Preseason Game #2 Pistons @ Cavs

[biggunsbob]

It was a turnover fest but they played some defense down the stretch to get the win .. Nice steal by Knight maybe a missed fouled call but heck it is the NBA let them play.. One thing I really like is our guards can get some rebounds.. All of our guards can jump out of the gym... Knights rebound down the stretch was really nice. Probably going to be a long year but I hope I am wrong...

How many TO's did Daye have? Those nonchalant passes were killing me.

He had 5
Knight had 6
Bynum had 5

5 - brutal. I guess we're going to be seeing this kind of play for a while though.

Something to keep in mind is that high turnover rates in rookies is one of the greatest predictors of future development. This year is going to be pretty brutal, for sure, but I really like the young guys. Monroe still needs to be a much bigger part of the offense, but years 2 and 3 for Knight could be very good.

I'm fine with Knight's figure...well, not really, 6 is too many, but it's Daye's 5 that killed me. For as little as he handles the ball there's no way he should be near that number. Learn how to make a damn entry pass.

Agree about Monroe though. I'm sure they'll work in some set plays for him as the year goes on, rather than depending on a zillion pick and rolls like they have so far. Not that I necessarily disagree with that strategy for the time being, and to an extent in the future.

Knight looks like he added some muscle mass. Smart move.
