will players rest or no? i believe the cavs have already said they're resting starters so maybe we should as well, not give them anymore useful tape. i doubt reggie plays regardless.

let's finish 3 games above .500!

go pistons!

Definitely rest, we can't risk injury in a meaningless game. Plus if we did manage to lose to their bench it could kill our confidence

none of our starters should play. this game is BEYOND meaningless

Feed Bullock and Stanley. Hopefully at least one of them can get hot or gain confidence heading into the series. We'll need Bullock's shooting if we want to have a bench in the playoffs this year, and unless Stanley finally has a good game, SVG might not be very confident keeping him in the rotation.

Should givet He bench guys as much notes as possible. No need to risk injuries or tire out our starters

If Stan is going to use Meeks in the playoffs,he should let him get as many minutes as he can tomorrow so he at least can shake some rust off.

I wish they could agree to cancel this game. Playing a meaningless game against the team you are about to go into a 7-game series against is just awkward. We shouldn't even try to score - just make sure our players remain at least 10 feet away from Dellavedova.

Does a win drop us a draft spot?

Give our bench guys a ton of minutes, see if they can get into some kind of rhythm.

Lol that ship sailed a long time ago, Meeks will not play in the playoffs.

Pistons need a stronger bench. Give them the experience of a complete game starting as it may help them with gametime experience for the playoffs.

Yeah, we definitely should rest the starters and get some burn to whoever would benefit.

We should lose. It might mean 3 spots in the draft.

Just came to post this. This is actually a game we need to lose tonight as 3 spots could be the difference of landing Skal, Valentine or Davis for us. A win here would just hurt us so hopefully SVG has thought that through a bit.

If Drummond gets 5 offensive boards tonight it will be his 3rd straight season of 400+ offensive rebounds.

He better play.
