This is kinda a must win imo.

Griffin will give Isaac fits and potentially get him in foul trouble early.

I feel like the outcome of this game will solely be dependent on bench play.

Fultz and Isaac are about to drop 20 each but I agree the bench will need to be up for it tonight if we want to win. Also I'm worried about Birch/Bamba vs Drummond

Hard to call "must win" this early, and when you're down 2 key players, but this is as close to a must win as you can get in this spot IMO.

We're giving up a lot of size to Drummond with Birch in at Center, and a lot of muscle when Bamba is in. This could be a huge offensive rebounding game for Drummond if we don't come really focused on keeping him off the glass as best as we can as a team, not just as an individual.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

In this game, all I ask is this; bench the player that is negatively effecting the game, allow the hot hand player more minutes and don’t sub them out during a scoring run, call momentum killing timeout on the opponents when they are on a scoring run, guard your man, play hard.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.-John 3:16

Go Magic, Go Dwight, Go Vuc, Go Paolo, Go Keegan :)

Khem Birch is going to get tested tonight. Also looking forward to JI on Griffin who’s a great offensive player as we all know.

I'm always impressed by how empty the Detroit arena always is.

Isaac got fouled on that drive. Nice start for Fultz.

I am just such a fan of Fultz.

Outside of deep shooting, he does everything reasonably well to very well.

We're probably over .500 if Fultz didn't have a minute restriction. Even without Vuc and AG.
