Game 79: Pistons (35-43) @ Rockets (53-25) - 8 PM EST 

Post#1 » by whitehops » Fri Apr 7, 2017 1:26 am

we're officially mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, we're going to be playing bench guys like ellenson and boban (gbinijie is dealing with an illness) so that's cool.

houston is pretty much locked into the third seed in the west so it's going to be interesting to see if they rest anyone.

remember guys - there's only four pistons games left this season, it's going to be a long ass offseason so enjoy the last few games while you can.



go pistons!

Most interesting thing from the Rockets side might be Harden and the MVP race.

Excited to see our young guys

I wanted to see Ellenson get some run, but I'm surprised that SVG is starting him. Not a big deal.

What's the over under on Ellenson's scoring tonight if he plays 24 minutes? I'd put it at 12.5 points.

I wonder if Ellenson will end up having the most attempts this game. Him or Ish?

I wish we would pass the ball like Houston does... I like Ellenson's shooting so far though!
