Shooting 35 percent in the last 6-7 games and season average dropped to 40 percent


AB, Crowder, IT4 just haven't looked the same (and weaknesses exposed a bit more) ever since leaving CBS system. 

If anyone thinks coaches don't matter in this league (clowns Felger and Mazz don't). They are wrong..

really safe to say that Brad Stevens really maximized everyone's talents last year

[Quetzalcoatl]

Evan Turner too.

The lesson though shouldn't be that Stevens turns these guys into stars, but other coaches should be using their players thoughtfully and spend the time to adjust their systems based on current personnel.  Everyone acts like Stevens is magic when he's just really prepared and not stuck in his ways as much as anything.

Also leave it to Celticsblog to equate six bad games with being washed up forever

I really thought before the season that Detroit would be a top 3 team in the East

[kozlodoev]

Um, Bradley is averaging 15 ppg even with the recent shooting slump. He's looked every bit the same if not better in Detroit. Come on now.

he may have another nagging injury,  common for him . something , that is not bad enough to hold a good man down ,  yet is bad enough to effect his play or shooting .  I think Kyrie has this going on with him too a some level. His minor injuries are adding up and effecting his overall game.

IT and Crowder just look lost on the Cavs .   They were used to a coach lead , well structured smooth operating team and fit into their roles .   

Lebron is not able to coach , be a player , and be everything to his team 24/7 .  His teams are based on out physical the opponent .  iT and Crowder don' t have those elite physical gifts to play a street ball beat up the other guy by being taller and faster and stronger.  They are great players when part of a true team system lead by a third party .....Not a coach player

Stop trying to devalue my players before the deadline!

Also Olynyk is looking good in Miami. They love him there for his BBIQ.

Bradley is also a big reason why Detroit is in the playoff hunt this season. He turned the culture of that team around.

Bradley recently suffered a groin strain missed some games -that injury can linger and be enough
to throw your game off a bit

Last year the Pistons won 37 games.  This year they’re on pace for 39 wins.  That difference can be explained by statistical noise as much as anything.

I hope we can look at our own bench this year, and how the lack of shooting and passing impairs that unit so much, and appreciate Olynyk a bit more around here in retrospect.  I always did, but many others always went on about his inconsistencies on the stat sheet. 

He was always making the offensive numbers better though and that's why, plus being a smart team player.  That shooting and passing from the big man spot also helps every other player a ton.

I'm on anesthesia right now and just found the thought 'Harry meets Salty" hilarious

Mrs. Salty and I quote that movie to each other all the time, so I’m finding it funny as well.  A TP for the humor and continued healing to you.

Interesting take on it. I like CBS but as of late have been frustrated with his system. Watching Baynes take 3's makes me want throw the clicker through the TV, lack of passing, falling in love with the 3, no foul shots because nobody takes it to the hoop and #1 thing that drives me crazy is a lack of emphasis on rebounding! Sometimes when they win I can't figure out how lol. Often they look horrible and make the game harder than it needs to be. Vastly different than how they played the first 20 games of the year, wish they would go back to that.
