No one has started a game thread yet, so I figured I would! 2nd night of a back to back, so this is probably a lose, but I heard that Tobias is starting(?), so MAYBE NOT!

Go Pistons!

I would've preferred if Stanley was starting, because I really like Tobias' offensive burst off the bench, but our starting lineup has been terrible offensively, so I'll take it.

Of course, on the first play no one moves, Reggie dribbles the air out of the ball and we get a shot clock violation...

Take bron out, he needs rest for Playoffs

There's seriously like 0 movement on offense right now. What are we doing? Is this some weird protest against Reggie/Andre? Tobias, KCP and Morris are just standing around.

Anyone hear if this was situational/a matchup decision, or is SVG just looking to change things?

Ish and Stanley in early. Wonder if maybe they'll also get a chance at starting sometime soon.

pistons gotta stop switching guys on kyrie when cavs sets picks keep kcp on him at all times

Ish can't guard Kyrie

Absolutely horrible display by the Pistons.

Also (unrelated) I hate how refs call T's for hanging on the rim. If a player makes an awesome dunk, I think they're entitled to hang on the rim. I hate how the NBA is trying to remove all passion/emotion from the game. No hanging on the rim, no trash talking, no staring players down. I hate it.

Getting the 8th seed would be the worst result, and make the season meaningless. So of course that's what will happen.

CLE might as well be playing against 8th graders. LOL.

A 3% chance at a top 3 pick is a lot better than getting swept in the 1st round, imo.

Guess we will be tied 8th-10th after this game.

I think our easy schedule to end the season won't allow us to tank

Ish Smith!
