This team has given up on defense and won't win until they get back to playing on that side of the ball.

Thornton & DMo are highly unlikely today, right?

Tolliver and Marcus starting together again? Terrible.

So Markieff can play in Washington a night after, but it takes Motiejunas and thus Thornton 3+ days to get everything settled here? I guess it's not like we subtracted anything from the current team when we added them, so it's no harm - but we should rush any benefit. We're in a dog fight for the last playoff spot, shouldn't be in cruise mode for crying out loud.

And Tolliver starting is a joke. It's not like we run a complicated offense. Everybody else stand there while Dre and Reggie run PNR, if that doesn't work you're on your own anyways.

Hey, at least Tyreke Evans isn't going to kill us again today...

i know we're all impatient to see our new players but D-Mo's physicals are a lot more rigorous than markieff's were and understandably so.

i'd rather they take the extra couple of days to get thorough physicals on D-Mo to make sure they're comfortable with his injury/rehab situation.

Odd. I thought Stan said Harris would start. Oh well. He'll get 35 min anyway

Have they confirmed Harris won't start today? I'm assuming he will with how bad the starting unit has struggled and how good he looked Friday.

How do we know DMo isn't playing?

Can't find any reliable source saying that he will or that he will not.

He might, everything checked out for both of them but DMo has done nothing with the team, couldn't make it to practice so yeah.

Keith Langlois just tweeted that the team is still evaluating the results of dmo's physical so no DMO or Thornton today

Still evaluating? Can't be a great sign. Hopefully it's just due dill

Does anybody think Detroit will void the DMo trade because of the physical? Could they try for more draft protection or it's as is or voided? And would Houston/Morey be able to challenge that to an arbitrator?
