralcortechreviews1426]

There is no reason that Isaiah Stewart should have been playing over Paul Reed. Reed deserves every minute!

[@pheralanpathfinder4897]

Stew has been the best center all season. Do you need any other reason?

[@cerebralcortechreviews1426]

@pheralanpathfinder4897 that's just incorrect. His play is sloppy, don't have a jump shot, and unathletic. Paul Reed is bigger, faster, can shoot the ball and makes the offense flow smoothly

[@larrythomas1591]

Take Harris out and put anyone else in..

[@KrzysztofPlizga]

man look at Tobias stats, there is no reason to play him much, let Paul Reed, Bobi or Ausar take his minutes, let them develop, Tobias is not a long-term solution

[@pheralanpathfinder4897]

We are probably stuck with Tobias starting this season. Thankfully he's only under contract for 18 more months

[@KrzysztofPlizga]

@@pheralanpathfinder4897 well everyone knew whar Tobias was, we needed someone decent to freeze money for 2 years till we decide who to extend, i mean Iver Ausar Duren, and its fine, beside we can use this next year as expiring contract. My only thing Tobias' 32min per game is too much at the cost of youngsters

[@pheralanpathfinder4897]

@KrzysztofPlizga I think Trajsm is trying to avoid any risk of losing 60 games while tanking. Tobias starting at PF gives the Pistons a 20 win floor but keeps us far from winning 40 games. The difference between pick 9 and 13 could be substantial

[@idkwateverworks]

Honestly if we would’ve had Cole Swider instead of Wendell Moore jr or bobi klintman in the game we would’ve won.

[@pheralanpathfinder4897]

Very unlikely. We were to far behind and had no answer when the Nuggets starters were trying

[@Hilltop238]

Duren stalls the Piston offense, Stewart sucks

[@unclesam6972]

Stewart hasn’t played in weeks

[@pheralanpathfinder4897]

Stewart is the best center on the team. Duren has never been a good defender. Unfortunately I'm not sure if he has any trade value
