Funniest ad read ever bro I was in actual tears 😂
I think Ron is going to be close to Andre Iguodala but way more energy
I really hope Trajan get either Markannen or Booker
I haven’t seen you this mad since Darth Ku🤣🤣🤣🤣 I watched that ad break several times!!
Pistons seem to have their old spacing issues again and I think that’s why you’re seeing Cade much less in the post—Ausar taking on more of an offense role attacking the rim probably doesn’t help this either (as much as I like the newfound aggression)
Best Gametime commercial ever! Ku you win the Ku-Dos game ball. 😂😂😂😂😂
Is it time for Darth Ku to make an appearance?
i watched to end and i enjoyed it! It was shit but it was like a training ground for the players available! We are missing some decent pieces that help the offence which has been our problem! So i think stay 50/50 for now and get peeps healthy or bring on the next! We are capable and its just the start of a new season!
I was "duped" into ordering Peacock, just to watch the Pistons when they are exclusively on Peacock. I ALREADY Pay for NBA League Pass!!! This was the worst I've ever seen the Pistons play! In fact this is the worst I remember any NBA has ever played!
Even last year, when they started 0 and 4, you could see progress. This year's 2 and 2 looks a WHOLE LOT WORSE than last season's 0 and 4!!!!! Nauseating!
Cleveland been a problem for a few years now especially with Mitchell going there which I don't get we have the better team!
I'm so impressed with how the road commentators have been giving Cade and the Pistons their flowers. That will end very soon if Cade doesn't improve and especially the Pistons.
Cade looking like his playoff run
Donovan better be thankful that someone didn't foul him real hard, watching him run the score up against the Pistons.
Keep ranting, because they deserve it!
Let’s slow down a second. Yes, we are playing poorly at this point, but are still right where I expected at 2-2, and if anyone expected better at this point it was pure optimism. Cade’s slow starts may be due to adjusting to new systems and teammates every single year; yes it should be ironed out preseason but again we have some guys missing.
Cade’s 118 post ups last season averages just about 1.5 per game, so 1 in 4 games is down, but not a huge amount. Cade’s posting up is going to be very match up dependent, so when he has 4 in a couple of games he will be right back on pace.
I agree 4 games is too soon to call for big lineup changes, especially at 2-2, but if things don’t look better soon we can’t wait long otherwise it will look like Monty 2.0 with Killian.
bruh that sponsored part was the best/funniest part of the video and best sponsor ad I've seen! "but hidden fee I did have, was I had to watch the Pistons lose by 30 plus" 😂😂😂
Only left after 2nd because kiddo had school and we had an hour drive home
lol the refs work for fanduel
The whole league looks like trash. So much carrying and stepping. I'm like what the hell is the r3fs watching. Skilless players. Lmao
The fix is in
Y’all need to relax, we’re sitting at .500 after one of the toughest first five games in the league. What’s wild is we’ve been playing below our potential and still breaking even. We’ve had some solid runs, but Cade needs more help. The floor spacing just isn’t there, if Stew and Ron are your best shooters, that’s a problem. Duncan’s in a slump, but Jalen’s been doing his thing on both ends.
Honestly, our bench, Ron and Stew outplaying the starters. I don’t want to see Ausar taking midrange or threes right now; his rhythm is off, and his jumper has no flow at all. Chaz looks like he’s lost confidence, he’s hesitant with the ball. Jenkins doesn’t know how to run an offense; he’s a scorer, not a facilitator. Unc is doing his thing, but he’s got to tighten up on defense. All in all, before we start handing out grades or losing our minds, let’s see how we look after 10 games.
Please detroit fans calm down they will be okay damn it's only been 4 games cade will turn it around especially when Jaden gets back so calm the F down.
A star player should always be ready to go and perform. None of this he starts slow at at the beginning of the season. No excuses! I dont see Mitchell making excuses. Dude balled out. This team looking worse than last year.
Is cade just having some early rust or is he not consistent anymore
No spacing. No shooters.
You know this team is bad when they cant even connect on alley oops
Quit soft glossing this and give it to us straight…lol j/k
this occurring theme of digging ourself out a big lead every game should be very concerning
Gotta shoot Cade some bail, it was a back to back relax.
Cade not the guy yall think I been saying the same shit for years yall so delusional and stuck on him being a 1st round 1st pick yall can’t see clear we never winning anything with him leading this team
We need ku on the coaching staff. We also needed to acquire markannen. Too late now fml
Ads way to long bro killing the content
anyone else done with Daniss Jenkins? bro is a g leaguer
This was unfortunately the first game I was able to watch this season. They looked terrible.
This team is a 7 or 8 seed this season they will have a down year losing Dennis Beasley THJ hurts that was the team chemistry… plus Caris levert looks like a bad signing.. also the ivey injury is hurting the team as well. I call it at the beginning of the season we will have a down year.
I'm not concerned about Cade, I'm concerned he doesn't have help. Obviously he would with JI but the Pistons took a risk on him being healthy and lost. We're back to needing a Shroder type, and Duncan is not going to fill in for Beas in terms of grit/hunger/energy.
I agree with the Javonte green take, I’d easily give his minutes to laneer. Yea chaz is a sg but javonta isn’t really a pf.
We NEED a power forward. I would even start Ron over Tobias tbh.
It's about time we all start acknowledging the fact that every single Cleveland cavalier fan wanted JB fired because of his lack of creativity on offense and how he was so predictable. I know you guys remember but Donovan Mitchell constant ISO with him. When you watch Pistons games it's very easy to tell what's coming next because JB is not creative. We're about to realize the same thing Cleveland did with our coach…
We need Marcus Sasser & Ivey BAD. Duren, Ron, Stew & Ausar have to be disciplined. Cade needs to lead better & stop getting ripped up! JB needs to hold these dudes accountable and pull from bench if they don’t have it. Also, why tf do you not have better actions for when Cade gets in trouble??!
Real coverage right here. That's why i listen to u. They got to get this straightened out. If u see this then coach has to see this.
after that Orlando game, are our "shooters" Green and D.Rob.?
two dudes who can shoot, sometimes….. where's Fred Vincent? I THOUGHT these were the Fred Vincent years, why JD only one looks like he wanna shoot 3's?
