#Pistons F/C Isaiah Stewart is questionable for tomorrow’s game against the #Bucks. Cade Cunningham (left knee strain) & Monte Morris (right quad strain) have been upgraded to doubtful. Giannis Antetokounmpo is probable. Looks like Morris is close to making his season debut.

stewart is playing, cade and morris still out as expected.

i don't love stewart in the starting lineup but it will definitely help to have him on giannis, pretty much no one else on the roster can put up any kind of resistance against him.

Got to love these possessions where Killian, Bojan, and Stew pass it around to each other and display their inability to get any sort of advantage with the ball while Ivey is camped out in the opposite corner.

Lots of mistakes on our part but we're playing hard.

They are still making some mistakes here and there, but they are getting better. You can see some of the chemistry developing as they are making reads that they certainly didn't make earlier in the season.

First game I've watched in a while. I'm entertained, that's all I can ask for.

I wish Sasser would play like that every game.

I don't understand why we're still going for the 2 C's lineup, even with Stewart playing with the 2nd unit as he should be.

Refs have been terrible but Sasser looking good. Great mins from Fouling Gallinari. Three from Muscala!

Its amazing when you have an actual pro out there, setting screens, blocking shots, and hitting threes.

Its sad Musky looks this good.

This is finally a rotation of NBA players, mostly. Add Cade and Morris, and no minutes for Killian and Knox, and we'll be competitive every game.

Ivey was brutal on both sides of the floor.

As soon as Killian Hayes was back into the game Milwaukee went into a 10-2 run and took the lead.

It's crazy how Lillard gets all these soft calls

I've noticed this strange and totally unexplainable phenomenon.. When Cade was playing with Ivey in the starting lineup and Killian was coming off the bench, the bench was coming in and totally tanking winnable games. Now that Cade is out and Killian is starting, the bench is doing really well and the starters are struggling.

I guess we'll never know why!!

Sasser is way better than Hayes.

Will coach stick with Sasser the rest of the way or will Killian be back that's the question.

Sasser + Burks + Amen + Stew + one of the new guys is a pretty solid bench.
