A few games coming up are going to be brutal until people are cleared to play.

Its gonna get ugly is my guess.

Man it would be crazy if we win this but im expecting an ugly blowout.Good thing we will have a star in the linueup soon.

That starting lineup is ugly. SJ Bullock Tolliver and Ish, that should be our bench.

Would've been awesome to have Blake make his debut on a nationally televised game against the Cavs, oh well...

Gonna be tough with such a depleted roster, but maybe we catch them off guard or the Cavs internal drama catches up with them. Would be nice to see someone make the most of a game like tonight (Luke, Henry? etc.)

Call me crazy, but this lineup doesn’t match up horribly with the Cavs. I still expect a loss, but it should be more competitive than what most are expecting.

Will Henry finally get to play tonight?

Short handed, I would be surprised if we won this one. Only way that happens is if our non-shooters catch fire somehow.

Ish/Buycks/Felder
Kennard/Galloway/Hearn
Bullock/Johnson
Tolliver/Ellenson
Drummond/Moreland

Unless Stan runs Moreland at PF some, I gotta think Henry will get some time.

Our secret weapon Reggie Hearn might play tonight

Henry gets a showcase game here - hopefully he shows flashes of anything to intrigue opposing team scouts. After tonight's game we should send him to Grand Rapids as they play on the 1st, 3rd and 7th - he could play 30mpg+ for those three games to further show scouts what he can do.

He might be our best chance for another trade - with Blake Griffin here starting hopefully major minutes the next four seasons and Leuer signed through two more still, Ellenson doesn't seem to have much of a future here. Ideally we should have included him to LAC for Dekker - wonder why that didn't happen.

Pistons already selling #23 Griffin jerseys at LCA.

Nice!!!

Was wondering what number he was going to take since he can't have #32.

#23 was briefly worn by Luke Kennard before KCP left and Luke took #5 instead.

Any word on if Griffin is in town and at the game or is he still back in LA and getting affairs in order?

Dre might be out with illness

Dre is game time decision

Smith|Buycks
Galloway|Kennard
Bullock|Reggie Hearn
Ellenson|Stanley Johnson(?)
Moreland|Tolliver(?)

Missing - Andre Drummond, Blake Griffin, Reggie Jackson, Jon Leuer, Brice Johnson, Willie Reed

Can we just forfeit? Is there a 100 point lead mercy rule in the NBA?

No Dre?

Damn, Detroit is gonna get trucked.

Might be the best game to watch. Extended looks for Stanley, Luke, Reggie Hearn, Ellenson, etc.

There is probably a G league team or 2, that can hang with that squad
