The Detroit Pistons have now lost nine straight games, falling to 2-10 on the season, after losing to the Atlanta Hawks in their second In-Season Tournament game. With the way the upcoming schedule looks, this thing could get out of hand; what needs to change in Detroit?

Today's lost was mostly due to Cade being passive. He looked like he didn't want to shoot at all
Ku, you a good one, I gave up on the Pistons season after the Blazers game.
Worst team in basketball If we still
Suck after all Star break. Rebuild the rebuild lol
I’m not even gonna post an in-depth break down of everything wrong with this team. Just throw the whole franchise away at this point. This entire organization is a dumpster fire.
Your logic is faulty. The Pistons team that lost against the Hawks tonight is not the same as the Piston team that will play them the next time. Development, experience, injuries, rotation, coaching, and so on, are always changing and evolving in sports, so you can't say that because a team loses one game that they will lose the next. Otherwise, playoff series would always be won by the team that wins the first game.
I'm disappointed by the losses, but I certainly see an improvement over last year's team, so I'm not too upset yet. They have an improving young core and some solid vets around them when everyone is available, so things could improve with a little good fortune.
Welp that was rough to watch
(Pulls up tankathon)
Ku this fanbase has been FERAL with their takes. I'm glad you've been a voice of reason
Product of the GM… we needed to do something this offseason and we didn’t, now we’re paying the price. While it’s not just the unhealthy roster but the rotation and overall approach has to change. This is beyond unacceptable and if you’re using injuries as an excuse with how many close games we lost you’re lying to yourself.
“If nothing changes, nothing happens…”
I really don’t like Monty’s coaching. He’s destroyed Ivey’s confidence and has him second guessing himself every time he touches the ball. I think if he instilled more confidence and trust in Ivey this teams offense would explode with a lot of pressure coming off of Cade. Instead Ivey’s playing on pins and needles and teams are throwing the kitchen sink at Cade resulting in endless turnover’s smh!
Honestly I've watched all the games this year (which is a first in a decade). I'm not that upset, we have been competitive in all the games. The coach just needs to figure out better rotations. Ivey, Thompson, Cade, Bagley, Stewart should be on the floor together.
I got a great nickname for Ausar.
Ausar "Bazooka" Thompson
1st Listen. I no longer believe in Weaver. Straight trash roster.
Not gonna lie this one hurt
I think they just need to get one win to get confident but I would start Marcus sassar with Cade and ivy and asaur at forward and put stew on the bench might as well go small u gettin killed anyway
Cade's minutes need to be cut and given to Ivey, until he can show he belongs on the court. They need to stop treating him like he's that guy, when he's playing like that girl, which TBH, I'd rather have Caitlin Clark out there than Cade RN.
Cade is not a pass first pg. He is a scoring sg. Who is our second option in the starting line up. Stew? Thats why we are losing, besides that coach monty is trying to force his ideas on the team. Instead of using the players he has to their potential strengths. Im disgusted with these losses
Send the pistons to the g league
Where's rookie Cade bag and smoothness? He's playing like Sochan rn, and doesn't help the fact that Monty is playing him 37 minutes for no reason after a whole season out. And If he's playing this bad, why would you count on him to close games? Let Ivey and Sasser and then Morris cook. Everybody deserve reps
I will wait until next season to judge Monty, but I don't like what I'm seeing. But I'm pretty sure he knows way better than me
Rooting for this team right now is very depressing
When does the rebuild happen??
Bob Myers come on down. Troy you are out, if this persists.
i have withdrawn from these guys, LETS GO MOTOR CITY CRUISE!!!
Troy Weaver is the problem
We don't have our starting center in Duren and we don't have FOUR out of our FIVE best 3-point shooters due to injury. What other NBA team with that injury list would you expect to be looking good at this point?
Ku not sure what you going to talk about if all these L’s keep piling up. When should we start questioning Monty? The sets with stew sitting in the corner , I laugh , who telling this guy he klay Thompson ??? Stop it ! Every team giving him that shot all day. If we going to keep Ivey on the bench and accountable for defensive improvements, then where is cades accountability with TOs!!? Should of benched Cade for Ivey tonight ! And If we getting Ls with killian , then what’s the point? I feel iveys ceiling is a lot higher than killian and with these Ls, mind as well play Ivey and Cade together to build reps and chemistry as they grow. I can’t see Ivey as a 6th man, if this their plan than they failed in drafting him. Cade and Ivey is the future back court , play them the rest of the year!!! Stop messing around, season already over.
What makes this hurt even more is that we have the highest payed coach in nba history.
Has anyone's pre season expectations changed based on the Pistons horrific start?
Cade is not who we think he is lol
Look I don’t wanna bash Monty quite yet buuuuut my gosh your the highest payed coach in nba history and you still haven’t found an affective winning rotation and miss me with the injuries excuse. You have a 15 man roster for a reason, that reason is so other guys step up when someone gets hurt.
Preach Rev. Ku!
Ivey should be grasping for air
He should be playing big minutes
Looks like we are tanking again
If not might as well start 🫤
