Cade likely out until January. Sucks for him for sure will be an interesting next ten days.... Also will be interested to see if this jumps from player to player on our team.

Between Cade and Killian's thumb, I'm thinking Derrick Walton Jr. may get a ten day call up. Time for Saben to show what he can do with some steady minutes.

Will certainly be interesting to see who ends up getting the bulk of the shots the next 4 or 5 games. After that Cade and Kelly O should be back if all goes well. Also, you'd have to think that this finally puts Josh Jackson back in the rotation, even if its just for a week or two. Hopefully he can get it going.

Makes sense given that they played the Nets before that entire team got banished to the shadow realm with Covid. Would fit the typical incubation period. Might explain his body language or his tired look from last night

I totally forgot they had Walton Jr. That would be cool.

Sucks for Cade. Doesn’t ultimately impact the team beyond making the next several games less watchable.

Realistically, more of the team’s gonna test positive too.

Not sure I hate him getting a little time off, particularly the way this team is playing. That has to be mentally tough.

Cheick Diallo eh?

Wonder if he will be as big of a Piston legend as Cheikh Samb was?

If another player goes into Covid protocols I hear the Pistons are going to reach out and sign this guy next:

I'll bet if you were in jail and the choice was watching the Pistons or hearing some guy tell you his story about how he got screwed over by the system, you'd take the Pistons.

Depends on whether I can get ahold of some earplugs. Having never been in jail, I'll defer to your experience.

There are no earplugs in jail. A wad of toilet paper would be your best bet.

I was thinking crushed up cockroaches, once you've had your fill. That was Detroit though, not a highfalutin place that has toilet paper.

Lee, Hayes, and Stewart in COVID protocols now

Yeah, when there's one there's going to tend to be more.

That's just the way it is. I'm surprised we made it through as much of the season as we did without feeling the effect of it.

Yikes watching tonights game will be like watching the Gleague ignite.

So we have 11 players available, here's my idea of the depth chart:

PG Joseph, McGruder
SG F Jackson, J Jackson
SF Bey, Livers
PF H Diallo, Pickett
C Lyles, Garza, C Diallo

At least it will be different. I'm actually looking forward to seeing more of the young guys.

Wow. This might as well be a scrimmage. I'm slightly intrigued to watch in the same way people like to rubberneck.
