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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

Where the Tobias haters at??

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

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

Stewart is a defensive force

Pistons motoring now.
