Race to the bottom: Who's our biggest competition?

Right now the Pistons are sitting at a 52% chance of a top 4 pick and 48% chance of 5-6 and need to stay right there since that's as good as it's going to get.

We need front court help quite a bit. C, PF, SF. More so than guards. Front court and shooting and always playmakers.

I don’t agree with this at all. We have Grant as a very good starting PF. Saddiq Bey as a developing starting small forward. Stewart is the Center, though we need a guy with some size at the postion. We have only average options at the two, and Killian Hayes who may be good one day. He needs a scorer next to him. Most of the top 4 except Mobley are guards, that’s what we need!

Vs Denver tomorrow.

Jerami Grant, Mason Plumlee, Frank Jackson, Cory Joseph, Rodney McGruder, Dennis Smith Jr., Wayne Ellington also OUT. Hamidou Diallo is questionable. Isaiah Stewart is out for personal reasons.

Watch Okafor have an amazing game.

Outside of the regulars, these two being out is very important for the Pistons.

No, Frank Jackson being out trumps both of them. By the way, anybody still thinking we're going to win orrrrrrrrrrrr?

So that leaves Hayes, Lee, JJ, Bey, Sekou, Okafor, Cook, McGruder and Sirvydis. Yeah, that's a loss.

You're calling this a loss? You're REALLY calling this a loss? I don't know man, there's Casey and then Orlando losing alot, oh how about OKC tanking like it's their jobs. We need to be on pins and needles with this one.

If Jokic plays, we’ve got sekou, cook, and Okafor as our main bigs. I feel like that’s the bigger takeaway.

Big game tonight. If Orlando wins, that leaves only OKC with 21 wins in case the Pistons win another game.

Let's go Orlando!

You know, speaking of Orlando, in an a reply to the Pistons management praising Casey after losing games(specifically the Orlando game, surprise, surprise)this was the reply

"Weaver is regarded as some kind of draft genius by Pistons fans. I think they're over inflating him. Stewart, Hayes, and Bey really don't excite me. I thought Hayes was going to be more explosive, but he plays so slow that it's painful to watch. Dembouya isn't very good either, not sure why they'd pick up his option."

:lol:

sour grapes maybe?

He probably won’t play , Michael porter is already being rested in their game today

We lose this next one we are good. Miami is caught in a 3 team crush with the winner getting home court and the loser playing Milwaukee. Just need to lose to Denver.

ElectricMayhem · Post #1175 » by **ElectricMayhem** » Fri May 14, 2021 3:13 am

Denver is playing a back to back on the road against us. We've got 2 days rest.
Miami is playing a back to back on the road against us. We've got 1 day rest and will have had the entire week at home.

our lineup tomorrow and probably against the heat too will be

Hayes/ Lee
JJ/ Diallo
bey/Sirvydis
Doumbouya/ cook
Okafor

we should be ok hopefully, but I guess you never know

Jokic is listed as questionable for this game but he hasn't missed a game yet this season and Nuggets are only 1 game behind Sixers (and Clippers) in the standings.
All games played plus Nuggets record are the arguments they want to use for Jokic to win the MVP, so they may want to win their last 2 to validate it with Joker playing.

Raptors have officially validated to give us a 37th pick this year.
Hornets' pick can very well be the 41st considering their tough last 2 games, and can be 44th at the lowest.

The Raptors' Stanley Johnson commemorated our pick with a career night - 35/10/5, three steals, no turnovers in 43 minutes.
