The Detroit Pistons, in their final In-Season Tournament game of the year, had a lead in the fourth quarter; however, in an epic collapse, the Pistons ended up losing by 23 points to Tyrese Haliburton and the Indiana Pacers. This team doesn’t deserve any excuses and doesn’t deserve a pass; the pressure should be on.

The Pacers brought Hali back in because it was a tournament game. Point differential matters so teams try to rack up as many points as possible.
They gotta knock that hero ball with cade in the 4th quarter out. It ain't working. Cade need to be getting the ball closer to the basket in the 4th.
I couldn't believe 😢4qt
Trade stew
I couldn't wacth the last 7min wtf😮
Trading Bey in exchange for a dead body was a disaster.
The back court is getting better, and the 5pos. Work on the 3 and 4 position
Pacers has the worst defense but also the best offense in the league 😂
1st. Listen…Damn Ku, to hear you say Haliburton is Indiana best player is crazy. Because all I can think about is how Weaver took Killian Hayes over him. What did he see? Because Hayes is nowhere near Haliburton's game. Man…..stay up Ku.
The biggest issue is the offense from a coaching aspect. Sit and wait offense will never be successful if you don't have a top 10 player on your team. We need more motion and movement off the ball to open up the lane.
Morris, harris, and a second rd pick for Malcom brogdon.
Wiseman and Bojan for trey Murphy and Nance off pelicans
Pistons start Cade and I vy, and quite fu…. around back there lock that in . Now let's get to work Coach 🎉
We would have had at least 5 Wins had coach started Jaden Ivy
Trade wiseman for kennard, Trade bogdanovic to heat for duncan robinson, jovic, and 2nd rd pick, trade killian to anywhere for 2nd rd pick.
I said it before, trade either Cade or Ivey and build around the other guy. I think the team currently isn’t built around Cade and is more favorable for Ivey as the lead player. While I highly doubt they trade Cade he does have the MOST value out of anyone and could land you a jalen Williams, Kegan Murray, or Ben Mathurin to give this team another cutter. If we’re trading Ivey or Cade, I would not do it for a Zach Lavine or Brandon Ingram only because I still want this team to be in “rebuilding” phase since we’re no where near contending.
Cade played so well until halfway through the 4th. We just didn’t want it as bad as they did. Our effort, focus, and intensity under Monty is concerning. It truly looks like we don’t even want to be playing at times.
3 games with Cade and Ivey together! Plus 12 games last season (with cade shin problem..)
Lets take a deep breath, because now we have two guards young and with top potential…
This rebuild its uglier because weaver drafted the wrong pices in the 2020 nba draft, and dwayne casey era with the youngers was horrible…
Weaver gotted right with Cade (obviously), Ivey, and Ausar.
Stewart is a bench player, period!
So weaver did not assemble a decent team for cade, for now… and he is in the hot seat! Lets see what he will do with trades, cap space and free agency! But improvement needs to be reached!!
If the pistons win monday are we gonna see the pat berveley celebration n crying from players?? 😂😂😂😂
Second game in a row were Monty’s game plan is “Cade takeover” WHY??? Let me take out the full starting lineup and we are up 6 in the first quarter WHY??? I’m not mad at the players because I see effort, ZERO from Monty though
Pistons fans STOP SHOWING UP FOR HOME GAMES!!! Enough is enough!!!!
Kings fan here, how’s Marvin Bagley working out for y’all? 😅
Trade Burks, Bojan, Morris for future assets. Do not trade away picks or young guys (unless someone wants to give up something for Killian or Wiseman) just to make this terrible team slightly better. Let the young guys play and grow together.
The Pacers blew up the Pistons shooting 16-38 42% from three… Toppin, Turner, Hield, Haliburton and others compared to 7-18 38% 3pt Pistons. Ivey complemented Cade well in the starting lineup, Ausar exceeding expectations, Bagley been consistent, Duren presence felt in the paint. I noticed they packed the paint and were not closing 3pt shooters. What gives me patience is the long term of still having the Cap Flexibility, the young core, one of the best coaches, and knowing if we had those $50+ million in the bench healthy would of been a different record.
You can talk about coaching all you want but at the end of the day this roster just isn’t going to be competitive in the nba in 2023. That’s on Troy weaver
Makes me so mad when Piston fans claim Weaver is a good talent evaluator. He could not have made a worse pick skipping Halliburton
We need a few trades that can complement Duren spacing the floor and a defensive backup C. Troy Murphy, Drummond, Torrey Craig, Tari Eason, Finney Smith, or maybe Jerami Grant. I think Killian going to Spurs or the Heat will be setting him up for success the kid is a team first. The main thing is to not mess up the cap space for next season
onty refuses to run any plays for Ivey or build any cohesiveness between Cade and Ivey. I said it before Monty’s distrust for Ivey built into the psyche of the team and we’re seeing the results!
Dwayne Casey > Monty Williams and it’s not even close!!!
Bojan & 1st for Trey Murphy or Herb Jones.
Ausar & 1st for Markennen.
Hayes & 2nd for Grayson Allen.
Bagley & 2nd for Dorian Finny-Smith.
Stewart for Jordan Walsh & 2nd.
I wouldn’t blame Cade if he wanted to leave. I’d respect that. I feel bad for Cade. I saw a clipt where Cade hung his head, he looked so sad. The way we are playing, it is so unacceptable! I love Bojan. I am his fan. I’ve always been his fan since he started with the Pistons. You weren’t. And, I am probably the only one who loves Bojan. I am happy to see him come back.
Worst defense, best offense
see their next season and get another 5th pick again again and again😂
Throw everything at NOLA for Trey Murphy. Hawkins is ballin and him and Trey are redundant
Indianas defense is trash but their offense is elite!
Trade cade to Toronto or Oklahoma start Sassar Ivey Thompson Bagley n duren
Where is Tom Doesn't care Gores? This is a garbage team but people keep spending money on a terrible product… the average points per game in the NBA THIS SEOSON IS 113.9 PER GAME Which is the highest since atleast 1966-67 @ 117.4 !!! Defense in the NBA is a joke. The Pistons have a bunch of kids that just shoot shoot shoot and go home with another loss….
Stan Van Dummy made a couple of decent trades, early on, but he couldn’t draft worth a damn. He picked Stanley Johnson over Devin Booker & he drafted Luke Kennard, instead of taking Donovan Mitchell. Please don’t use Stan as an example of what competent front offices due.
Ku you need to declare this rock bottom. Otherwise it’s just gonna get worse
Oh man this shit is getting ugly ima need Detroit and spurs to win a game wtf bro
