It'll be interesting to see how the Pistons play these games out. 

60 wins would be nice, but it's window-dressing at this point. With the long layoff with the play-in tourney, you want to play people but you also don't want to get people hurt. It would be nice to be able to play Cade if he's okay (guessing he's not), but don't want to get him hurt again. 

I wonder if Cade does come back sometime in the first round or if they advance to the second how much his body can stand the rigors of the playoffs. Let's face it. He hasn't been the pilar of stable health during his career, and the playoffs are a different monster. He's already had issues this year, and it's not going to be easier in the playoffs.

Recommended to the girlfriend she catches up on her TV this week before I make her a playoff widow next week.  So I imagine some home improvement shows are on my viewing agenda tonight.

Harris and Robinson are questionable.

The 1:15 PM injury report flipped Cade and Stew to doubtful.  A beat writer said neither one is in Orlando so it means nothing for tonight.  But up until now they have been listed as out.

Maybe Wednesday at home they will give it a go.

Harris and Robinson are now both listed as doubtful.

I imagine Harris and Robinson will get some rest in the final 4 games. Duren might sit out one or two of them as well.

No reason to rest Daniss, Holland, Huerter or anyone else. I doubt Ausar will rest since he's trying to qualify for offseason awards.

I highly doubt we'll see Cade, but I wonder about Stew. Seems like it might be good to get him a game or two to get back in the groove. Of course, playing Stew and/or Duren in the Charlotte matchup seems like a bad idea after what happened last time. We don't need any suspensions.
