I honestly can't believe what im watching in Detroit right now. There's no way this continues.

Right?

Why are the Cavs resting their starting lineup so early in the season

Two-way contract beast Daniss Jenkins with a smooth 16 and 7, 1 turnover at the half.

Pistons back half of roster up 16.

Also isn’t there supposed to be a rule about resting all-stars on the road?
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

schedule matters. it seems that in the era of parity, if one team is on a b2b while the other isn't (provided they aren't bottom feeders), they'll most likely lose

History has shown when one team sits so many starters, the opponent can have a let down. One, because no one playing is on the scouting report.

Unless, the team is the Nets, of course. Those Detroit players are using tonight to earn future playing time and good for them.

Man the Pistons are just fun, head to toe. Even our 3rd string players are playing well or at the very least interesting to watch.

Enjoy it. It wasn't long ago that you guys lost 28 in a row... that's the amazing thing about this group. What a turnaround.

They’re doing this with Jalen Williams, who is a top 10 player imo
