The Pistons haven't been good for a while, the shine has worn off. It's been a very successful season but I think a win or two in the playoffs is the best we can expect from this group.

We'll be fine. Once Tobias gets back.

A slightly concerning performance.

Even without Tobias, Fontecchio only got 4 minutes.

Looks like he’ll be phased out of the playoff rotation barring injury.


It's a real bummer he just couldn't get back to what he was end of last season. Oh well.


He'd be a really nice #1/#2 option off the bench along with Beasley if he were at the level he was last season. Really the only real let down this season other than the Ivey injury. Everywhere else we've been seeing progress and improvements.

I love Ausar, but tired of him throwing up his hands almost every time he's called for a foul or misses a shot.

Game perfectly illustrated why Trajan has to find a 2nd star to pair with Cade this summer. Pistons didn't have enough fire power (had Tobias been available perhaps it would've been more a competitive game). Pistons could use a power forward upgrade.

These games show why we need Ivey back. We have no secondary scorer in the starting lineup at all.

Our defense just wasn't up to it. The amount of open looks LaVine had when he was on a heater was ridiculous.

Rod Beard: Friday’s #Pistons-#Bucks game (Detroit’s home finale) has been moved to NBA-TV. It’s a big matchup for the 5 and 6 seeds in the East.

Who would own the tiebreaker if the Pistons and Bucks end with the same record?

You guys would own it. Scenarios left.

Det loses to NYK & Bucks beat NO Bucks are the 5 seed.

Det beats NYK(NO/Bucks game no longer matters). Det would need to sweep both games against the Bucks to get the 5 seed. Bucks would need to win 1 of the DET games for the 5 seed.

I squandered an asset? Then Hammond taught me well.
