Yes, Wemby is HIM. Yes, Spurs are THEM.
Yeah Wemby the goat after this year bruh
I need to remind yall what happened last year in the playoff , Cade was not performing at a high level at all
the spurs rolled up on detroit and won on a 9 game win streak rn they are the best team in the league
I do think Pistons are a championship team but they are easily beatable
Didn't the Spurs beat them 3 times with Shai? And Wemby on a minutes restriction? Max was right. This dude has absolutely 0 hot takes.
I disagree Detroit is not the best team in the league respectfully they are one of them but not the best you take away cade they can't win and in the playoffs that what teams are going to do
I hope we get a Spurs v Wolves matchup in the playoffs, I need the Face of the League debates over
Put some respect on castles name shut down that boy UConn stand up
That new host ain't bad looking at all
Wemby has the chance to be the best player ever, he must elevate his iq and physicality to do that, but as is, they can win it all right now if he holds up. Their team is loaded with selfless players
WTH is Sas talking about 😂
Just blabbing, droning on about nothing making excuses
Gianiss coming to Detroit the summer is the solution. It is the only way we can beat the west elite. 👽 Go Pistons!!!
It’ll be difficult for the Pistons in the playoffs because they don’t have a 2nd scorer and Duren & definitely Stewart are hot heads and so – fouls will be called quickly – don’t see them getting past the 2nd round
Im a Spurs fan and even I gotta admit saying OKC isn't a top 8 team without SGA is disrespectful.
Shae is my Queen 😍👸🏼❤️🔥
@steven A Castle shut him down 😂
Can we get a replacement for Stephen a? Never seeen someone know less ball than skip bayless
The New York Knickerbockers are the best team in the NBA because they won the NBA Cup Championship! Until they are dethrone per NBA champion is crowned
SAS… make sure to pack your shorts and flip flops come June cuz you’ll be spending some time SATX.
As a pistons fan, we're looking at another first round exit. We're a good team, but The pistons need another legit 3 point scorer. Without that there is no chance they're getting out of the first round. The regular season isn't like the playoffs. You're going to get everyone's best. And this is not the time to start losing games sitting atop of the east especially in the second half There is no one outside cade, and there are times he won't play his best. At the same time there is no one else cade can depend on for consistent buckets. Trajan first mistake was sitting pat at the trade deadline. Pistons are in win now mode. this is a brad holmes type of move, and it's not a good one which is why the lions missed their super bowl window. Trajan please don't make the same mistake
I hate the “experience” talking point nobody has the experience first time doing something or trying to accomplish something
SAS said spurs shooting dries up, did he not see the game? Pistons couldn’t hit water if they fell off a boat
Wait till plumlee gets ready to play.. also the Spurs have won without Victor
Every time they start calling a guy "face of the league," misfortune befalls them.
It’s just another step in their growth.
Why does cade have to handle wemby dudes a point guard
Can we please get all these women out sports talk. It seems like there’s more women in sports media than men now. They’re annoying af
Stephen a did not answer the question at all and that is a bad take about the Thunder
Mind you I’m a big wemby fan but they said the same thing about Yao Ming. Hope the best for him.
Who cares about what the pistons are doing to the Knicks now. Cavs and Boston swept the Knicks last year with beatdowns, was anyone of them in the conference finals last year??
👽🇫🇷
This may be the first nba finals in happy about since 2022
Stephen A Smith scared to crtiticize pistons because he scared he might triggered them and get physical with the knicks during playoffs
Ayeee MM is in Cleveland!!
Nah Devin wont be steph curry everyday they won mainly cause he was playin like steph
What does right now mean, Stephen A…?
Bad Boyz: the second coming
Monica needs to get married & change that last name. McNutt. 😮. She got punished in high school
Might as well become a piston fan Stephen
7-36 from 3. Missed a lot of wide open 3s like easy makes that’s not happening back to back game. All the other teams have to do everything perfect to win the pistons just have to hit 5 more 3s a game and it’s close or a blowout.
Uhh.. the pistons have a secondary scorer.. feed duren the ball as much as shaq teams did
Is this the same spurs that beat okc 4out of 5 games and you're saying they're not better..Stephen ahole stop talking out your rear😅
San Antonio is the best team in the NBA they showed the world last night
SAS wud bring someone on with a hairline similar to his so the jokes not all on him
If you the Detroit bandwagon hop off if you over react to one game ggs to the spurs yall played better this game 🤝🏼
Pistons had a bad shooting night, nothing else. It happens! If the spurs D is so phenomenal why do they have 16 losses.
