Game 14: Pistons @ Raptors

topsearch92 · Post #1 » by **topsearch92** » Sun Nov 19, 2023 5:20 pm

Pistons (2-11) take on Raptors (5-7) at 4:00 11/19/23
Spread of 8.5 favoring Raptors
Detroit is on 10 game losing streak while Toronto is 2-3 the last 5 games
Leading scorer Cade Cunningham at 21.2 points vs Scottie Barnes at 20.3 points
Leading Rebounder Duren is out. Ausar at 10.3 RPG. Scottie again for the Raptors at 9.1 RPG
Cade with 7.4 assists/4.9 TOPG per game vs Dennis Schroder 7.3 APG/1.9TOPG

Injuries: Pistons: Duren, Harris, Morris, Livers OUT, Hayes questionable due to sprained shoulder. Raptors:Young, Kolko Out, Anunoby (finger) probable, Freeman-Liberty (ankle) doubtful

Can Cade hold onto the ball. Will Ivey get close to 30 minutes again after playing 29 the last game. Does Ausar break outta the doghouse (season high 5 turnovers vs Cavs with no steals or blocks) and have some fun defending Scottie and Pascal?

Wait. I just realize with Killian out I'll likely have to watch 30+ minutes of this ****

Thanks goodness!!!! Now we can finally start with our future 1 and 2. Damn, I'm mad an injury forced this. Would have loved to see Hayes running backup point.

Is there a listed starting lineup?

Mr Peanut · Post #13 » by **Mr Peanut** » Sun Nov 19, 2023 8:56 pm

Ivey starting. This is his chance to really show out and guarantee his spot in the first five.

The matchup to look forwards today is Barnes vs Ausar.

Ausar can easily keep with Barnes, but how will he handle Barnes strength?

Tbh our offense is actually worse than yours. This game is probably a flip of the coin on who wins.

This team has some of the strangest start times.

Mr Peanut · Post #16 » by **Mr Peanut** » Sun Nov 19, 2023 9:25 pm

Team decision to not guard Schroeder clearly.

Three consecutive layups Cade doesn't finish.

I don't think it can get much worse than this.

Well we really don’t like any better without Killian so far.

This team has categorically failed to put a quality product on the floor year after year.

Any other business on earth would have lost my loyalty years ago. I prefer Pepsi. But if they suddenly started using saltwater to make their product resulting in a terrible flavor I’d switch to Coke or RC right away.

Sports teams cast a spell where it’s considered virtuous to remain loyal to an organization that doesn’t deliver. Other businesses do not function that way- they actually have to give you what they are supposed to deliver.

Am I going anywhere with this rant? Not really. But it does make one think.
