OT: THJ drops 20 on the Pistons
THJ dropped twenty on the Pistons tonight, including a closing-seconds triple. The Knicks lost the basketball game, but really should have won.
The man is and always was clutch --

Another Michigan player that did not fit in to what the Pistons wanted to do. How is KCP working out for the Pistons???
November 5th, 2014 at 11:21 PM ^
I mean, KCP is basically Timmy, plus better defense. They're essentially the same player if we're getting down to brass tacks.

Normally I'd agree, but let's be frank, that entire draft class was terrible. And by terrible I mean mean maybe the worst ever. If the Pistons end up with a solid 3 and D rotation player out of that draft it would be a major win.

Carter-Williams, Giannis, Larkin or Snell. All were drafted behind KCP, all would have been a fit for the current roster at significantly less cost. In reality, the Pistons should have traded the pick if they were unsure about who they wanted. They got a late first round talent for that draft with a top 8 pick, which even if the draft is horrible is a proverbial, "swing and miss".
Also, the fact remains that Dumars stated, "we didn't need a pg" and then drafted a pg and traded for one, neither is panning out. Meanwhile, Carter-Williams looks like a future All-Pro. I know he hasn't played this season, but last season he was head and shoulders above anyone player the Pistons had in their backcourt.

Except last year Tim shot 36% from 3 and 50% from 2, while KCP shot 32% from 3 and 45% from 2. And Tim shot more often. That's probably why Tim scored a lot more points.
November 5th, 2014 at 11:52 PM ^
I don't see how that refutes my point. Timmy is a slightly more efficient scorer to this point (on a better team, mind you) while being a significantly worse defender.

How are Nick and Mitch doing on their respective teams?
November 6th, 2014 at 6:58 AM ^
Not entirely sure how Nik is doing out in CA, but I had thought that McGary was out with a broken foot as of early in October and that he probably wasn't coming back much before Thanksgiving. Hopefully, once he comes back, McGary does well - it's just sad to see him get sidelined with injury when you know what he could potentially give a team.
November 6th, 2014 at 8:22 AM ^
I bet he averages 17min and around 8 or 9pts a game.
November 6th, 2014 at 7:37 AM ^
McGary, GRIII, Stauskas, THJ and Burke.

I have not seen his name in the boxscore the last few Twolves games, not even a DNP. Anyone heard anything about him?
