Spo deserves blame tonight as well. No adjustments on Bynum. Just switching Mario and Norris on him even though he was killing both. No doubling, no zone, no Lebron on him, nothing.

The schedule this season has been really weird for some reason. Heat had a 5 games in 7nights stretch earlier this year, then had 4 days off following that, and then had a stretch with only 2 road games in a 35 day span.

Agreed. It certainly hasn't been normal. It has felt for Pistons fans a lot like last season thus far. Oh well this wasn't a playoff team anyway and it pushes us to a better lotto pick this summer. So I am okay with it. It'll make next years rise toward relevance feel better.

Assuming JoeD doesn't botch his second shot at cap space...

Andre Drummond looks good. You guys might have a nice future with him and Monroe.

Will Bynum? 41 points? I was embarrassed when we gave up 43 in Q1 @PHX in '05.

Just reading this thread was frustrating as all hell. Wondering if it's worth downloading this game to see LeBron go off...

@EthanJSkolnick Austin Daye is the living definition of #randomscrubheatkiller, no?

I read this tweet at work and felt so relieved I didn't have to witness it again. One of the most annoying scrubs we'd ever let go off. Seems he didn't get too crazy tonight according to the box score.

Was Bynum mostly hitting crazy J's or layups or what the ****?

Were Ray's 3 attempts mostly contested and off-balance like he's been shooting lately? He hasn't seemed to be in a good flow lately.

17 missed 3's between our 4 shooters (Chalmers, Miller, Battier, Allen). Something you almost expect to never happen.

Looks like Bosh had a great game statistically, but he hurts us a lot when he turns it over like that, though 14 TOs as a team isn't horrible for us. Either way, even with the Knicks craziness, this is the best shooting game against us this season. I don't know the Pistons offensive numbers this year, but I'm sure they pretty much Wiz'd all over them tonight. It's just weird to see LeBron and Bosh combine for 63 while we lose to the Pistons, even with Dwyane out. However, the way we're built, if Wade's not playing we need our shooters to hit at their normal clip. Combine that not happening with the opponent starring in their own version of Angels in the Backcourt, and it's an obvious loss.

I hadnt seen that Ethan tweet. Funny that we had the same thought about Daye.

A little late but Daye hit 2 3's that keyed the turnaround in the 2nd quarter. Think he had 8 in that 2nd, all during the 1st half of that 2nd quarter where their run began. He was then quiet the rest of the game.

Bynum was hitting everything. Contested 3's off the dribble (came in with 7 3's on the season) and was hitting contested long J's, off-balanced 10 footers. Everything. Speaking of Bynum, the pic they use of him on ESPN.com is hilarious

Bosh put up great numbers tonight, but he went really, really quiet for long stretches. Was actually surprised to see he had 28.

**Jace** · 12-28-2012, 11:35 PM

I got that feeling reading the Heat Index grades, and yeah, that pic is hilarious. Looks like there's a clown to the left of the camera making him giggle.

@CoupNBA The Pistons shot 11-of-14 on above-the-break threes.

What exactly does this mean? Can't mean in transition...

**Wade2Bosh** · 12-28-2012, 11:59 PM

Looked it up

Quote:

The shorter distance makes a difference. Over the last five seasons, the league has shot 39.2 percent on corner 3-pointers and 35.2 percent on 3-pointers taken above the break (where the arc turns into a straight line). That difference in percentage produces an extra point scored every 8.2 attempts.

The most inefficient 3's and they shot 11-14.

We lost to the Pistons
