The defense was fine. It's just the offense.

We really should have signed a guy who could score from the perimeter in the off-season.

We signed Alec Burks (sarcasm)

I actually think we just need a combo forward type that can shoot 3s. I thought we were okay just didn't make shots. If we had Booker last night I think it makes a difference. I also think Millsap was terrible which is understandable given the birth of his kid.

Hood does this... O for 5 one night... next night he goes 3 for 5 or 4 for 5. His outside shooting is a bit erratic game to game but he shoots a good percentage so it's fine.

Millsap is only good in situations where we need to put him on somebody on the bench and the offense is flowing. When the offense is terrible and the ball goes into Millsap's hands and he passes up an open 3 for a drive into a crowded paint, I cringe.

Would have loved to get Casspi, Jerebko, even and Illyasova type. A spot up shooter would be good no matter what position they play.

The other thing that drives me crazy about him is he reaches four or five times and grabs and I'm thinking okay now lay off a bit because they are going to call something... then it happens and he looks puzzled. 3 of our guys fouled Jackson on runners on consecutive possessions... his foul was the most annoying.

Every now and again he changes a game with his defense so he's fine, but I think I'd like to see Chris Johnson out there a bit more. Millsap should not be allowed to dribble.

Could have signed Marco Bellineli and could have signed Gerald Green.

Marco was overpaid... Green's brain is broken.

Bunch of guys signed cheap that I liked. Also, Jeremy Lin in Trey Burke's spot would change some things for us. It only took me one night to give up on Trey... His defense was horrible... made Steve Blake look like Steve Nash.

6.3 million a year isn't overpaying for one of the leagues best 3pt shooters. That will be the equivalent of a 2 or 3 million dollar contract next year. He also is a high IQ player who can pass.

Green may not be the highest IQ, but he can light it up from deep and has no conscious when he shoots, which is what we need.
 
Detroit did stomp Atlanta, a 60 win team with one of the best offenses of last year, at home. So yeah, don't feel too bad. Detroit is just clicking right now. All props to Van Gundy.

In the back of my head I always wonder if Quin can really coach our team to play the style of offense he wants. Van Gundy couldn't do it with Monroe/Drummond, so they just didn't bring back Monroe and it looks like it's paying dividends as they are now playing his brand of basketball the way he wants.
