1 hour til tipoff and still no game thread. I guess that beatdown from Toronto and losing 11 straight is going to have some people taking a break from the team.

Hayes is probable, and Livers and Duren are questionable for tonight.

The Nuggets will be without Jamal Murray.

I used to post them when I woke up around 4am, but some would post another thread, so they can have it if it means so much.. I just like some conversation before the game starts, especially since I usually watch the game the following day, except those Sunday games, where we seem to lose them all for the last handful of years.

I hope as many guys as possible are back. It's time to start.

Monty Williams says Isaiah Livers will play today, but he’ll be on a minutes restriction.
Jalen Duren has been upgraded to “questionable” after missing four games with right ankle injury management. Killian Hayes has been upgraded to “probable” after missing yesterday’s game with a left shoulder sprain.

Whether the Pistons show up or not is questionable.

I am curious to see how the team reacts to being called out by Monty and Cade.

Questionable before tip off without word from Monty means Dureń isn’t playing

Still NOTHING from Bojan or Morris.

Which tells me they aren’t close. That’s really rough. IMO both of them need to start.

Bojan, Duren, Morris, and Harris listed as out.

Guess everyone else can go.

Jaden Ivey has been upgraded from doghouse to naughty step.

Good start for Ivey and Ausar.

Ausar with a really impressive straight up block on MPJ.... Crazy but Ausar actually gets decent respect from the refs for a rookie. Overall a great start for the team ZERO TOs and ZERO 3 pt attempts but we're scoring inside at a good clip.

Ok, the team decided they want to play today. Cade is playing good defense and Stew already got under the Joker skin.

Livers have been practicing, he might be back soon, the others are still going to take at least a couple of weeks I think.

Maybe the callout worked. Takes time to change that loser mentality.

I don't know. Just thinking out loud.

Yeah he's making his debute tonight. Nice.

Jokic frustrated early is good for us... especially with Murray out.

After what Cade said they should come out with fire and win this one well I guess I can dream

James Wiseman is just a terrible basketball player. Good grief. Basic screens befuddle him.

I enjoyed that.

Livers ready to shoot.

We're not winning this, but if we put a good fight and don't lose by double digits that's a start.
