Tough game. 2nd night of B2B. No Zeller to help with Drummond. Hopefully we can build on some momentum created from last night's big win.

Third game in four days, second of a B2B with DET having a day off with no travel. Fortunately DET is 2-8 in their last 10, and those two wins were against (1) MIA playing without Winslow, Dragic, or Whiteside, and (2) CLE playing without LeBron.

Drummond will have more rebounds tonight than Hibbert and Hawes have had combined the past month.

Strategically, Clifford should use Hawes extensively to keep Drummond out of the paint. We'll see what the game plan is tonight

This is the second time we have had to face Detroit on a B2B when they did not have a game the day before. Lame.

Hawes = 13
Roy = 47

Drummond needs 61 tonight.

Had to you sad combined past two weeks, we might have had a chance.

I be around. I lurk and read the game threads and player thread discussions almost daily. After witnessing the 7-59 season all the way up to this point it's kind of difficult to just walk away

I don't know what to post about anymore since there isn't a lot to complain about, so its mostly just some roster discussion and posting random nonsense about Marco and Hawes in the game threads.

Don't like our chances drummond gives us troubles and Roy is no match. 3rd in 4 days. We are small dogs but I could see us getting curbed

Hurry up and commit your 2nd foul Roy. Foul trouble is our friend.

Roy got 2 fouls early in the 1st quarter and Clifford still riding it out. Don't want to disrupt those robo rotations.

Marvin looks awesome. I'm on the fence with hibbert, I can see a lot value in his rim protection. But he is just a bad offensive player like rescreening or moving around in general.
