GT: Pistons (10-2) vs 76ers (8-31)- Tonight at 6:30CST/7:30EST

We have another game tonight against the 6ers. We are coming off a close win to the Pacers, the 6ers are coming off a blowout win of the Pelicans (without Anthony Davis). Phili beat us in our last matchup 108-101.

MCW went off for 20 points/15 assists/7 boards/3 steals/2 blocks in our last matchup while Jennings put up a stinker- 8 points/6 assists on 20% shooting. However, Jennings has been on a tear lately and despite giving up so much and size and length he hopefully has a better game against MCW than he did before. That being said, the 6ers have no match for DrumRoe so we should still be competitive even if Jennings struggles.

This would be a big win for our playoff hopes. Indiana and Charlotte are playing tonight- if Indiana wins and we pull out the victory against the 6ers- we are in sole command of the 9th seed. If Brooklyn loses tonight, and we pull out the victory then we are one game back from the 8th seed.

Could be a trap game. Pistons need a strong 1st quarter.

No trap game here, we're gonna kick some ass - they beat us last time remember.

Big game coming from the Drummer boy.

We NEED to blow them out. We need to reclaim the Palace and I think that's the next step.

Nothing but respect for Dre's performance last night, he played like a monster. Hoping he and Jennings dominate like they did last night.

All he needs to do is eat a Banana and he will be a beast tonight.

Philly is 4-6 last games. They are getting better. No joke team anymore.

MCW is one of the players like james johnson, illyasova, etc that always play well against us in comparison to what their stats. Last game MCW didn't take any 3's which is unusual and shot 60%+ from the field. We need to keep him out of the lane, and force him to shoot the ball where he struggles and continue to turn the ball over. He had a whooping 7 TO's last game. we need to take advantage of those careless mistakes

Philly has young talent with nothing to lose. That can be dangerous. There's no guaranteed wins in the NBA.
