    Tankathon roll 1 of the day. Our wins are A OK, we rise seven spots and get the #1 overall!!!

    Buddy is questionable now as well. We clearly weren’t happy with the W the other day, haha.

    C. Isaiah Jackson

    PF. Jordan Nwora

    SF. Aaron Nesmith

    SG. Chris Duarte

    PG. Andrew Nembhard

    My guess of a starting lineup.

    If Buddy misses this might be a blatant, conscious “whatever it takes” tank attempt.

    Buddy averages like 1 game missed a season and he just so happens to have a random “sore foot”. Lol.

    Scary part is, we sat out guys (played guys less, Buddy sat for way longer than normal), and shot terrible and the game still wasn’t close in the grand scheme of things… if the Pistons weren’t already missing their top 5-6 players… then they go and lose Bagley and Diallo 🤦🏻‍♂️

    Not logistical and too late, but it’d of been cool to call up a G-Leaguer or 2 and give them a shot on the NBA floor… reward ’em for grinding it out down there.

    I hope Queen gets some real minutes and more OG James Johnson big minutes… not even for tanking purposes, just giving some of these some guys some “carefree” fun out there hooping.
