Cade can you really win with a guy that seems to turn it over 10 times a game. That's a lot of shots your team throws away. It why it's hard to win with Russ. It's not what he can do on offensive, passing, assets, rebounds. The turnover kills you because it's shot you don't get.
ime Udoka with those sexual miscoinduct with the Celtics
Wish pistons could upgrade Tobias trade him a second and 2030 first for Jonathan issac
DETROIT BASKETBALL!!
Great debate. Rachel is very knowledgeable. Cade is coming into his own. Salute !! Embid is never healthy. He told you who he was believe it.
Cade lucky surrounded by shooters and at the weak@$$ eastern conference
Talent and defensive wings with plus scoring
Mannix picked the Rockets to finish 13th? They were 11th last year. Did he think they were gonna regress?
Who cares about cry baby league?
Can't stand Rachel. Mannix is the man!
Rachel Nichols hate black people and uneducated!!
I love when the winning teams have developed their own deep rosters through continuity and development, and when losers are those with rich owners buying superstars past there prime. Embid = Greg Oden + modern medical tech.
Thompson Twins effect. #GoPistons
Sixers don't have to deliberately tank. Did you watch the Nuggets-Sixers game? They're tanking their hearts out all ready! There was a total lack of effort by Philly. Nuggets just beat them down the court time after time for layups and dunks. Nuggets had 18 fast break points in the 1st half. Jokic had a 27pt triple double 27, 15, 10 and sat the entire 4th quarter! Julian Strawther had a career high 23 points. Aaron Gordon threw in 19 on dunks and layups in 20 minutes. Paul George had 11 points in 28 minutes. If they play like that the rest of the year, they have a chance at Cooper Flagg!
My pistons are great ! But I’m worried about the latter years our vets are helping out big time ! When they contracts are up we’re gonna need way more scoring and shooting, idek how good it is for us to be this ahead of schedule , I think we need one more high pick that compliments Cade . Then we legit . I would’ve love to see Cade with cooper
