Game #19: Detroit Pistons Vs. Cleveland Cavaliers

[sc8581]

Drum in 19 mintues got 12 reb.

Max in 28 min 6 rebounds. Like Drum destroys Max in every aspect of the game and still doesn't start.

Maxiell plays away from the rim so Monroe has a little room to work down there, several other things factor in as well, but i'm not going to waste my time explaining it to you.

Drummond tires far too easily. Maybe we should all lay off Frank because I'm not sure Drummond is ready for a heavy work load.

springs drummond? lol wtf
thats cleaves nickname for andre

Yeah to be fair, Drummond basically admitted on twitter a few minutes ago that he was out of breath.

Not just his conditioning, but his tendency to pick up fouls is up there too. I still say he needs to get more minutes, maybe 22-25 mpg, instead of the mid-upper teens he's been getting.

I wonder if he's getting winded easily because most teams second units run more? Not that he shouldn't be able to keep up, but he's so gifted physically he's in every play, unlike a lot of guys who stand around because they know they have no shot at that rebound or whatever else. Just a thought

Thats a good point he is 280 and running around like hes 210.

Well Frank plays his starters like this most of 1st quarter half of the 2nd off most of 3rd half of 4th off, i would think Drum would be given enough rest

Strive I compared his 1st yr stats to billups I DIDN'T EVER SAY KNIGHT WAS BETTER THEN BILLUPS BUT THEIR 1ST & 2ND YR STATS ARE VERY CLOSE & STATS DON'T LIE THE ONLY THING IS HIS T.O. SO STOP IT..

Brandon Knight just air balled a layup.

And certain people want to compare him to Chauncey. SMH

[mike 810]

People keep looking at billups after he got to the pistons what about before then??? I guess Shyfly crew is over looking the 6-7 years he was in the league before then lol...

[mike 810]

I do recall knight beating Irving in every stat category in both matchups last yr. But Irving is so much better averaging 4.1 t.o. per game & less assist then knight. So I guess the cavs should make him a sg or trade him asap lol...

Then I guess stackhouse was better then Kobe, Pierce, shaq and hill and everyone else when he lead the league scoring 29.2 ppg. Thats exactly your logic.

Knight lead all rookies last year in min and shot attempts, Billups didn't, did you look into that?

And the fact your still on this debate after watching Knights passing in this game against the cavs proves you only go by stats and don't actually watch games
Knight could've gotten 8 turnovers this game if it wasn't for his passes being deflected back to him

uh mike, can you stop looking at stats and actually look at the game for once in your life. Do you know irving gets doubled tripled team every game and Knight doesn't? That accounts for his high turnovers. Knight should not be making turnovers cause he is never the focal point in any ones defensive plan.

And the few times knight did get doubled team he is automatic at turning it over, imagine if it happened all the time

Knight couldn't even play well this game when he was going up against jeremy pargo

I was thinking the same thing. No need to give him too many minutes, people always talk about hitting the "rookie wall". It is much easier for a smaller player to log more minutes as a rookie. Even if he ends the season averaging about 22 mins per, I would be happy. With his progress that would probably put him in the top 5 rookies this season.
