Lousy end to the half. Pistons up only 8 at halftime in a game they should be up 15+.
13-5 run for the Knicks to end of the half. Letting a crappy team hang around.

Drummond , Bullock, Robinson three starters ZERO points.

Thought the same. And I hate when Blake shoots the 3,

His percentage is better I think . He just shoots to many of them.

38.5%. I rather have him shoot mid range move a little and draw a foul.

6.1 a game. .510 2-point shooting. It makes sense to decrease it to 2 a game.

Johnson has 20 on 7 for 9 shooting . Great hustle by him on that block. Pistons real sloppy letting Knicks hang around .. what a night by SJ. Causey has him playing real good. He has 20 pts. 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 3 blocks. Zero turnovers. 27 minutes of work off the bench for Stanley.

The team lacks shooting in general, so Blake stepping out to the three point line is part of the system to open up the game for Reggie/Andre. Also, 51% on 2s is an expected output of 1.02 points per shot. 38% on 3s is actually 1.14 points per shot. Blake taking 3s is a good thing for him and the team. As long as he doesn't fall in love with the shot and stop punishing closeouts, it's a positive.

Burke looks so quite on the Bench. Looking striiaght ahead.

For sure . We sure do need some shooters badly.

What if you take 4 3's away a game so 2 3's at 38% vs the extra 4 shot's as 2 points.. So instead of 12 - 16 shots at .510. Maybe it works out to be the same but add in the possible fouls if he goes inside. I just hate when he shoots the 3.
