Pistons / 76ers thoughts: - John Collins is every embodiment of Detroit basketball. Having him as a consistent two-way punch is just going to keep playing dividends - Both teams didnt have their core in No Ausar/Duren or VJ/Embiid — in these situations love to see new sets and game plans arise from JB and Nick Nurse and allows other players to get opportunities - Ebuka Okorie (2 Min/ 2PTS off getting to the line) + Adem Bona, one of my favorite young backup centers. Great rim runner and lob threat. Will give credit on his poster on John Collins. People forget Bona is capable of momentum changing plays - Bball Paul, Duncan, Daniss were vital down the stretch. There’s a different demeanor when we have players out already this year. Just going to work and making big shots. Following missed shots for extra opportunities, always at the glass, and these 3 confidence is just shining through - We have to live in the moment with Ron Holland, not sure if the offensive will get there. But there’s no denying his impact everywhere else. Did you see that one see poss where he mirrored Jaylen Brown to a T for the block?? 9 Reb 4 ast 2 Blk 1 Stl. W Ron -76ers shot 7/27 from 3, 37 reb compared to the Pistons having nearly 20 more reb than them (54). Pistons 41.2% from 3. winning the rebound battle and shooting like that will be v hard to beat always - CADE! 26/8/8/2/2. Pistons are 3-0 and remain undefeated
