From Phoenix the final score is 98-92. Detroit missed too many free throws, not to mention the -10 John Loyer brings to every night’s table.

Josh Smith, I love you, but 0 for 8 should have been stopped midway through by a better coach helping out the situation.

Loyer is now 0-9 on the road.

Rodney Stuckey played well, scoring 23 on 10/19. I think if we made sense we’d let Brandon Jennings-Stuckey-Smith-Greg Monroe-Andre Drummond play and gel more. That’s our obvious starting five. Where they at?

(I just saw the box score: Jennings did not score.)
