Went to the game it was lit. Lots to work on but I’m happy with the dub
Ausar is a legit superstar . Probably our most impactful player on both ends. Cade got better on defense this year
Im a dallas fan refugee from australia, I hope you will accept me here 😭💔 The pistons have alot of similarities with my aussie football team, alway had a soft spot for them
Big 3 ? Let's pump the brakes ! Still a long way to go!
Glad we won but these slow starts are annoying
Cade is not a TRUE number one on a CONTENDING team I’ve come to that realization, on tanking and mediocre teams he’s amazing but on a team that wants to contend at the highest level he may be best as Robin instead of a Batman… and I love Cade just being real
Ausar was amazing. Love to see the growth on the offensive end.
Cade with way too many turnovers still
Ausar is here 🥇
Not resigning Duren to a 4 year 100mil contract was criminal
May be a little early but I think this team is leveling up. Detroit is going to be a problem in the East
Big three for tonight.
more ausar catching the ball around the FT line/ elbow area.
Truly a big 2. As for that 3rd slot I have my doubts. Ausar is an emerging two way superstar. Duren can be dominant in the right matchups, but his consistency is a problem. Did fantastic tonight.
Duren plays like a backup, with an inconsistent motor
I read in a recent article where Trajan Langdon explained Ivey’s surgery was successfully completed in 15 minutes – It will be nice to finally see Ivey play with this nucleus of players. It looks like Thompson, Duren, and Cunningham are playing at much higher levels. Everyone is hoping and waiting to see Ivey mesh with them SOON.
With how we are praying early I'm excited for when we get our normal lineup integrated later in the year 🙂
Fans and Pistons management quit on KCP (I never did). He now has 2 rings and is much respected in the league for his defense and for his 40% shooting from the arc. It takes some time for most young NBA players to find their stroke. Imagine how lethal Ausar will be if he finds his shooting stroke….and given his dedication and work ethic, he may do just that. This is a good, smart kid.
Great analysis as always bro! Thanks, keep it up and continue to rep the city like you do #kuthatdudd #DeeeetroitBasketbaaaaal #313
JD defense AND defensive awareness is nonexistent!! Its only going into his third yr but by this time you usually see where the player is going to be it’s rare after 3yrs a player just turn his weaknesses into his strengths hopefully this is a special case where he can put it together defensively but I’m not that optimistic on him defensively 🤷♂️! I hope I’m wrong tho!!!
