Elfrid Payton is doubtful for this game.

Frye is the Piston killer here. Vucevic will probably make all his mid range shots as Drummond doesn't show up on those. Other than that they're not a super hard team to beat if you play hard. Their offense is inconsistent as well and our offense is better at home. They'll have to defend us really well to win but Drummond will probably have a good game tonight on the boards. It could go either way but if the Pistons roster want to be taken seriously, this is a must win. They need to come and play and take the game early.

Prediction: Marcus will go off tonight and we'll win or he'll actually go off.

More seriously, I think that Reggie will have a bounce-back night. I agree that Channing Frye is in the perfect situation tonight to make his contract look like an underpay. However, I think that by the end of the night, we will have the same records.

Elfrid is out tonight, expect Oladipo to start in his place (I hope at least)

Should be a fun game regardless.

Man, we've had a rough 5 game stretch here.

Would love to get a win here against a tough Orlando team.

Orlando is very similar to us record wise. They play well at home and bad away. We're nearly equal. Signs point that this is a win but the Pistons need to take it seriously and move on to the next game. They should be tired of losing. It's crap! If Drummond is a man, he'd post Vucevic and get him in foul trouble. He's not aggressive enough in the post. Maybe when he gets older, he'll use it to his advantage. I think right now he's just trying to stay out of foul trouble.

Orlando scares me, they got talent on talent on talent.

Pick and roll and pumpfakes. I hope this offense evolves.

Man I would trade a lot of players for Vucevic.

Also, I still want Hezonja.

Reggie is sloppy

I remember when pistons were rumored to go after Tobias Harris in the offseason. I'm glad we went with Marcus Morris instead.I think Marcus is better and on a much much cheaper contract.

Considering our whole roster has been shooting bad from their usual, it's this boring offense that is killing us.

Stan needs to change his high pnrs up.
