For the 2nd game in a row, we're hosting a team that's on a road back-to-back. Wiz lost by 12 in Milwaukee last night. Trailed by 26 after 3.

Pistons laying 4.

This Pistons team, when fully operational, and seemingly allowed to play hard, are mich better then their record.

If they take it serious tonight, they will crush the Wizards like grapes.

KCP is a solid defender, but hopefully we see a big night from Cade tonight. Still hoping he tops that career high of 34 at least once this season.

We probably win

Okay, I'm now officially done with wanting Pistons try to win games. It was fun stretch in a terrible season. Now just get a top-three pick please. I don't trust Holmgren's skinny frame at all to hold up, but there's no doubting his NBA skills and competitiveness and the other two look like surefire studs in this league. But losing to the Wizards at home when they are on the road of a back to back?

That takes a tanking king like Sam Presti to accomplish. Cade may need to get his triple double with points, rebounds, and turnovers.

The tanking isn't in how we play the game, it's who's on the injury report. We don't have enough players out to lose this one.

Bey dropped 50 the other day, Grant 40, Cade is due to a big scoring game. I hope he drop 40+ and we lose.

Honestly expected the vets to be out for this game, seems like an easy win with them , which is pretty annoying at this point in the season

Well seems like it's Stewart's time to drop 50.

Cade has had several nice passes to set up teammates for good looks in this one.

We need Killian Hayes playing 40 minutes per game please.

We've really struggled to shoot the ball in the 1st Q recently. Especially from deep. I'm just not sure if I'm supposed to be annoyed with Bagley or not. It's entirely possible he's being told to take that shot because they want him to work on that part of his game and don't care if he's missing them right now. It's also possible he should just be taking 1-2 dribbles and shortening that shot.

Stewart & Bagley are leading our offense. Nobody else can even make a point blank shot. Except Hayes who is knocking down 3's.

Gonna be a wild night.

Key/McGruder/Jackson/CoJo/Cade/Bey = 1 for 19.

I think Grant is likely going to be shut down for the last 8 games

We are getting rolled hard core this half.

That was clearly a push off on Cade. Not sure why he was so upset with it.

Post #19 » by **Cowology** » Sat Mar 26, 2022 12:10 am

Cade is frustrated right now. He's been complaining about contact every time he's driven the ball tonight and not gotten a single call. Then get's the blocking call at one end, immediately followed by the offensive foul at the other end. It's the lack of consistency.

NBA refs are so bad its unreal. I would fire all of them, and hire scabs.

They are not the stars on the floor, and they need to know it.
