RJ Hampton (low back spasms) has been upgraded to available for Tuesday’s game against Atlanta. Isaiah Livers (right hip soreness) is out.

Let's get this God forsaken tank over with and get to the draft lottery. Come on Sadiq, we wish we had a young stud like you. Hawks got that stud like, mid first round, didn't they?

I watch this Hawks team, and its bloated payroll for a tiny, no defense gaurd, and very expensive role players, and I'm perfectly happy where the Pistons are at.

The Hawks are the definition of purgatory.

Washington has to be in there somewhere. They basically have to pay Kuzma this summer (no way he opts in at $13 million) and then Porzingis soon to not make paying Beal look ridiculous. Even though it will eventually (maybe already did) force them into being a consistent right around 41-41 team

They were a young up and coming team that made the conference finals two years ago but they then paid their guys and they haven't been nearly as good since.

They also made some downright stupid trades as well, let's not forget that.

I am still shocked they moved Huerter, and then paid Bogdon who is 6 years older, more. I mean, alrighty then.

The problem is that they hitched their wagon to a tiny PG. It is exceedingly rare for a team to win a title with a gaurd his size.

Everytime heavily maligned Pistons have a great game, it makes me smile. Nice, broad smile.

All that has mattered all season is when the Pistons will pick in the draft unfortunately.

People here thinking Killian is having a good game going 6-15 from the floor with 3 assists and 3 TOs (-28) just shows you how horrible he really is... This is a "good" game for Killian but its still a well below average game for an nba player.

He just did a bunch of fancy dribbling and went no where with it and threw it to CoJo with 1 second on the clock with is basically turning it over but won't be counted as such... just a low IQ wasted possession.

So his 14 pts 10 assist over the last 5 games is bad? Sounds like exactly what we need running the bench next year, mover mind that he is arguably our best defender.

Yes this month he's shooting 9% from deep and is a high usage player taking a lot of shots with horrible league worst efficiency that's exactly what we need.

And 4 of the 5 starters are -20 or more. Killian is shooting 40 percent, Ivey shooting 23 percent, yet no mention on that?

Everyone knows Ivey is having a poor game... but people are posting here like Killian is having a good game.... and it is a good game for Killian.... but its not a good game for an average NBA player. That's the only point that is being made, and it just shows how low the bar is for Killian if 40% shooting and 3 assists and 3 TOs is considered a good game for him.

I see, but how come you don't mention how many 3 point shots he takes a game? You seem to cherry pick stats, which clearly shows your bias. You shouldn't need to cherry pick.

The other day you came out with an argument against Wiseman and added in your argument that Wiseman is much older than Duren. He is 21 years old, and what you left out was that Wiseman has played fewer minutes in the NBA than Duren. You actually claimed age as a factor when Wiseman is 21 years old as if him being a few years older than the youngest guy In the league is more meaningful that mentioning he had played fewer minutes than Duren when we got him.

12 pts a game, 7 or 8 assists per game along with being the best defender on the team is exactly what we need from Killian next year leading the bench. Somehow I think his defense alone is more important than him taking and missing 3 or 4 three pointers a game. His assists and Pg skills are easily enough to want him running the Pg position off the bench next year.
