Length at the wing is strangling Detroit!

And it's obvious again on that last possession they had.

It's not about time, it's just his body language

I don't think he's a natural alpha, but he's still young.

[JayBirdHawk]

Reddish with the defense. WOW!

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Easy money for Hunter.

[hazer]

Maybe your right and maybe it's something he can pick up on

Much needed for Atlanta sports fans tonight lol. The last few months have been a hideous nightmare.

I like this team guys but I am sorry I am not feeling Reddish at all

I don't understand this.  Reddish is out there locking people down, rebounding, passing the ball.  The only thing he hasn't done is hit his shot.  He's played well tonight. His shot will start to fall.  

What exactly don't you like about Reddish besides his shot not falling tonight? Remember both Trae and Kevin struggle to get their shot going last year.  

I love what I'm seeing from everyone tonight.

I don't wanna be too much of a debbie downer, but I'm not sure the Pistons can play offense.

I do like the way we look though. Parker is looking nice.

Plus minus is not a great metric for any single game, but his length is making an impact on defense.

I told ya'll Cam was the best perimeter defender in the draft just based on the tape. His defense was been killing Detriot. We put him on someone and they're done. It's like he is back at Duke. Offensively, he needs to shoot much better but his movement is respectable and keeps DET from selling out away from him. I just need him to make open threes. He done given us the stepback, pull up, 3 in transition, and catch and shoot and missed em all. 

[TheNorthCydeRises]

LOL Len.  Come on man.

What concerns me more is that he seems like he cant hit tough shots. I don't know many big time scorers that cant hit tough shots.

I’m so proud of these guys tonight ! I do wish Blake played ...

I want to see Trae lock this game down. Be the leader of the team and make sure they don't lose this lead.
