I’ll take Pistons plus 5 1/2. No Butler, Bam or Dragic. Plus we’re starting Wayne Ellington!

No Butler or Bam and we've got extra rest before this one. I actually for the first time this year think we're going to win a game.

We really need our co-tank commanders Blake and Derrick to do their jobs tonight! Let's play hard and get this loss!

Man I think we win this one. If we do that puts us in a 4 way tie for worst record. Thats how easy it is to lose that guaranteed 5 pick.

It’s hard being a fan of a team who has been bad for 13 years. Imagine being paid to be optimistic. It’s gotta be exhausting

Pretty cool we're 2-9 and our least experienced starter is a 6th yr pro.

Yup Stewart 3/3 with 3 boards and he had a knock away that got Rose a steal and a layup. He's being real aggressive as usual the only downside is 3 fouls in 6 minutes of play. At first I was hoping he would just be good enough to be a backup center in this league for where we got him from but he is proving that's worst case now... he's certainly got the motor to be an average starting center in this league once he gets more experience and improves his skillset. He just put in a great 7 minutes.

Yeah Sekou did a lot more than sit hidding at the corner, I'm happy with what I saw from him so far.

Josh Jackson fell of a cliff since his injury. He can't shoot anymore, which is sad, maybe we should've waited to bring him back :(

Blakes got two moves. Busted old man hook shot and jack the 3 at a 31% clip
