Hoping we see the starting lineup tonight, even just as a taste. Ivey being held out of practice is worrying though.

Unsure whats going on there with his recovery.

You gotta hope with Ivey that it’s just conditioning. Coming back from a long term injury is hard.

We need him.

Ivey just had surgery and will be re-evaluated in 4 weeks.

Wtf?! Dude plays one preseason game and now misses a month. I’ve been a big Ivey guy but this is really disappointing

The fact that they aren’t going to look at it until a revaluation in 4 weeks makes me think he is likely to be out at least 6-8 weeks when you consider ramp up time to NBA ready speed. That’s probably best case.

Brutal. Ivey has had an extremely rough start to his nba career.

looks like caris will play this game hopefully they closeout the preseason with a win at home.

What a great fast break. Duren with (another) steal, nice pass to Cade, nice pass to Ausar, nice lay-up. No need to let it hit the floor. Space and react quickly. I'm liking what i see so far.

Man this is gonna be an amazing season. Cade looks ridiculous, and Duren looks aggressive as HELL. Big lineup! Love it.

Stew and Duren playing together out there... I wonder if we'll see that opening night against the Bulls as well. The Bulls play a quicker perimeter forwards as starters most likely but Stew could certainly keep up with Patrick Williams on their 2nd unit.

Cade is amazing. And Duren is abusing Sarr, grown man stuff!

Also interesting that Harris/Ausar came out early and then they come back in for Cade/Duren.

JB might want the Harris/Ausar combo in when Cade is out 10-12 minutes each night.

Who the hell is Dennis Jenkins

Walk with me… Jenkins starts next to Cade

All I know, is that im prepping to watch what could be one of, if not the best season by a Piston player ever. Cade has just looked locked in. Its go time.

I actually think Cade has a chance to cement himself into that 2nd tier behind only Giannis, SGA, an Jokic this season. Just marginally improve in a few areas this season and win 50 games as a team and he'll be considered a top 10 player like what happened with Anthony Edwards over the past two seasons.

The dennis we needed, but not the one we deserved

Duren has looked amazing. Stout defense. Rim protection. Agressive as hell. Love it. Cade casually picking up 12 assists, to 2 turns.

Wednesday. Season starts, in Chicago. BTW, I cannot remember the last time, the Pistons opened up the season with two road games, one in freaking Texas. Am I wrong?

Chaz Lanier is going to have a long, long NBA career. He is NBA ready, right now, and is not only accurate from three, but is fast as hell with it.

I think he actually gets minutes, right off the bat. His shooting is a special skill. Not a ton, but some.
