Feels like a W tonight... For Denver. Who is our backup center? I hope I'm wrong but it feels like we might loose by 30. I am not into NBA regular season betting but I kind of want to put money down on Denver to cover the spread.

Looks like Jokic, and Porter Jr. are playing.

If the Pistons win this game with that lineup they're putting out there against a near full strength Denver squad, I give up and just hope that the lottery gods smile upon us. If they win, it'll be driven by the young guys so I guess wouldn't hate that outcome. Who am I kidding? Just lose please.

Okafor guarding the Joker is a non-starter.

We lose.

I figure Tyler cook is the backup center. We honestly could see sekou, cook, and Okafor play 30 minutes each regardless of how they perform.

Nuggets lose this they should forfeit themselves out of the playoffs.

If the Pistons win this game with Jokic and Porter playing I will personally drive down to LCA, wait in the shadows for the team to leave the building, and yell mean stuff at them.

Or Plan B, yell at my TV.

Denver came out flat and Diallo looking to kill, might want to move the up schedule Mano and take preemptive action lol

Diallo's a keeper. It's been so many years since we've had a slasher on the wing, it almost seems foreign. A sight for sore eyes.

Diallo is just a beast around the rim period.

That DS stepback was actually much nicer then I thought he was capable of.

If the Stones win this can you really blame Casey lol, I mean this is literally the worst possible lineup we can run.

Return to Detroit Pistons
