Tigeraholic1 Posted April 1 Posted April 1 (edited) Oklahoma City, Oklahoma - Paycom Center National: ESPN Pistons 42-33 OKC 63-12 Looking ahead 4/5 Vs Memphis 44-31 Edited April 1 by Tigeraholic1 Quote
Deleterious Posted April 1 Posted April 1 Was a bit worried Stewart would get a few more. This isn't that bad. Quote
Deleterious Posted April 1 Posted April 1 Pistons have until 5PM today to release their injury report for tomorrow. Quote
Deleterious Posted April 2 Posted April 2 Cade is doubtful while Harris is listed as probable. He was probable last game though. Wiggins is the only rotation guy out for OKC it looks like. Quote
StrangeBird Posted April 2 Posted April 2 With the Hawks loss today, the Pistons’ magic number is now down to 1. They are in the playoffs with one more win, or one more loss for both the Hawks and Magic. 3 Quote
Deleterious Posted April 2 Posted April 2 I guess it won't matter for a few games. But Stew is at 15 technical fouls for the year. One more and he is suspended for a game. Then he is suspended another game every 2 techs after that. They reset in the playoffs and suspensions start again after 7. Quote
RandyMarsh Posted April 2 Posted April 2 I wonder if all these games Cade is missing at the end of the year will effect his All NBA chances? Quote
RatkoVarda Posted April 2 Posted April 2 they can lose with Cade playing 38 minutes, or lose with Cade sitting out this one, too Quote

You never know when it comes to reporters/broadcasters voting. 2011-12 they voted Tyson Chandler DPOY but put him on 2nd team all defense behind Dwight Howard. The best part, D12 didn't even finish 2nd in DPOY voting. That was Serge Ibaka. Quote
Betrayer Posted April 2 Posted April 2 4 hours ago, RandyMarsh said: I wonder if all these games Cade is missing at the end of the year will effect his All NBA chances? Nope. He has the required 65 games and most people I've heard nationally think he's guaranteed 3rd team and will probably make 2nd team. Narratives don't change that fast in the NBA. Quote

I don't know about best especially as long as Jokic is playing but I do think with the right supporting staff to compliment and maximize his game he has a chance to be in that top 3ish discussion.

Deleterious Posted April 2 Posted April 2 Someone on Reddit said this, so no clue if it is true. They said OKC could take all the games they won by less than 10 and count them as losses. They would be 49-26 and the #1 seed in the west still. 1 Quote
Betrayer Posted April 2 Posted April 2 From reports it sounds like the Pistons might be running a bunch of G-League players out there tonight. Good. Sit most of your players and tank the ratings for the game they flexed to national TV. Serves them right for deciding to suspend a bunch of players who were involved in a pushing match that the other team started after Naz Reid got his feelings hurt and came at Ron about a common slap-away foul and Donte decided to lay hands on Ron as well. Still trying to figure out how he got suspended for being the victim of a 2-on-1 that got him shoved to the bottom of a pile of dudes. Quote
Deleterious Posted April 2 Posted April 2 I still say that nobody gets suspended if that happens at mid-court. I didn't see a single punch get thrown. They only suspended people because it spilled into the crowd, IMO. Quote

Too many minutes could fatigue players and lead to injuries Quote
