I hope Luke and Stanley combine for 50 points

I'd take the odds of Donovan Mitchell scoring 50 before I'd take the combination SJ & Kennard.

Well you heard it here first, Stanley IS going to have a breakout game and atleast hit more than one jumpshot. Luke will set the pistons record for most threes made in a single game.

Reggie Bullock (thumb) will be available to play on Wednesday, but head coach Stan Van Gundy said it's unlikely he'll actually get out there.

Van Gundy was recently quoted saying he's looking to give more minutes to Luke Kennard, so Kennard could the guy that replaces Bullock in the starting five tonight, as could Stanley Johnson or Anthony Tolliver. That said, none of these guys will make for very attractive fantasy options with a tough matchup against Utah.

This is officially make or break time for this team from now to the deadline. Either they fall flat on they're faces still or right the ship and stay in the playoffs. They are 9th right now but that doesn't really mean much with such little game separation they have between 9th and 4th really.

We have a lot of home games left too so it would be just pathetic to stay on this path

I've NEVER been that guy to be a hater and hope for losses... But it actually may be best for the Pistons to completely tailspin the rest of the year so we can move on from SVG and his pg fetish/pg failure pattern that follows his career.
Philly already surpassed them, now it's time for Donovan Mitchell to put a nail in the coffin of van Gundys "just add shooting" executive strategy.

Yup, a loss here would be lovely but i think this is a win for the Pistons.

Utah has always seemed to have Detroit's number.

During the last 12 years, Detroit is 4-18 against the Jazz. Which includes an 11 game losing streak that took place primarily during the "going to work" era.

[DETermination]

Langston starting at pg. Maybe we are tanking? lol

Stanley starting also

So...

Galloway
Bradley
Stanley
Harris
Drummond


Well that will be interesting on the offensive side of the ball.

[russkopp]

I hope Mitchell murders us then stares down SVG as he walks off the court. Meanwhile, SVG’s phone rings and it says “boss man” and SVG thinks he’s receiving a call from the GM...himself. But it’s actually Gores and SVG is fired.

Perfect.

[DETermination]

I really hope Avery is in a different uniform soon

[MotownMadness]

Drummond whether luck or not seems to convert good on those face up drives

[DETermination]

Stanley for three!

[thesack12]

Stanley for 3, thats a good sign

[MotownMadness]

Stanley is finally feeling confident and more free with SVG being desperate and looking for anything now

[DETermination]

Avery has already gotten blocked once nearly turned it over twice and 0-4 from the field

Can't stand him, not at all the player I thought he was
