[biggunsbob]

Harris still out for personal reasons.
Stewart may be out with a bruised back. He might be back too.

 

[biggunsbob]

Btw the clippers had a 23 point lead at Phoenix with 2:01 left in the third period. It was 95-76 end of three. Suns out scored them 43-22 in the 4th.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Even in Arizona I dislike these late games.

 

[biggunsbob]

Everyone is a no show so far to start. Cade is playing terrible. Just dribbling and jacking threes. . Wake up and run some plays.

Oh and play defense and stop fouling Harden.

 

[biggunsbob]

Dennis hits pistons 1st three !

 

[biggunsbob]

Trail 32-26 after one. Harden has 23 points.

 

[biggunsbob]

Trail by 5 . Shooting 2-12 from three. Dennis has both.

 

[biggunsbob]

Cade gets third foul right at end of half.

57-57 at half.
3-15 from three. All from Dennis.

 

[biggunsbob]

Team is really struggling from three 4 for 19 with 6:52 left in the third.

 

[biggunsbob]

Now 4-22 from three. Cade 0-5, Tim 0-2, MB 1-5, Dennis 3-5
Holland and Beef Stewart 0-1 each. Von-tech 0-1

Someone please get hot !

 

[biggunsbob]

Cade hits a three !

 

[biggunsbob]

Trail 91-89 after three.

 

[biggunsbob]

Story of the game after three is the pistons poor shooting.

Pistons 5-21 from three.
Clippers 10-17 from three.

 

[biggunsbob]

Cade and Beasley back to back threes tied it and a bucket forced clippers into a timeout. Back and forth game. Is it me or are these refs letting a lot of banging going on ? Both ways.

 

[biggunsbob]

Crap now we are falling apart. Went from up 99-97 with ball to down 105-99 after two clipper threes and two bad turnovers by us..
Beasley was just getting ready for a three shot up two when he was striped and lost the ball. Then next play he ran over a guy. Clippers do a lot of grabbing Down 8

 

[biggunsbob]

Well we have hit five threes in the fourth but trail by 6 late.
We need some stops. We can’t buy a bucket

Cade never touched his face.

 

[biggunsbob]

Frustrating loss. We let this one get away from us up 99-97.

We only had 5 threes heading into the 4th. I would have bet the house that we had won if you told me we hit over 5 in the fourth.

 

[biggunsbob]

How and why did coach B get a tech ?

Oh I know why. Pistons 14 19 free throws.
Harden alone was 16-20. (Only 22-26 overall).

Still I hate how Harden flops for calls.

 

[biggunsbob]

Harden ends with 50.
