Pistons vs Lolcats 7pm, Knight Probable!

BK7 is probable for Pistons vs CHA tonight


It looks like Knight is playing tonight. Also on Drummond:

Frank: "We're going to have to take it slow". "You don't get to this level (being) conservative with it, and then all of sudden you're going to try to go from zero to 60 (m.p.h.) too quickly.

"He continues to do more. He's working very, very hard. He wants to get back on the court, but he wants to build it up."

"We'll just read it," "Our expectation and plan is that we're hopeful that we'll get him back at some point, and yet at the same time is it definitive? No. He's moving in the right direction that leads us all to believe that he's going to have a chance to come back."


Ellis also said Drummond has been dunking for several days now.

It sounds to me like he is fully healed and ready to go, but they are just at that stage of being extra cautious and want to wait a little longer until they feel 110% comfortable. But its good to hear that they all believe he can come back this year.

Anyways, its good that Knight is back tonight, as it should be make this game at least somewhat watchable

We were a lock to win tonight anyways. They're bringing back Knight slow - after the Miami game, on the back end of a back-to-back, with easy schedule the rest of the way out.

I think Drummond will be back in the next couple of games as well - IIRC Charlotte bigs caused him problems last time they played. Probably wait until Love-less Minnesota or Toronto to bring him back or wait until the 4 game roadie to bring him back off the bench and then have him start the last string of home games.

Charlotte won 2 straight, we lost 10 straight, its a back to back for the Pistons, Charlotte had 2 days off.
The Pistons just have 8 road wins, this is not a sure thing, another loss is possible! :P

yeah, we have had trouble with CHA this year. This is not an easy win by any means, imo.

iirc they beat us at home when we were playing really good. Now we are playing really bad and playing them on the road, where we are terrible.

I think the streak is snapped tonight and then we don't win again until April 10th vs Cleveland.

Id rather not have Knight or Drummond play unless they are 100%. It's not worth risking any long term injury. This season is lost and Frank has shown no willingness to play the rooks. I for the life of me can't figure out why Maxiell is still starting.

So embarrassing...almost as embarrassing as playing their starting lineup full court press from the tip off in the summer league vs......the sacremento kings.

I wish it was straight up Knight v Kember, he is going to destroy Calderon.
