Casey beat Covid just to face the Raps. That's determination.

Actually the Pistons have beaten the Jazz and Bucks at full strength (or almost full strength) recently. Sadiq Bey is on a heater and Cade is finally flashing the off the dribble game people were expecting but didn't get due to injury (I'm not a huge Cade fan but he is definitely producing.)

This will be a tough game. We HAVE to go more man and less trap or we'll get destroyed again!

I want to destroy the Pistons so badly. They need to win this game for Nick Nurse. We could not even beat them in our championship season due to unforeseen circumstances like injuries and resting players.

It is annoying how Casey get's his team ready to face us but then they go on massive losing streaks. Been a recurring theme for years

Quite the opposite Casey will make it really tough for us, he's gonna shorten his bench play the starter 40 minutes and play physical as possible. This is his playoffs make no bones about it.


This.

A loss is very possible.


He knew how to expose our defence before. We’ve changed how we play since then. He can play the starters all 48 minutes, won’t make a difference lol.

don't be overconfident. This will be tougher than it appears. Cade is playing better, too.

Almost 48 hrs before tip off and no more first page real estate. We really get up for Pistons games, and we're probably the only opposing fan base that does.

I wonder what Casey is doing right now? They're probably spending today and the entire day tomorrow to prepare for the game. I can't believe he convinced the NBA to allow him to come back early from Covid so he can face us. I already put down $500 on Pistons ML and can see an easy blowout L. I can see Nurse already looking pass this game and accepting the loss so the team can look forward to preparing for Saturday's game in Milwaukee.

Casey mad Nurse was "at the right place at the right time" and proofing that out by turning Bey and Diallo into the new Siakam and OG.

Let's have one season where we don't account for 20% of Casey's wins. Please.

Casey has cleared protocols and the Pistons believe his result was a false positive. He should be back.


A Yahoo article said:

Kalamian has already filled in for Casey four times over the past month, as Casey missed road games due to what the team termed personal reasons. The team is 0-4 in those contests.


I didn't know that, wonder what personal reasons were? (I know it's private just curious)

Anyway I was going to post, can Casey still own the Raps from protocols, but seems he'll be there after all.
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.
