The Real 2014-15 NBA Regular Season Thread

I would love KCP if he could play like this more often. Having a hell of a game.

 
He's taken some bad shots though, is he a chucker?

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I'm intrigued by the defensive potential of a Cole, Jrue, Pondexter, Davis, and Asik lineup.
 
I don't want Asik to return next season though.

Yes very much so. Be able to live with it if he had more games like this though.
Normally he just scores his 12 and does it on a low % lol.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

11.9 pts on 11.2 shots a night, yikes lol

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Is Atlanta coming back down to earth? Lost 3 of their last 4 and in a close one with Milwaukee.

 

[RipCity32]

Palace is chanting "we want Prince." hahah

 

[elcheato]

Yes, Cavs got the East by the horns dawg

 

[RipCity32]

Really didn't think the Pistons had a chance against the Bulls (depleted roster) and then the Wizards (Reggie's first game), but I was wrong. Couple real quality wins in a row there.
 
Reggie started the game 0-8, but finished very strong. I love his ability to get to the rim, and seems pretty damn good finishing around there. Bit better court vision that I thought he had too which was refreshing. You can tell he is very confident in his game though which is pretty nice. 17, 5, and 5.
 
Half game out of 8th now. Interesting test on Wednesday with the Cavs. Tough fucking part of the schedule apparently lol.

kcp got an open look and he stepped back for a long three. idiotic.

nice game all around. need more of that

 

[Big Bid'Ness]

Reggie Shmurda tho

 

[Pugz]

watched tay in the presser.

he doesn't want to be here. i don't care what he says. the fans were chanting for him loud too. he has the same exact locker room role he did in boston but he's going to be getting minutes here too. still doesn't like it.

dude doesn't even live here either. after all that time.

 

[Teagz]

Tayshaun's a bitch. Only reason the fans like him is because he's the last remnant from the 04 team. He never connected the way that Chauncey, Rip, Sheed and Ben did imo.

 

[Pugz]

it's 100% clear he never did. he talked boston up so well and said he loved he role. he has the same role in the town that adored him and he's being so fucking bitter. i get he wanted to go home but shit dude, help us turn it around and dip after. fuck him.

 

[RipCity32]

Reggie Jackson was so pumped he threw up in the first quarter during a timeout lmao.
I guess that explained the awful start.

Not trying to defend him, but he never was the most hype guy out there in general. Just a boring dude on and off the court lol.
 
If things did go down how he said, then I guess I can understand that he was more or less upset about being traded in general, not that he's mad he's back in Detroit. 
 
Either way though, got him for like 27 games and he's likely gone again lol. He was talking like he plans to play a few more years, but I doubt it would be here unless he does want to retire a Piston. Doesn't seem likely though.

i don't think at all he's going to be back. im just a little surprised he seems so upset about being here.

Joe D probably left a bad taste in his mouth about the place. Said he felt disrespected the way he was traded. New regime now though, so we shall see how he reacts with a few games under his belt.
 
What do you see as the ceiling for Reggie though?

joe really ruined it for him. svg has always praised him since his orlando days. new team. was told he's a guy here to mentor and start. still upset. he was pretty much told to play for his next contract lol

not too sure right now. he has the towers down low so if he becomes a willing passer to them, along with his driving game, he could be a really solid player for us. if he could get us anywhere from 14-17ppg/6-8apg id be happy. too hard to gauge right now. im just happy we have a potential core that can grow for a while.

 

[RipCity32]

Yeah it is pretty hard to gauge. Showed some star flashes though which gets me quite excited. 
Interested to see how Stan can mold him defensively. Definitely has the tools to be a good defender, just gotta get them put together. Stan was able to make Jennings a decent defender so lol.

 

[Pugz]

a lot of him rides on stan imo. he's a tough coach and seems to get the best out of his guys. reggie is the best point guard he's coached too imo, and jameer was an all-star.
