The Pistons have been Jekyll and Hyde as of late. My understanding is no Oubre Jr. No Jr., no chance of winning.
Go Suns!!!

This feels like another loss incoming. It feels like we are cratering again after our little feel-good win streak. Too many important players out (Warren, Oubre, Johnson, etc.) and not enough firepower or hustle remaining on the roster. Booker doesn't seem to be able to drag this crew to wins without everybody else healthy. The Pistons want to win this to solidify their playoff spot, and they have kind of figured out who they are at this point in the season. Kudos to Blake for having a better season than I expected.

Ugh, starting a Booker-Jackson backcourt. How pathetic is it that we desperately miss Tyler Johnson?

Have we ever seen Ayton this aggressive?

We're looking good. A lot of ball movement, not as much of Booker just pounding the ball waiting to get doubled. Everyone's been involved, defense is still quick to the ball and the rotations look better.

Booker's reaching into his bag of tricks tonight. He's driving, shooting, posting, pulling up. 15pts in the 1st. Could be a big night?

Crawford still has a little gas in the tank.

Ayton looks much better defensively.

Ayton seems like he's actually starting to get comfortable playing in the NBA. If he can improve his conditioning, watch out. He'll be dominating the league next season.

Ya I’m excited for him next year. If he takes a leap, Booker finds his 3 pt game again, and we add another difference maker or two to Bridges/Oubre, we could have a decent team.

I'm liking what I just tuned into watching; looking good
Booker is just a sick scorer; it's a gift
Has anyone else noticed that when an opponent shoots free throws Booker tries to psyche out the shooter by stepping in almost early?
I'm also loving that they are trying zone; it benefits their athleticism and length
