D. Rose returns to the Windy City.

What’s the starting lineup tonight?

November is here, Any update on Blake?

Time to bounce back after Toronto!

I expect Rose to be good tonight, he's playing for his hometown so a little bit more edge. Casey will probably give him an even longer leash than usual.

No more Frazier starting though. I'd rather have anyone else. Rose and Luke off the bench after 5 mins of the 1st quarter?

I'm very happy for Rose and what he's been doing. I'm a little concerned tho cuz he's attacking the paint and jumping around like he's never been injured before. Glad to see he's got his health back, but I worry how long he will last by playing the way he plays.

really dont have a choice on who should start at the 1 i'd say just start rose n have frazier off the bench.

That's why he's going to stay on minutes restrictions and likley on the bench. The injury chances go way up if he's playing tired.

I'd rather see him playing at 100% than not. Injuries are like anything else--they can happen at any time to anyone. Blake is a different animal in the sense that he has a history of bad knees so you know what you're getting into. Other players have gotten injured, had surgery, gotten back to 100%, played at 100% and never got injured again.

Kennard on Lavine sounds like a really bad mismatch athletically. Maybe brown is a better option.

They can put Snell on LaVine and put Kennard on Porter.

God I miss Ish smith, I dont think i can watch frazier much longer

This team needs a floor general.

Casey needs to make sure Morris get some touches with his back to the basket Morris is a pretty good post player

Everything we do on the offensive end is high risk and low percentage. Can we actually run stuff to get guys in their spots? Anything close to a high percentage shot?

Kennard looking at another terrible game. He gets the ball, dribbles twice, stopped the dribble and is stuck. Almost every time he gets the ball. Hes so slow and scared its hard to root for him.

Move faster without the ball. Get the ball. Shoot it immediately. Repeat.

He ain't gonna do anything in this dysfunctional and directionless starting lineup. If he were in a good system like Utah for example he'd be thriving. At least put him back with Rose who pushes the pace.

Man Markieff hard to root for too.

A team of really poor vets, bad basketball, and uninspiring young players. Got to be bottom 10 in terms of what you hope your team is like.

Welp, looks like another year break for me. Good job Pistons on keeping my interest at an all time low, yet again. Kudos!

I'll try again when Blake gets back but until then;

Dear front office of the Detroit Pistons,

**** off.

Worst team in the NBA right now.

Thon trying to play himself out the nba.

Pretty much every single NBA team is more interesting to watch than the Pistons. Just changed to another game.
