What are your thoughts on the upcoming contest vs. the Detroit Pistons? The guys must do
what well to get the victory? Who on the Pistons should LA focus on? Will the game be
bombs away by both teams or first to 100 gets the W? Are there any injury/player
availability updates?

Missed the game, but seems to me that from the small sample size, the Clippers may be better
off not pulling off those recent trades. Tonight of course with Harden struggling
badly, and no KL & NP- needed someone to step up. Bogdanovic *1 for 12* from
deep... and his 3 point shooting % for the season is concerning. Simmons couldn't
play. Mann, Porter Jr & Mo Bamba brought more to the second
unit.
But hopefully the new guys will start meshing better, and of course need Leonard &
Powell healthy.

What's the update on Powell? I keep hearing "day to day" but I don't know how
reliable those sources are

Yeah thought he and Kawhi would’ve played since they sat out the last game. So a bit
disconcerting, but hopefully it’s just for extra rest.
Eubanks and Bogdanovic are disappointing so far. There were concerns about
Bogdanovic’s shooting before the trade and it is sure showing up. Even if
they made couple of 3s they missed, we would have seen a different outcome
yesterday. Bamba was a ok contributor but I guess the Clippers dumped to save in tax
money and to get under the apron thing so that we can be active in the buyout
market.
I am not trying to sugarcoat but the presence of a healthy KL and Norm would surely made
the supporting cast better than what they were like in the past couple of games. But
it is disappointing to see the losses.

For sure. We've seen guys who've been traded step up and help the team grind out some
surprising wins this season. So it's a bummer that the new players haven't had a big
impact yet, other than Simmons with that terrific first game.
