Detroit Pistons’ Offense COLLAPSES as Houston Rockets Blitz Cade Cunningham! |
Detroit Pistons expose shooting woes despite defensive grit in a split homestand, as Cade Cunningham battles injury and creative blitzes. Are roster upgrades essential for playoff success?
Ku Khahil dissects the Pistons’ tough loss to the Houston Rockets—spotlighting how teams’ trapping tactics and Cade’s wrist injury complicate the offense—and celebrates their blowout win over the Sacramento Kings, calling out the Kings’ abysmal defense. With strong showings from Jalen Duren, Ausar Thompson, and Duncan Robinson, the conversation focuses on Detroit’s lack of three-point firepower, JB Bickerstaff’s effective adjustments, and looming trade deadline decisions. Key topics include potential shooter acquisitions, Tom Gores’ owner resilience, and how an upcoming Western Conference road trip could shape Detroit’s strategy in the playoff race.
Will Trajan Langdon make a move to fix Detroit’s shooting and secure their East dominance? Join for expert analysis and all the latest Pistons buzz.

Y is this so late
Pistons need at least two more good players before they will be a serious contender. Two way players only, please. Healthy ones.
1st Listen…..well, at least we just beat Sacramento. 😂
Stay up Ku.
Smaller windows vs good teams. We learn more about us vs them. At the same time in a series you make adjustments every game. We have shooters we just don’t rely on them as much as other teams do. Sass, Jenkins, Lanier, Cade, Duncan, JI, Tobias, Stew and Green can all shoot. I believe they will make meaningful shots in meaningful games.
Been following you since day one. So proud of your growth and consistency! Keep grindin and I’ll keep supporting ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
Deeetroit basketball 🏀
Ku is talking like all defenses are the same. The Rockets have good personnel to match up against us. Also, still the schedule; we were playing far more bad teams earlier. The schedule continues to ramp up. Pistons have done a good job, still winning games. Hopefully they’ve learned enough and melded to keep it rolling.
Ku’s been denying an easy early schedule all season, now looks at upcoming road trip and February and realizes “things are going to get hot”. 😂😂😂😂😂
Sometimes I wonder how OKC won the finals when they were so bad at shooting 3s
For the right price, MPJ is what this team needs.
Cade is backkkk
Looking like a Jedi with that robe bro. Darth Ku now a Jedi 😂
Pistons should call The Kings to see the price for Keegan Murray, he solves both of their problems u speak of.
If we truly want to go deep into the playoffs…We need someone like Max Christie, Trey Murphy III, or Michael Porter Jr!
Cade is not a point guard and he's taking too many shots
Cade is playing too many minutes
20:30 LOUDER FOR THE MORONS IN THE BACKKKKKKKKK
The Pistons are not a great team. They are a good team that's getting better. Great is a stretch.
I disagree this was not a good game. Stew played awful defense and half the team couldn’t make a shot to save their life. This was the worst game the team has played all month i think
