Seriously doubt all those guys are playing. Especially Butler.

I don’t like Joseph and Plumlee in the lineup either.

I confirm Butler is out, should be replaced by Iguodala in the lineup. Dragic is also questionable. Our infographics were done right before they announced it.

I can’t imagine anyone questionable will play in this one.

Hmm. Hope for the best I suppose.

we'll need lottery luck regardless of where we finish so it might be nice to see guys like hayes, bey and diallo ball out and get a win to finish the season. that said, it'll likely be against the heat's dregs so it won't mean much anyways.

fine, i'm hoping for a loss that's entertaining since this is the last pistons' basketball we'll see for months.

It looks bad, but Robinson and Herro are playing.

All the Pistons need to do is go easy on their closeouts to the 3 point line and Miami should take this

Do you ACTUALLY wonder? Like do you go into the kitchen to grab a snack and think, "I hope they're not sick or had a death in the family. Maybe they just needed to put their cars in the shop for repairs or something."

What a start.

Also, Orlando might win anyway. They're playing a team resting most of their players too.

I wasn't actually wondering if you were actually wondering

This Miami team of their bench players actually look pretty good. At least against our tank squad.

Well it certainly looks like the Pistons will have a top 6 pick, guaranteed.

What an astounding tank year. Now we wait for June 21st for the draft combine to begin, and then on June 22nd, we all learn the fate of the Pistons ping pong balls.

Prediction?

4th pick.
