My ideal STARTING LINEUP: CADE/BEASLEY/AUSAR/TOBIAS/STEWART!!! balance of shooting and defense. It seems to me like Duren has not lived up to his defensive potential
Stewart is a GOOD roster player. He is not a starter. And, he is a nice guy to have on your club just for sheer toughness and physicality. Good centers are hard to find. Lopez, Gobert and a couple others have had their careers lengthened because the up and coming bigs need to be trained in the NBA extensively.
Man, what a fatalistic viewpoint. It's a long season. Taking it one game at a time. If something isn't working, change it and watch the result. If it doesn't work, try something else.
too small they have to get 7ft player like Kai Sotto playing now on japan
They need to start tec at the 3. Ausar should not start. Thats stupid
We still have to look at the schedule, which has been brutal! Soon. Not sure why we can't guard against the 3!
WE GET IT!!! DUREN SHOUTED OUT THE PODCAST!!!! WE DO NOT CARE!!! It’s not “legendary” grow up kid
I know he had 2 early fouls but did Cade get benched yesterday? If so , bravo coach!
they keep saying AUsar has o be the starter. but when he is not fully recovered, i think they should give Moore a try. Defense, rebounding, mid range shots and handles can be improved
Duren is a power forward. No matter how much you call him a center it doesn't make him one.
Put tec in the lineup
Put tec in the game he rebound and plays defense
Tec aggressive he attacks the rim
I DON'T LISTEN TO THE PODCAST MUCH,BUT WHEN I DO YOU ARE ALWAYS ACTING LIKE THE PISTONS SHOULD BE MUCH BETTER AND I'M LIKE HOW WHEN THEY BROUGHT BACK THE SAME LOSING SORRY TEAM MOSTLY FROM LAST YEAR WITH SOME WASHED UP VETERANS!! MAKE IT MAKE SENSE!! IF CHANGE ISN'T MADE THEN RESULTS SHOULD BE THE SAME AS I WAS ALWAYS TAUGHT!! THE BIGGEST THING FOR ME IS YOU HAVE NO POOR MONTY TO WHOOP FOR THE FAILURES !! NO MONTY TO BLAME FOR THE WAY THE TEAM IS PLAYING AND COACHED!! NO SCAPEGOAT!! NO EXCUSES!! NO NOTHING!! MY BAD THE SCAPEGOAT IS THE OWNER WHO KEEPS THE SMOKE AND MIRRORS ACT UP TO KEEP THE CASHCOW MILKING THE FANBASE AND PODCAST HOSTS OF THEIR TIME AND MONEY!! WHEN WILL THIS HOODWINKING BE STOPPED?? WHO KNOWS??
“Chime. Forgive me!”
