#Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (left knee) is listed as available for tomorrow’s game against the #Pelicans. Jalen Duren (low back spasms) is questionable. Simone Fontecchio (left big toe contusion), Quentin Grimes (right knee) and Taj Gibson (right hamstring) remain out.

Probably gonna have to sit Cade soon

It would suck to see him get a serious injury this late with nothing to play for

Hes for sure not playing at 100% right now. I think it makes since for him to sit out. That said I bet hes insisting on playing to the coaches.

I am sooo checked out of this season.

Ugh I can’t believe it still has so long to go.

There was a brief stretch there where it looked like we might end on an at least somewhat positive note. That’s been dashed.

This season needs to just go away.

Yeah, this season has been so bad that I've gone back to watching games live. Having no expectations of success or even respectability reduces it to a purely academic interest. Although, I generally have it running in the background while I amuse myself with something else and mostly keep track by attending to the replays. Approximately 50 years a Pistons fan and this is the worst I've witnessed.

I'm going to the game -- last minute thing. Apparently, after the Golden Grizzlies loss to NC State, I need to see more bubba players dominate my team. Zion had a crap game a couple days ago, so I'm so looking forward to him taking it out on us, followed by a healthy diet of donuts and porn.

That's great that you're going to the game and supporting. Enjoy! Hope the Pistons can win.

I’m as optimistic as they come and these games have become mildly torturous to watch for me.

I’m struggling to find the little improvements from any of our young players that are actually going to stick around considering the hodgepodge lineups.

I thought about taking my daughter to this one... last minute tickets were super cheap this morning... and its the last weekend game this year (just two more weekday home games after this one) but man just too many people out for me to make the trip. I'm usually the guy that likes watching even preseason games in person to get to see the young guys play but it feels like a lot of the players playing in the game today won't be on the roster next year outside of Cade/Ivey/Sasser there isn't much else and this one just has a 20 point blowout written all over it.

It's Pride Day! What do you think you're watching? I saw a nearly 7' drag queen (with 7" heels) wandering around who'd do a better job defending Zion.

Yup. Absolute trash.

Just came to see if someone's been fired yet.

Could happen at the end of this game. Pistons on track to score 40 points this game. No one can survive that. Gotta be fired.

LMAO. Is it as bad as the box score suggests?
