As Roma won citizen derby against Lazio, in Italy we are in constitutional referendum madness and tonite Reggie will be back. Bloody Sunday :)

RJ is in tonight.

Let's hope the fluid ball movement we've been seeing isn't out.

Why not Second? Toronto doesn't impress me like that.

So happy that Reggie is back. Will SVG put him in s5?

Toronto is a team that has had some stability so they are a good team. They have lost some important pieces so they could falter but they are a good team.

Cleveland, toronto, detroit.

Everyone else in the east this year is meh.

Fingers crossed that he is well. Last year's Reggie on this year's team is encouraging. Should give the team a morale bump, not that they need it too badly at the moment. I expect to see a lot of Ish, who has impressed me once he hit his stride. He's been a solid team player. So heady and unselfish. Working Reggie back in should be interesting. It will be so nice to have his end of game abilities back.

If we're going to make our way up to home court advantage in the East in the first round, this is the type of game we've got to win.

Home games against lottery teams we should be 90%+

Glad Reggie is getting back tonight, excited to see it.
I do hope that everyone is mentally preparing themselves for any transition period that may exist for the team while Reggie is being worked back into the starting lineup though. Just understand the situation and don't go crazy if it's not seamless.
We should also realize that Reggie isn't going to play the game the same way that Ish does. Reggie is more of a scoring/PnR PG, but he is a very good NBA PG and getting him back into the starting lineup is the best thing for the Pistons long term. I also thought our best ball movement of the season last year was in the series vs Cleveland and Reggie was a big part of that.
Ish has played great lately, but remember that he had his own struggles as well this year. Ish will be a great change-of-pace PG with our second unit.
