who is going to be the small ball center when stewart and lyles inevitably get in foul trouble trying to guard jokic?

This one, is gonna get super ugly. I hope im wrong, but the Pistons are weak where the Nuggets are not only strong, but all world level.

Coming off the bench or out?
Nevermind. Just saw that he's listed as available.

If they really want to win this game they just need to double on Jokic every time he catches the ball in the paint.

I don't think he's gonna keep pace with Jokic for the whole game but it sure will be fun while it lasts

So Killian off the bench eh? Probably a good idea, get his some run against second units see if it helps his confidence on offense.

Pretty sure the stats show he's the best player of all time passing out of a double team as far as the TS% of his teammates after he passes out, or the points per possession after he passes out.
That said, we're going to be in a whole lot of trouble if Beef Stew is out as well so doubling is really the only option at this point because no one is going to be able to body him.

I gotta say that Lyles is actually starting to make some good decisions on when to shoot and when to drive/draw contact and a foul. He's making me swear at him a lot less.

He shot 46% from three for us last year. He's just firing it a lot more now and they are looking to get him the ball a lot more now.

O...M...G...the Pistons have two more FT's than the opponent after a quarter. Can this be real?

Getting here late, I enjoyed watching Stafford beat the goat and win his 2nd playoff game.

McGruder shot 46% from 3 last year for the Pistons - at 41-42% this year from 3.
He doesnt play many games, but when he plays it seems he gets good minutes and takes a lot of shots. So who knows?

Great to see Killian finally come off the bench. Right call for him to get burn running the team on his own. That drive had some luck, but it did go in.

They're active on defense this game, that's for sure. Both teams

Just wish we weren’t playing CoJo more - unless it’s a conscious decision to drive up his value for a trade soon.
