Game day and my Pistons app just confirmed that Andre the Giant is back and STARTING tonight.
Safe to say I'm excited and will be watching!

Will be interesting. Funny how Frank says he will be "eased" into the lineup but he is starting his first game back.

I think we get a win here. Drummond is back will have all our guys hyped up, and Toronto is in tank mode.

"LFrank says one reason Drummond starts is to maximize his minutes together with Monroe over final 10 games." according to Twitter.

Looks like Frank finally understands.

Dream Scenario: Drummond and Moose show why they're the front court of the future, but we lose a close one because Lowry lights up Jose.

looks like I will finally get to watch a game

With Knight coming out of nowhere dishing 20 assists.

I am one of those who thought we should have started them together from game 1 but I cant criticize the coaching staff for the way they have handled Drummond because of the results & thats all that matters.

The offseason is going to be huge, Drummond can improve a ton.

Can't wait to see Moose/Dre!

Also can't wait to see how Jose looks with these 2 beasts up front, and how the Dre/Jose dynamic is going to work.

Drummond says difference between Bynum & Calderon is "Jose doesn't really need a screen to throw a lob to me. He sees the whole floor."

Im really excited but it's truly a travesty that we had to wait this long to see this. Now move Knight back to PG and I'll be happy for the last month of the season.

All we can hope for is jose picking up quick fouls.

Shame that this will be his first start of the year.

Let's temper some of our enthusiasm a bit. Now, I want Drummond to do well too and am excited to see him back our there AND starting -- but dude's been out a long time. He'll likely play low minutes and/or show some rust tonight.

This.

With Drummond back, rocking the new Av! Tankbusting time!! Let's win some games and play .500 basketball the rest of the way.

Must lose game still

Not me. I'd rather go 9-0 the last stretch and pick 11th. Imagine the high we'd head into the off-season on, and it would also mean Drummond was a beast, played well with Monroe at PF and that Calderon and Knight showed promise together in the backcourt.

yeah, in this draft I'd rather us have success with Dre/Moose/Calderon/Knight these last games.

The difference between winning meaningless games the last few years and now is that we were doing it with meaningless players like Maxiell, Tayshaun, Gordon, etc who had no future here. But I think if this 4some is to be the main core of our starting lineup next year, it WILL create positive momentum that we can benefit from next year.
