Pregame Reading:

Vince Ellis at the Detroit Free Press had a nice writeup of what the Pistons can do with the starting lineup (that doesn’t involve Derrick Rose).

Rod Beard of the Detroit News took the tack of explaining (again) the rationale behind not stretching Rose’s minutes.

James Edwards of The Athletic wrote about Bruce Brown’s summer development work. I continue to be a fan of Brown, but even I can see that, uh, he hasn’t been great to start this year:

Let’s get this win tonight, y’all.
