I think the deep rotation keeps us fresh, its like taking nights off without doing so. As long as we winning I think everyone is happy.
If we got kyrie for cheap I think we win it all next year
Last time I was looking at the pod it was the opposite when you guys had the insane losing streak
A move needs to be made to consolidatesome of the talent. The team looks out of sorts trying to accommodate too many guys.
we really need to give ron a credit for his given minutes today. he caused the chaos out there, created two jump ball situation and give pistons opportunity for both of them. loved to see that.
We gotta get Jenkins minutes
pacers ran 10 deep and made the finals. If someone not named cade or duren is off they can sit
This dude sucks.Gibberish. Talks too fast.
I was at this game in Indianapolis, and one of my favorite moments was seeing the Pacers fans’ reactions to Jenkins rejecting Huff 😂
pretty sure you uploaded the pod yesterday, not sure what ur seeing
1968 Tigers 35-5 =.872 / 2025 Pistons 15-2 = .882 The Pistons are now Detroit sports all-time early season champs.
1st Listen. 13 straight. What up Ku. You know I think Denis Jenkins showed the coaching staff enough to where they sat him to let Ivey knock that rust off and because Levert was having a good game. I believe Jenkins will be in the rotation. Word up!! Stay up Ku ✌🏾
Yesss sirrr
Salute from Brazil Pistons fans. Let's go.
That was an ugly game. I will take a win but no one should feel good about that one
Gat to play Jenkins
Ku needs to do the podcast as Yoda or Obi Wan Kenobi, because what the Pistons are doing now is the opposite of when Darth Ku covered them! 😂
Get rid of Tobias ASAP
easy way to fix the rotation would be to trade 2-3 guys for one guy who’s more fitting for our team identity. Caris gets hot and has length on D but can’t play PG, Rons tenacious but also had regressed in some ways. Daniss is a great back up PG but you can’t justify him playing over dudes that are getting paid. Ivey is looking better but he’s lost on defense sometimes. Tobias looks old af some nights and great some nights. We have assets, we can cash in, solve rotational minutes, and maybe upgrade overall by taking this route. Chemistry is a valid reason for not cashing in but also, these lineups are so clunky at times. There’s gotta be a guy out there who checks all these boxes without having to play so many dudes for various reasons. I fw MPJ, Tari Eason, Melo, Diabate, Coby white, JJJ to name a few
We got to give Duncan Robinson his flowers for his big improvement on defense
Just 2 years is crazy. It’s Cade growth.
