I just wish Cojo and Rodney could sit out.

We're really in full tank territory now by the looks of the injury list every game. Will be some ugly basketball, especially when we're still giving Cory Joseph 25 MPG.

We've got 5 or 6 games in a row coming up against teams below .500, but it still feels like we'll be lucky to win one of those games. Still waiting on a big break out scoring game from Ivey.

More reps for Ivey with Bagley and Wiseman over the remaining games is good for all three of them going into next season. That and seeing if the new pickups can show something. Not much else to look for in these games.

I actually thought with Bey gone, we'd see more out of Livers off the bench.... hopefully he gets in some double digit scoring games over this last month + of the season.

I was hoping to see Livers take advantage of the Bey trade to develop further with more minutes. Right now, he looks like an adequate rotation backup wing but this is his chance to solidify his role. These games may be more important to him than any other Piston.

Livers is a good defender, but not aggressive on offense, despite being a good 3-pt shooter (compared to most on our team), but he passes them up, and doesn't actively look for his shot.

I'm with the people talking about Livers. Last game he had back-to-back boneheaded plays, and he didn't seem concerned, which makes me concerned.

He has to bring it, or he's next on the chopping block. Weaver has a way about him, and he'll ship Livers without blinking.

Dwane Casey says Rodney McGruder and Killian Hayes are out tonight and James Wiseman is getting treatment so he’ll be a gametime decision.

If we are going to run out line ups like this we might as well sit Ivey too. He isn’t gaining anything out there.

Pistons on the comeback, make it look good boys, then get that loss at the end. We are almost done with this tank, just finish and try to get the worst record if possible. Just think about Summer league if we were to get Wemby

Does anyone else think Matisse Thybulle looks a little like Adam Scott?

I keep zoning out, despite staring at the screen, but Livers went to the hole aggressively, and delivered. He's been a good defender, just not aggressive on the offensive end, so I hope he takes advantage of the extra playing time.
