Pistons are +3 or +135 on money line. What am I missing? Who needs the three points? Money line is the bet.

Excited to see what Patrick Williams looks like after Weaver supposedly was trying to trade up to draft him. Wondering how he looked compared to Bey. Hopefully the two are matched up on each other.

No Sekou today so I guess we will see Bey playing the 4 when Grant sits.

It's been a long time since I've watched a full Pistons game, the team is actually watchable again now that Griffin and Rose are officially gone.

me too. williams' stats look okay so far this season but that doesn't tell much since defense/athleticism was supposed to be his calling card anyways.

especially with markkanen and porter out tonight both should have some chances to guard each other. though williams did start at PF for the bulls on monday so he'll likely be on grant most of the time.

We're a Plumlee or Stewart injury away from needing Blake to play. Because Okafor is out, I'm surprised we decided to shut down Blake completely at the moment.

I suppose you can always run Bey at PF and Grant at Center but its not ideal.

Why's Sekou out?

That would be awkward if Blake had to check in to a game at this point

We lost so many close games early with all new players... feels like from February forward we might be close to a .500 team. I've been pretty positive we would still end up in the bottom 3 but its starting to feel like we might be better than I thought we were.

I didn’t think the rookies would be so useful, even with killian out. And of course no one saw grant being as good as he’s been.
We may actually be a decent team

Grant is looking real good to start

We've played the hardest SOS in the NBA so far. The ROS we play the 28th hardest SOS. Very unlikely we finish bottom 3 unless we lose Plumlee/Wright/Ellington.

DSJ looking more comfortable with each game.

This bench unit has so much untapped potential

Forgot to check the lines before this game started. Guess it's too late to bet on the Pistons and the Bulls are so bad I don't know if I could bet on the Bulls and the points.

There's no chance the Pistons finish behind the Bulls, the Bulls are just dreadful.
Josh Jackson has been a revelation and he's signed for another cheap year. Weaver's free agent signings have been really good for the most part.

Manocad was right and I was wrong, Griffin and Rose were definitely holding this team back. They might even make a push for the #10 playoff spot.

Yeah I’m starting to see Weaver’s vision for these Pistons. I like it
