(Butthead voice) "Hehhhehhehh Washington has a guy named BONG playing for them heehhhehhehh"
(Beavis voice) "Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! BONNNNGGGGGGGGGGG! Yeah! Yeah!"

So I assume Brown is going to guard Beal right? If so, Isn't Ish going to drive circles around Kennard?

And I don't think Ish can score with Luke.

I guess that's a fair point. I was more curious if they'd want to try some sort of 3 guard lineups, but given our injuries maybe not.

We need this win badly. 50% with Griffin back woulf be amazing.

To expand a bit...

Blake Griffin (knee, hamstring) is going to be re-evaluated on Wednesday.

This means that Griffin will remain on the sidelines for Monday's matchup with the Wizards, but he says that he's "very close," and simply waiting for the Detroit medical staff to give him the green light to get out there. It sounds like he might be able to make it back to the court this week, and once that happens, Markieff Morris will return to the second unit and lose most his value.

Take that Wizards uniform off, Ish. You know you're a Piston.

For a moment, I was like, damn, that's harsh, before realizing this was referring to fantasy value.

Wizards have been getting a free pass to all offensive rebounds with Maker as the sole big. I hope his minutes disappear when Blake gets back.

This is the floor spacing i wanted SVG to do years ago!! lol. After watching this game so far I don't want Blake back. Trade him for a late 1st and young player. Play Sekou instead of Morris, Play all the young players and lets see what happens

Who knew starting a world class 3point shooter would help with that?

Everyone but Casey apparently.

This is why when people accuse Andre of stealing rebounds because I have absolutely zero confidence that anybody other than him can consistently secure a rebound. It's irritating.

Luke is a beast. Kennard >>> Beal

We're having a hard time grabbing rebounds without Drummond.

Wood has been good but he's commited so many dumb mistakes. It's his fault we're not winning this game.
