Pregame Reading:
Actually, a little bit of pregame LISTENING – DBB’s own David Fernandez and Matt Way did a great job on the latest Inside the Cylinder podcast of breaking down the Blake Griffin Buyout Situation, and you should give it a listen.
At the Detroit Free Press, Omari Sankfofa II broke down who in the Pistons rotation has the most to gain from Blake Griffin’s departure.
It’s gotten kind of lost in the Blake news, but Saddiq Bey won Eastern Conference Player of the Week – DBB’s Enbiejowiec examined that for us.
At the Detroit News, Rod Beard wrote about the quick-change alterations to the game plan the Pistons did to prepare for an opponent that wasn’t originally on the schedule.
Over at The Athletic, Sam Vecenie is ranking all the teams by the potential their young guys have – See where he placed the Detroit Pistons.
Enjoy the game tonight, y’all.
