Rod Beard: #Pistons Dwane Casey in pregame: “It’s not Joel Embiid vs. Andre Drummond — I don’t look at Twitter or InstaFam. It’s the Detroit Pistons vs. the Philadelphia 76ers.”
Dwane Casey Rumors
James Edwards III: Per Dwane Casey, Blake Griffin is, indeed, sitting tonight in Philly. Same goes for Reggie Bullock. Stanley Johnson is a game-time decision.
The Detroit Pistons have expressed interest in trading for Damyean Dotson, according to a league source. Luke Kennard, the backup guard, has missed games due to injury but also has not found a fit in Dwane Casey’s system.
Rod Beard: #Pistons Dwane Casey gets a technical foul for arguing a bad foul call on Kennard.
James Edwards III: Earlier today, I asked Dwane Casey about his Ish Smith-Langston Galloway-Bruce Brown-Stanley Johnson-Zaza unit, and he called them his “Rottweilers.”
On the floor, Griffin has done his part — that 50-point game against Philadelphia on Oct. 23 put him back in the consciousness of the general public — showing that only his health prevented him from becoming a true franchise player in an evolving game. “Whatever he went through with being traded, every player goes through that,” Pistons coach Dwane Casey told Yahoo Sports. “It’s behind him. He’s totally invested in the team, team-bonding things, he takes guys to dinner on the road, family things, the whole gamut. He totally bought in.”
