Little Caesars Arena - Detroit, MI

[Deleterious]

This is pretty much over.  The Pistons have a very easy schedule and Boston pretty much had to run the table.  Their loss to Minnesota really hurt them.

[1984Echoes]

If they go 7-4 and we go 4-7 they lose.

We have the tiebreaker, correct?

They can go 8-3 and we go 3-8 and we STILL win.

[Deleterious]

Yep. The Pistons have the tiebreaker on Boston and New York.

[Deleterious]

All suspense could be removed tonight.  Detroit should win and Boston should lose (OKC).  Magic # at 5 for both Boston and NYK with 10 and 9 games left is a death sentence.  

Maybe they wont do it with Cade out.  But starting tomorrow with Pelicans game, it would be nice to see them starting to rest a rotation player every game the rest of the season.  

[Deleterious]

The Cruise already played this morning.  So if a guy like Lanier gets minutes tonight it will be his second game of the day.  

[Deleterious]

Johnson will play tonight

[Sports_Freak]

Blaha just said the Hawks have won 13 out of their last 14. No matter the opponents, impressive 

[Deleterious]

They wear these jerseys way too often. Give me the blue.

[Deleterious]

Thompson is such a freak

[Deleterious]

The Pistons DJ with the Beastie Boys playlist tonight

[Betrayer]

Has ATL missed a shot yet?  Draining threes like we’re playing against Steph x5 out there. 

[Betrayer]

I’m not sure if Atlanta can keep up this scoring pace, but I’m 100 percent sure we cannot. Time to play some D. Hopefully that’s why JB took that timeout. 

[Betrayer]

Of course he took out Ausar, that should help 

[Deleterious]

Even when they miss we give up the offensive rebound

[Sports_Freak]

Did Blaha say that Atlanta made 25 three pointers against Memphis? And the Pistons defend the 3 pointer poorly. Not a good combo 

[Betrayer]

Securing the defensive board has been a real problem for this team since the all star break. 

[Betrayer]

Scoring 29 should be good in a quarter. Not when you allow 37. 

[Deleterious]

They really should have made some roster moves last summer to create cap space and make NAW a bigger offer than the Hawks could have. 

[Deleterious]

Huerter providing a spark on both ends

[Deleterious]

ESPN says Atlanta only has 4 offensive rebounds. That doesn't seem right

[Betrayer]

Get Lavert out of there. 

[Deleterious]

Pistons have given up 51 points with 5:37 left in the half

[Betrayer]

ESPN announcers killing Lavert, as they should. Already called him “thirsty” when he was over dribbling and shot hunting, called him out on passing up the three for a turnover, and then taking that terrible air ball.

Someone compared him and Killian over the last 12 games or so. Hayes had the better numbers.
