Utah Jazz Dec. 19th, 8:00 PM TV - FS Detroit HD, NBALP Radio WDFN 1130 The Jazz have been playing all year without either Boozer or D Williams yet remain a very good team in the Western Conference. The Jazz have been tough on the Pistons over the last few years.
Hopefully, we can get this game. I'm sick and tired of losing to Utah. The last time we beat Utah, the score was 64-62. That was a game full of missed shots and great defense.
Seems like ever since Memo went to Utah, the Pistons have struggled with that team. I'm too lazy to look up whether this is actually true. I prefer to call it "The Curse of Memo." Maybe we need to get the Mystery Machine out to the Palace and Scoob and the gang can investigate this.
If we lose Sheed, Memo would be a good replacement 3-point specialist for us. He would also bring "championship experience." His D wouldn't be anything close to Sheed's, so that would be something we'd have to use to discount our offer.
Only thing about that TaS, I think Joe let him go cause of his back problems and his inability to block out. Okur placed on IL; Pistons sign Hunter - HoopsVibe Mehmet Okur needs to learn how to block out
Boozer is not the player we should be concerned with. Somebody on the Pistons needs to be able to step up and block out Paul Milsap. He is the big man that we would have loved for JMax to be. He has been putting up real good numbers during the Boozer blu flu including 13 straight double-doubles. With that kind of production and only making about $750K, the Jazz may not be to concerned about spending any more cash on Boozer
Ok half; good defense up until the last few minutes. The 3 guard line-up only works with Arron. MC should have kept him in and on DWil. Alot of penetration on offense; Rip/AI/Stuck all playing well. Also should have put Sheed in the last 2 min.
This offense is a regular season offense, sheed is not a part of this offense, he seems lost in the shuffle. Therefore, he has no rhythm and will continue to miss bunnies because he has no feel. Sheed needs to shoot a minimum of 12 shots per game. The other bigs do not have to guard him because he will not get the ball. Pistons will not beat the better teams playing with this offense. They have to force feed sheed the ball, not 27 foot jumpers. If sheed is going to be on the team for the remainder of the year, they better force feed him.
WTF end of game line-up is this? Small-ball = BAD. Someone please text Curry this repeatedly. Tay guarding Okur
