This is going to be just like that Bucks game I fear.

No excuse for Detroit not to cover tonight.

Nets are on a back-to-back off a hard fought, high scoring (137-133) loss @ Philly last night. Meanwhile, we're on 2 days rest and have played only once in the last 7 days.

Line is 8.5

That was a damn good game. It's one of a couple this year I've watched (non-Piston game).

I just hope they can start the game good on defense, and just move the ball. This no pass, one-pass **** never works.

Honestly, I'm about at the point where I'm not even particularly interested in watching this team play. I don't even care that we are losing, but the complete lack of effort pisses me off. If Casey can't motivate these guys then find somebody who can. I have no interest in watching us give up 140-150 points.

Man this season is the most disinterested I've been in years when it comes to the pistons. I literally only tune into games on my off days. I'm so ready for the lottery results to out lmao.

Last year's team was competitive, and played hard. This team, as you stated, pisses me off as well.

It's not fun to watch.

You really should watch more games. For me I started watching Doncic his rookie season, from game one. Its amazing how much of an impact one player, of that talent level can have on a team, organization, league.

Its a double edged sword though. On one hand you get to watch actual talent, with actual teams, that actually try. On the other, you realize just how far away the Pistons are from even being a bad team.

Oh God this lineup. Okay I guess?

Defense is horrible so Casey is starting the three worst defenders. You can't make this up.

Ivey on pace to break Wilt's single game scoring record after 3 1/2 minutes he's got 12 points.

Am I the only one who looks at this game and thinks for a moment that they are looking at a black and white tv?

Maybe we are in Pleasantville...

What a crappy color scheme for a court...

I usually only check in on the Pistons and then leave for greener basketball pastures, but Ivey scoring like that against Irving was nice. That will probably conclude what I watch of them though.

I have had my fill of Bey. Wide open shots, brick, after brick. *sigh*.

Hard to watch, but the tank is on hard right now. Pistons and a couple other teams don't want to just be one of the worst 3 teams who all have a 14% chance at #1, the very worst team, I think, is assured of picking no lower than 5. So I believe there is an all out push to have the very worst record by the Rockets, Pistons, and Hornets.

Interesting to see Killian and Stew coming off the bench. Was any reason given as to why? Just Casey looking at different options out there? Stew has not been great as of late and we are short a backup big so it makes some sense to split Stew and Duren more.... but still surprised.

They are actually playing pretty decent, good energy so far.

Yeah, definitely faded. Simply the notion of "Pistons green" makes me think my TV's color is screwed up.

These are probably my least favorite alternate jerseys the team has ever had.

Ivey with some really nice set ups for Duren. Love seeing Ivey get more and more chances to make plays for teammates with him playing without Killian next to him running everything..... the last 30 games this year need to be mostly about development of Ivey and Duren IMO. Top priority is to get those guys as much run as possible and more chances to make plays for both of them.

Much better effort tonight. The whole basketball world laughing at them had an effect I guess.
