Nothing new to add. A win gives us a blip of hope that won't be justified until this team FINALLY wins two games in a row. or three. Or... gasp... 4!!! A loss gives us more reasons to talk about the sky falling.

Basically, I just wanted to make a pun.

I had this game as a win on my projection so I need them to come through. Surprisingly, we've been really good on the second night of a back-to-back. Hopefully that stays true.

Pistons seems like a team that is perhaps the Utah of the East? #1 defense in the NBA, but many times have they played Houston, Golden State, etc.?

If we can score 100, we win.....I think .

C'mon Thibs, let the horses out of the barn tonight.

Would be nice to have a legitimate, big, thick body for matchups like these. Andre Drummond is a handful physically (7'0, 280 lbs). Guy's so big you need a moose or something to body him up...

No Belly tonight. Does Payne get some run?

For many players, the game might be easier than Thib's practices so they should be fresher.

Anybody else get annoyed when Jim Petersen goes out of his way to overrate an opposing player? Called Kentavius Caldwell-Pope an "elite level defender." He does this almost every game. It's unnecessary. It's like he's trying too hard not to be a homer and he ends up saying silly stuff.

Yeah, no. There is nothing that compares to the physical intensity of an NBA game. How many players have we heard say exactly that? All of them?

Our bench plays good D. The starters need to take note.
