It really is a next man up attitude that is permeating thru the team right now. I constantly hear this from Piston players when being interviewed. Credit to everybody that is part of the team.

So everything I felt after a few games has reversed, or appears to be wrong. Our bench should actually be a strength, not a weakness. The good vibes for Ron Holland are now kind of bad vibes. Duncan Robinson is actually a viable replacement for Malik Beasley, and maybe even more well rounded as a player. And Caris Levert is actually a decent rotation player and I can see why the Pistons chose him over bringing Hardaway back.

I wonder if players hate it. From a fans perspective watching on tv, it hurts the eyes to look at.

It's culture shock watching NBA players that are severely outmanned and fighting for their jobs play hard and hustle their butts off.

Agreed. I am just not sure this Pistons team really is built to blow bad teams out anyway. I guess we will see when they are healthy. Not to say they are not good. They just are not going to win with a lot of style points.

I don't think he was. JB just chose to play Green and Jenkins over him. Hard to argue. Both played key roles at the end.

I would not mind the Pistons trading for McCollum or Jrue Holiday.

Pretty sure that was off Washington.

How is that play not being reviewed?

This is absurd. How long can a game drag on?

The refs should have never blown the whistle. That is rarely called a goaltend but they can't overturn it.

If the ball is clearly coming off but still a hair over the cylinder, is it goaltending?

This is a heroic performance in some ways from Cade but he has missed a ton of shot attempts tonight given the high volume and low percentage.

Tough break. Whitmore gets the call that Cade did not get.

Both teams look exhausted.

I wonder what option Jenkins was there. I definitely don't think the play was drawn up for him to be the first option.

Sure would have been nice to have Ausar for his defense.

The Pistons chose not to double McCollum and paid the price. That's on the coaches.

Why did Duncan Robinson bail on the double? They should have forced it out of his hands.

The breaks definitely are not going the Pistons way either. Also, poor execution trying to double McCollum.

Valiant effort by Cade and the Pistons. They caught McCollum on a bad night. Still hanging around though.

You could see this coming a mile away. Pistons look tired and unmotivated.

Cade with 23 shots in the first half. That seems very unusual for him. I always think he is much more aggressive with scoring in the second half.

Rolled his ankle. I don't think it's serious. Maybe a week at the most. I think there is a chance we see him Sunday.

It feels like Cade and Duren have a chance to break some records for assisted baskets combo.
