It seems that OKC is coming back down to earth. I think it’s the Spurs one has to watch.
Cade sent a clear message to the Knicks
Great 2 game stretch. 2 nights in a row!!!
The Pistons are the TRUTH! If you didn’t know, now you know!!!
Pistons have a very strong defensive team
I don't ever wanna hear a thing about the Knicks being contenders or Brunson being better than Cade
anyone remember Darth Ku from 2 seasons ago? Ku's gotta be elated lol we've come along way in just a few years. pistons could be finals bound.
Defense wins championships. It’s just that simple!!!
They should trade cade and duren and Stewart for Draymond green
Cade > Luka
this was a huge win for sure, as was the cavs win. but i still think the pistons could use another shooter in the starting lineup. i still the halfcourt offense leaves a little to be desired. it was masked today by Cade hitting everything, and the Knicks are not playing good defense right now. but i think if there was another shooter to pair with duncan, cade, duren and ausar this team could win the championship this year.
5-0 without duren and +12 net rating. 12-1 without tobias with a +9 net rating.
can we talk about how a third stringer is defending mobley and kat better than duren ever will? is duren worth all the money when hes sketchy. im shocked every game that reed plays so good both defensively and offensively and gets DNP next game. hes only 26 and hes legit culture player
My boy Whooooo!
It's so funny how the pistons plays so much better without a certain lighskin dude in the starting line up playing the 4
Great Pod Ku. Thanks mate
We better than the Thunder. I SAID IT
Bro, this game and video right here got me hyped! And JB talking about 18 deep already had my hyped. This is like fresh Cloverleaf pizza level excited.
Beef Stew is a defensive wall… I watched the whole game and lost count how many times he alternated the knicks shots or made them pass out. 🔥
Nah Detroit gotta chill tf out my boys, how we Dog walkn the knicks? I enjoyed every moment of this game except for the finish, I’d hate the boys take this as an over achievement. We still want blood for making us sit out and watch from home while our boys watched shattered in pieces. We want it all, ain’t nothing gonna fix this void. Give me 20 in a row, ya’ll believe in God? Then do it
Yeah Cade had a point to prove no 🧢
I was at LCA last season when we hosted OKC, a referee throws Cade out the game in 4th quarter stopping them from winning that game. The Pistons are a better team than OKC when respect from the referees is equal between both teams
Jaden ivey was giving them boys that work to helped close out the game
I was so glad they didn’t let them back into it as well. Absolute statement win.
