Bold prediction: Pistons will be the 1 seed.
The last few years even last year we wouldn’t have won this game that’s growth and good coaching
I think we should pump the brakes a bit, was only a week ago they were down almost 40 to the cavs at home. Need to wait and see how they go against the better teams.
Ja is gutless and Cade showed he was by far the best player on the court. 2 way Cade is my favourite Cade
I'm thrilled to see Stewart playing PF and getting the opportunity to bring the three point shot back into his game. Developing his ability to spread the floor is the key to his success, and also very important for the Pistons.
Duren trying to out talent bigs like JJJ and Mobley wasn’t working like it did against Goga Bitaze and Dwight powell.
Asar in my honest opinion is not even about his poor free throw shooting.He can't even shoot from anywhere on the court period lol
We need to think about two bigs – JD and Stew – in starting lineup when we face bigger teams. Stew has been efficient against starting bigs even from good teams.
This team looks super will get better 2 holland only 20 years old duran 21 wow. Yes cunningham huge great when he gets assists 2 wow.
Drummond was the player before Cade that we drafted and got better every year💪🏾
Troy Weaver blessed us.
Grizzlies are a BAD team…lead by JA!!!!!!! J.Wells was AWFUL!!!!!!!!! as well. Nothing to get excited about!
He gotta make them free throws
Who would have thought outta the 3 Stewart Hayes n Bay Stewart was the best n had the most potential
How could you not mention ausar aka austat on defense bro had like 6 steals and 2 blocks smothering ja all night
1st Listen. Great win. It's been a minute since we beat Memphis. Let's keep it going.
Yea, Troy didn't always have the best coaches. Especially when he didn't get a chance to pick one. Yea, Troy wasn't the best in free agency, but maybe Troy had a vision we never saw by drafting who he did draft that stuck. Beef Stew, Duren, Ausar, Cade, (hopefully Ivey) and Sasser. Definitely the core that has come to be a pretty good force in this league going forward. Hopefully Langdon and JB can continue to build on Troy's vision. Any hate towards Troy at this point is just plain hate for no reason.
If Harris ever leave Stew should be are starting PF 💯
Loved seeing Stew start at 4. Even when Tobias is healthy I love this line up and I think Tobias would be great off the bench. Less minutes but more usage while on the floor. His age and his game I think it would be perfect especially if we could get a little more shooting off the bench.
Early thing to talk about, we haven't lost to any team outside of the central, we have not won a game vs the Central
Levert is a disaster (as Ku suggested in an earlier post). The second he enetered the game to back up Cade, the Grizzlies ran off 12 straight points to end the 3rd quarter and initiate their come back. Bickerstaff apparently talked the Pistons into picking up his former Cav's player–who was not better there. Trade or even waive him so Bickerstaff is forced to let a real point guard (Jenkins) back up Cade.
The inner mitten approves of this message
Before I'm gonna listen for even a minute, allow me to bitch about that bullshit tech on Ausar.
I was a better free throw shooter in 6th grade than Ausar and I was on the B team and our school sucked. I can’t wrap my head around being that bad at free throws
Cade took another step yesterday. You can see it. His confidence is up. Good for us ☝️
Ku, Brook Lopez is by far the worst rebounding big man in NBA history. 7 feet and never average a 9 a game. 😂
Glad we are winning, but like you said, with the schedule we are right where I expected. We all need to keep winning the games we should and working on things that need fixing so we are even better for the more difficult back half of the schedule. Ausar needs to find a way to shoot at some point.
When Ivey come back 100 percent and if Malik somehow get back on the roster on top of Cade destroying everything in his path already with Stew JD and Ausar shredding things in pieces this team will easily be number one I the east…….book it bet your food stamps child support card whatever you got 💵 I will take it lol 😂
Seeinf Stew'a growth has been pretty cool.I always saw Stew as a core piece wirh a ceiling as a Draymond Green type. Similar size and physicality, even attitude on the court as an enforcer type. Since then, he's shown he can shoot the 3 one season. Showef he can rebound and protect thw paint well and even guard 1-5 pretty well.
way to be a good husband Ku, communication is key, setting a good example for the rest of us….oh sh–, D.Rose is my dude, that ASG intro 😍😍😍
There's actually a really dope video about how jjj can't rebound. I forget who it's by, but just search jaren Jackson Jr can't rebound on YouTube and it'll come up. I was upset with how landale did against us. And I think they out rebounded us as a team, and that sucks.
