For those not in the area, you can watch it on NBA TV.

I just saw Dallas play GS... This would be a nice win.

Only NBA game tonight... good chance to showcase our ineptitude.

I don't have anything going on. I'll be watching.

Pistons' Jaden Ivey: Listed questionable Thursday

With both Cade and Ivey out I don't see a reason to watch this terrible team to be honest. All other pieces other than Bojan and Duren (and Stewart who's a fine first big off the bench) are borderline NBA caliber players and won't make any difference in the long run.

I didn't know that.. I wonder if the players do and I wonder if they'll play harder. That's most of our problems - defense. And on offense, Casey keeps saying - don't hold the ball, and says they try to have this .5 second - being decisive.

I was just watching the Blazer pre-game interview with Jerami Grant. They asked him how he was doing so well, and said, "Well, this team moves the ball, and they make it easy for me" and he's back to his efficient days he had WITHOUT us, except he's scoring more, and is the #2 guy, and has led them with Dame out.

Why in the world is this the only game tonight?

Perfect showcase of the Pistons ineptitude. All eyes on the team.

Besides that, has there been any word on Cade? All I've seen are articles saying it's up to him what he wants to do, whatever that means.

Getting harder, and harder to watch games, especially without Ivey. Oh well, it is what it is.

Ivey needs to get back and quick because my interest is waning more and more with every game.

If no Ivey then im not very interested. Ive fallen asleep every game he's been out so far

I’m convinced at this point that you’re not really a fan of the Pistons. And that exposure to sunlight may turn you into a pillar of salt.

Oh wait—you already are a pillar of saltiness. Just kidding.

Or am I?

Ivey is back tonight. Is that reason enough to turn on this mess?

I've been up since 4:45am, but learning about this made me happy.

Does this officially mean my life is over?

I'm watching Bookers 51 point game from the other night, and for my interest to be held for the Pistons game its either got to be tight as hell, or Ivey has his break-out rookie game.

Watching how two good teams play, exposes just how far this Pistons team has to go. Both teams have an under the rim relief valve, that I see at times when Duren makes a move, and it adds massive value to the offense.

*sigh* Just being a decent team(35-42 wins)seems so far away right now, it's depressing.

That will do

Yeah, its official. Hayes testicles have dropped. He is consistently looking for his shot, and passing well.

Team playing well, but they have got to offer Luka more resistance or its gonna get ugly, really damn fast.

Cade being out has been a good thing for Killian as hes stepped up

Ivey driving to the rim for a score or a dish is special

Shoot 70%, score 36 in the 1st, tied. Our defense in a nutshell.

Yeah, that's what his knack is. He starts finishing at a high clip, he's going to be an all-star quickly.

As it stands, he gets stuck, and sometimes makes ghastly decisions with the ball.

I still worry about the fit with Cade, but with Cade being out indefinitely, go Ivey!
