I'm actually looking forward to seeing Walton play again. Bey, Diallo and Garza should all benefit from having a true point guard in the game.

Saddiq is utterly miserable in the fast break. Always has been.

Diallo aggressive but forcing things a bit. I would like to see him penetrate and dish if its not there.

Seems to be common problem with a lot of the Pistons. They love dribbling into traffic.

To the surprise of no one, free throws are about to be 17-2.

Kelser commenting about how it's on Diallo and Bey to score and while I don't disagree, those two need to realize that's not a license to get stupid about it.

Remarkable how easy it is for Garza to score in the paint when there's a point guard who gets him the ball in the paint. Yes, I know this is a cutting edge offensive game plan in Casey's world.

I will say this right now and I'm 100% serious...Derrick Walton is the best pure point guard this team has had this season.

You know it's rough when triple teaming Saddiq makes sense.

I don't know what goes through Saddiq's head on any fast break but he is an absolute fast break KILLER. Like EVERY SINGLE TIME he's involved in one he f**ks it up for everybody.

It always makes sense because he never tries to give up the ball until it's too late.
