Pistons will be without their starting backcourt. Ivey missing his 41st game in a row and Cade missing his 3rd game in a row.

I was at last night's game and one thing that's becoming clear is that if attempt to match our opponent physically we get called for fouls.

I really don't understand how or why Stewart is allowed to shove opponents on both sides of the floor. There's no nuance to it. I can't think of another player who is allowed to play like that.

And Mobley has decided he's done with the physical nature of this game.

The Pistons overloaded on Garland and let Mitchell get off. This is why I don't want to break up that backcourt.

I ended up catching a little bit of the 2nd half, Cavs really about to give away the 1 seed in the East, huh?

2nd night of a back-to-back without Strus or Ty. The Celtics are without Tatum for the rest of the regular season. We're up 4.5. I think we're safe.

Edit: That said, Mobley cannot disengage like that in the playoffs. I want everyone healthy going in, but once the playoffs come, he's got to shove back.

Tatum is active for tomorrow against the Spurs...
