10/27 Game Thread Detroit Pistons @ Atlanta Hawks

SVG is one of the most transformative coaches of the past few decades, tbh.

The Pistons have pretty marginal talent, but he'll get them to the Playoffs because his system breeds wins.

He's the man.

Preach.

As a Pistons' fan, I enjoyed seeing the club get off to a solid start.

That said, Dennis Schroder wreaked some havoc out there tonight. Steve Blake carved up Atlanta's 15th string in the preseason finale on Friday (something like 12 assists in 20 minutes), then Schroder came in and just gave him nightmares tonight. I thought Schroder was going to turn the tide all by himself, d'ing up full court and whatnot then operating via pick-and-roll.

At what point did you think the tide would turn?!? Tip-off?

I was a little worried when Atlanta went on a 14-0 run to take a 30-25 lead early in the second quarter. I wasn't sure if Detroit had to just find a way to weather the storm or if the Hawks had just finally woken up and were about to assert their dominance.
