Washington is a horrible team, but the turnovers (unforced) are killing us... Basketball 101 -- no jump passes. If you're in the air, shoot it. What's so hard about that?

I like Duren going to the hole, but does he have to bring up the ball? Tie game, and an early one, but it's not as entertaining without Cade.

Pistons just beat themselves all game

If turnovers were a good thing, the Pistons would be a championship team.

I think we literally have more wins than charges taken.

Enjoy remaining fans. I'm going to start turning games off, before the end, so I don't have to watch the bad parts. It's like fast-forwarding through the crappy parts of movies.

Killian airballs the 3 ft floater.

To be fair to him though, it did get two thirds of the way there.

That should count for at least 1 point, right?

I have to wonder how good Ivey might become. Some of his play in recent games has been impressive.

This is a W

Up 11 with 7 to go would be a massive let down to let this one slip away.

I see positive signs. I don’t care what anyone says.

I’m not going to form a negative opinion unless the cap space is squandered on marginal losers.

He definitely has some handles and tunnel vision stuff he has to work through but it's only his second year after starting out in the doghouse by Monty. I think he's definitely got potential to be really solid

Nice game from Ausar and Ivey did good as the man with the ball in his hands today. Definitely some sloppy TOs but he kept the pressure on them.

This dumbass coach had Ausar buried on the bench for the last month behind Isaiah Livers, man.

He had Ivey playing 10th man behind Killian Hayes.

Might be Ausar's best overall game he's played. Defense wise he's really great

Win #4

It took trading Livers and Bagley to staggering minutes for Stew and Ausar

You almost have to force Monty to not play his weird favorites. Maybe Hayes is next

Thought that was Duren on that Ivey block

Feel like he plays Hayes so much cause everyone else just wants to dribble the ball off their own foot.

Still not justified but not sure what else he sees
