Rubio-Russell-Edwards 1-2-3 combo is interesting. We've got a ton of size on them there.

Kind of get the feeling that Stewart is going to frustrate KAT in this game.

This is no tank battle. Minny's trying to win games. And they've been doing a nice job of it under Finch.

Pistons have 7 guys listed as out and both Jackson’s are questionable.

I’ll have to check out the Wolves board to see if those guys are rooting for the tank.

Good times

Sekou looks like the first guy to realize that Hayes is going to find him if he runs hard.

I think the offensive plan for this game is that there is no plan, lol

Russell needs to get his act together otherwise this game might stay closer than I'd like

I'm not kidding; watching the offensive flow it seriously looks like Casey isn't coaching at all, like he said "I'm just gonna watch; it's your show."

Impressive tank job. Okay, a little too much overkill with the tank job. Hope Casey is in his happy place. The young Pistons look beat, and quite frankly, it must be hard to gear up for a game your team is clearly trying to lose.

If I were a superstitious man, I'd fear that a tanking game of this caliber would bring the wrath of god down on us and drop us to the 6th pick. Or wherever our lowest ends up being.

It's a good thing I'm not a superstitious man...I think.

You have it all wrong. Clearly Casey is trying to win every game by making a late season push, and it's the players' fault that the Pistons are losing so badly because the roster sucks.

If that were the case I can think of a handful of other teams that would be slotted in the worst position possible.

I am pleased with the first half. 24 losing minutes to go!
