Let's see how Hayes does this game, as well as Grant and Plumlee. I wonder how competitive this one will be.

Denver has been on a tear lately and looks good with AG flying around after the acquisition. This will likely be a solid loss unless they somehow play down to our level for whatever reason

Remember the song "Be like Mike"...well it seems the Pistons what to "Be like DEN" signing Tyler Cook now you have 3/17 player who are former Nuggets. Good ideas but wrong end of the roster. Hope for a good game w/o injuries tonight !

We don’t want to “be like Denver”.

We’ve won championships here. We’re just trying to get back to being the Pistons.

We don’t think of Denver here. Ever.

It’s a back to back situation. Guys been out for a long time, they are just trying to ease him back in.

Also, Plumlee just got a night off for rest. This is essentially for rest. Just saying they could be finally looking to rest guys as we cruise to the end.

Okay I get it then. Just thought maybe he got banged up or something, that would have sucked. Still a little disappointed though. Got myself a really nice cigar, some Moonshine, and was prepared to enjoy the game.

Welp, get to check out the other young guys though. Diallo(sp?)is starting to really intrigue me so there's that.

It's good thing too. No reason to play the vets on a back to back anymore seeing as how there's 21 games left

Enjoy the cigar, watch if any of the Detroit nuggets show up their old teammates.

If the Lakers and Nets continue to be banged up its anybodys game this season. Lakers AD and LBJ currently out and Nets missing Harden and Durant though Durant is back soon. Say come playoff time these guys are missing one of their big guys then somebody out of the Sixers/Bucks/Nuggs/Jazz/Clippers/Suns maybe Heat gonna have to win it. This is the most open season I've seen in awhile for anybody to win due to those injuries to the best teams.

Other than the Suns and heat I can’t see them beating any of those other teams 4 times healthy. But you’re right, injuries are part of the game and moreso this year

Would be sweet if Grant could drop 50 on his former team. (In a loss)

Grant looks juiced for this game, and Bey looks good as well. Stewart is just so damn physical with their bigs I love it.

Bey has such a cool looking 3 ball, like it's a flat shot or something

It’s the weird outward extension that he gets
