All things being equal, the Pistons should stomp a hole in this teams ass.

With that said, as we all know, Utah has magical powers over the Pistons, so this is a loss.

All-time 109 games. Utah leads 72-37. Pistons have won three times in Utah, since 2003. 22 years, 3 wins, in Utah.

Ridiculous.

Tobias Harris is out for personal reasons tonight. I hope it somehow manifests in big minutes for Klintman

Man, we really need to finally get one over on this team ... hoping Cade has a "get right" game. He's been struggling a bit.

Yeah, I'm guessing either he or Beasley starts.

I'm actually surprised it's 3 games.

I really, really want to see how Klintman plays with the guys out there. Not with the end of bench guys.

His size/skillset is tantalizing as hell. Maybe he'll get a few more minutes tonight.

I'm checking out the league schedule right now, and there are some massive games coming up for the teams directly in front of the Pistons, so if they take care of business, they will start moving up. This though, is ridiculous. The Pistons are winners of 9 of their last ten games, and have been stuck at 6. Here's why;

TEAM. LAST 10. STREAK
CAVS. 10-0. W10
CELTS. 7-3. W1
KNICKS. 7-3. W3
BUCKS. 7-3. W2
PACERS. 6-4. W1
STONES. 9-1. W1

Even if the Pistons beat Denver, they would still be @6. Sheesh.

Anyway;

Tues is Rockets @ Pacers, Bucks @ Hawks

Wed is Mavs @ Bucks

Thurs is Pacers @ Hawks

Sat is Pacers @ Hawks, Magic @ Bucks

If the Pistons beat Utah, and the Clip, they could be tied with the 4th/5th seed before Sat game against the Warriors.

The top 6 of the East, are all winning at the same time. Absurd.

In fairness, our record is a pretty reasonable one for a 6 seed. I think before we got hot it was kind of wild that we had the 6th seed with the record we had 10-15 games ago.

The east as a whole is playing better which in general is a good thing for the league.

Welp, here we go. Utah may as well be a prison colony for the Pistons. Brutal.

I cannot wait until next season. He has been fine, but man, he is obviously the weakest link in the starting group.

Cade
Ivey
Ausar
Harris/New high end player maybe?
Duren

Ivey is such an upgrade to THJ is ridiculous. I'm still sore at Cole Anthony.

Good to see us continue to stand on business. Lots of time left obviously, but we've been respecting our opponents and showing up every night. This is a very mature young team.

He's the modern version of Binary Man Michael Curry.

Duren is turning into an absolute animal. Also, Utah on pace to turn the ball over 40 times.

That was a slick inbound beasley was just short on the shot. JB runs some interesting plays at times.
