Game 81: Pistons (37-43) vs. Wizards (48-32) - 8 PM EST *LAST GAME AT THE PALACE*

last game at the palace! it's been the pistons' home since 1988.

the wizards are locked into the fourth seed so it's yet to be seen how they play in terms of resting guys. beno tweaked something last game so he's likely out, SVG said hilliard and SJ will take over backup PG duties. EDIT: we cut beno and signed lorenzo brown so he'll be backup.

john wall and otto porter are game-time calls.

go pistons!

We'll win because we are a joke of a franchise right now. 3 game win streak against 3 great teams when it means nothing.. **** this.

we cut beno because he sprained his knee and we signed lorenzo brown to be backup PG for the next two games... maybe it's an audition for him to be the third string PG next season?

Well everybody wanted to play the young guys. What did you expect lol. Everyone said let's tank let's tank. We were better off trying to win with our starters cause we were essentially tanking lol

Brown will probably drain 10 3's and score 50pts tonight hahahaha

Really well-done arena. Has stood the test of time impressively. Sad because it has more life in it (unlike the Joe), but it's a good move.

What is with SVG and Lorenzo Brown at the end of seasons? He couldn't even beat out Ray McCallum, who was then waived in favor of Beno... Who was waived in favor of Brown...

Now I get it

Edit: SVG after learning that he missed the waiver deadline for Udrih:

We already won three games in a row that were meaningless might as well send the Palace off with a victory

Ill be severely disappointed if they dont come out strong and blow the Wizards out

So many great memories, so many bull years under Dumars lol!

double EDIT: the deadline to waive players (and sign players?) was yesterday so we couldn't cut beno or pick up lorenzo brown.

hilliard/SJ backup point guards it is!

Boban to play backup point guard

Almost surprised they aren't bringing back Reggie for two games with no other PG on the roster but Stan must really not want to see him play if he's going into the game with just Ish.

Did we seriously just cut Beno days before the end of the season? FFS SVG

Nothing wrong with trying to cut beno to get another pg on the team, if beno cant play.

I hope Beno goes to a good team. Go out west, not the Cavs please.

John Wall and Otto Porter are out, so this is going to be a W :banghead:

The Moose · Post #18 » by **The Moose** » Tue Apr 11, 2017 12:14 am

Henry with a rebound already this dude can do it all

I laugh and cry everytime I see Andre fail trying to backdown someone half his size only to force up some ugly contesed hook shot
