I wonder if the new crew will be here in time for the game.

I was thinking about going to the matinee since I’m here in LA.

Odds of a 3 game win streak aren’t good but I’d love to see the new pieces of the puzzle in person.

Hopefully we can get some rest and come out with the same energy as the last 2 games.

Fontecchio not on the injury report for tomorrow so could suit up. Troy Brown Jr and Shake Milton questionable. All the other new recruits not available.

I just hope we can keep it close all game long. I love the early games. Partly because I'll probably post/read here during the game, although my hate for commercials makes me start the game 30-45 minutes later on my DVR

I've taken about a month off from caring about the Pistons (or watching games). I'm back post-deadline, hopefully they don't disappoint!

Monty says he’ll “try to find moments for him”.

So no, he didn’t commit to playing him. I sure hope that just means for today.

If Monty can’t find 20 minutes for Fontecchio with our weak collection of forwards and depleted roster, it just further cements my thought that he’s not trying, doesn’t care, and completely sucks.

Simone Fontecchio isn’t listed on Detroit’s injury report, meaning he’ll likely make his debut. Troy Brown Jr. and Shake Milton (trade pending) are questionable. Cade Cunningham (left knee injury management) and Ausar Thompson (left ankle sprain) are probable.

Monty is stubborn and not very creative.

I don’t see why Fontecchio doesn’t see at least 15 minutes.

Muscala got 15 minutes his first game and I think Stew was still healthy at that point.

On a separate note about his lack of creativity, I hope he can test out more small lineups with Cade, Ivey and Sasser on the floor at the same time.

Yeah hopefully we close out the game with the 3 guard lineup and Ausar at the 4 again

Yes. Cade/Ivey/Ausar/Muscala/Duren

I’ll be pretty pissed if Fontecchio doesn’t play at least 20 minutes. The guy was staring for a ~.500 team. Why are we giving up assets for guys our coach won’t play…

Really happy that the "core 4" are indeed starting.

As it should be.

It makes you wonder if coach and fo are on the same page, oh wait. Sad if he doesn’t get run.
