Jalen Williams (hip) is out. Chet Holmgren (rest) is out. Aaron Wiggins (illness) is questionable.

This is not a cupcake team. I repeat, this is not a cupcake team

[Cowology]

I think we win this one at home. Cade vs SGA - lets **** go.

[GreekAlex]

Winning today would definitely take the sting out of the Washington loss.

Winning today would definitely take the sting out of the Washington loss.

I hate that loss as much as the next guy, but it almost seems like a right of passage for young, upcoming teams, to lose a game, they absolutely have no business losing.

Your also 100% correct. Beat OKC, and the memory of the Wiz loss, will be lost, like tears, in rain.

Maybe we were just saving our energy for this one. Hope it's a good game

[Kalamazoo317]

We'll have to get on a heater from three to take this one, I think, but we're capable (and due).

[zeebneeb]

The Pistons matchups against the top 6 teams in the west have gone poorly, so I am honestly unsure how this team, not the one from December, or January, will perform.

Denver-0-2
Memphis-01
Houston-1-1
Warriors-02
Lakers-2-0
OKC-0-0

3-6 so far. I'm hoping for a competitive game.

[MortSahlfan]

I hope the Pistons don't shoot too many 3's. We win with paint points, fast breaks, dunks. Need the defense.

[MortSahlfan]

Let SGA shoot outside shots every time. If he beats us with contested 3's, oh well. It's his weakness. Stagnate their offense. And then if you must, double-team in the 2nd half, and his teammates won't be in rhythm.

[Cowology]

OKC being very active defensively and SGA making our defense look paltry.

[Cowology]

Hartenstein was such a good pickup for them. Nasty 1-2 with a healthy Chet and a solid stand-in when he's out.

[zeebneeb]

Pistons have to be far, far more physical with this OKC team. I am unsure why they are playing so soft atm, but that has to change.

[GreekAlex]

I’ll definitely take a 1 point deficit after the way we played that quarter

[zeebneeb]

That was much better. Stew came in, refs know he is one of the top defenders, and SGA, much like Cade isn't explosive, he needs a runway.

Ferocious block by Stew.

[Cowology]

Where the Tobias haters at??

This dude has been our 2nd best player for the past 2 months.

[MortSahlfan]

16-1 run. Keep defending, go to the hoop and we win this game.

[MotownMadness]

Stewart is a defensive force

[Absolutia]

Pistons motoring now.
