RRT Game 2 Thread: Spurs @ Pistons - Feb. 8 @ 6:30 PM CST

[Boomersgold]

How many 3s do they have to hit for us to stop leaving them? ffs, been terrible this game.

No more Mills please. Guy isn't going anything

True. If Mills isn't scoring, he's useless. Take him out.

[Dex]

Comeback starts right now.

[Manu-20]

Why the is mills on the court right now.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

This game had trap written all over it.

Yep, I called that 3 days before the RRT.

"Fri 8 Detroit W/L Close - we might lose this one, they're playing well lately and it just feels like the kind of game that turns into a suprise loss to me if Detroit gets some decent play from their guards (a big if). Drummond should be fun to watch.

Other people were saying Cleveland would be the surprise loss, but I don't see that.

NBA players hit shots when you don't bother to defend, tbh.

While a true statement, that's not what's happening in this game unless you're talking about the layups in transition. All of these 3s they're hitting are contested with hard closeouts and they're going in.

[SPIDER2311]

True. If Mills isn't scoring, he's useless. Take him out.

How can he score when tony wont even look at him

[DapDaGenius]

Spurs are playing a team that is better than their record indicates. Also the Pistons are hitting so many fluke shots so far.

True, DET is 60%+ in both FG% and 3pt%. I've always hated Will Bynum for some reason(even tho he only has like 5 pts now). We'll probably pull it together after the half and DET will tank.

[TDfan2007]

Pistons aren't missing. Contested or not.

[Texas_Ranger]

still wide open... wtf

[TDMVPDPOY]

WTF GARY NEAL U SUCK

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

so running out at 3 point shooters isnt working lol

[spurraider21]

its ok in the 2nd half, apparently we're going to shoot in the larger rim

[EVAY]

Tony. U can pass when guys are open

Well, he did that for the entire first quarter and nothing good happened. Now he is trying it himself. If he had reason to trust others to shoot it, I suspect he would give it to them.

[LakerHater]

21 in oint lead!

[GB20]

this game is over.

[Brunodf]

ARE U ING KIDDING ME????????????????????? NEAL GETTING MORE MINUTES??/ POP BET ON THIS GAME

[LittleCriminal]

#45 sucks too!!!

[TDfan2007]

Neal's defense has been atrocious. He singly-handedly got Knight going.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Called the out of the Minne game too:

"Wed 6 Minnesota W Ravaged by injuries, need Splitter to play Pek tough, should be entertaining but we're better and fresh.

microball tbh, Pop can't get enough of it sadly.

Um, no they aren't. A hard closeout results in a block or stopping the guy from shooting. If you aren't close enough to prevent him from getting a shot off in rhythm, it's not good defense.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

just keep chugging and hope they miss

[timtonymanu]

Meh. It's not like the Pistons are the worst team in the NBA. This effort is crap, but I wouldn't call it embarassing.

[JingleJangleJingle]

jesus ing christ even the alley oop pass almost went in for the pistons

[Obstructed_View]

Three point play.
