the mavs 2024 went from not making the playoffs to the finals, and don't tell me about the 2022 that was a completely different roster
C'mon with the ig model filters… slater looks especially ridiculous
Windy, a grown man who appears on TV every day, says "you know" 2 or 3 times EVERY SENTENCE, as if he's a 14 y/o teenager girl
Like this trio over Bontemps and MacMahon
Detroit and LCA in general is awesome! Hope you get a chance to visit!
Windy always gives me the vibe that he doesn't want to talk about the Pistons. Let alone give them any praise.
Vince Goodwill has nothing to offer NBA fans. Since his days as a beat writer for the Pistons, he constantly had NO INSIGHTS and just played the company yes man. Same on this show. Smile and nothing to say. But he does fit in with ESPN where being not so bright works.
13:20 they screwed the Pistons last year with officiating
Kon deserves mention
People love to forget that the refs blatantly stole game six for the Knicks last year – cheating all of us out of a game 7 at MSG. The NBA literally apologized immediately after that game for their "mistake." The Piston's approach to playing the Knicks this year shows they don't intend to let those games stay close enough for the refs to rob them again this year.
As a black man, the black guy on here is my least favourite type of black guy. Always say the black guy or black this black that. Stop trying to get approval from these guys
This dude forgot he named his son after himself 😂
KD not even on top10 mvp is DISGUSTING
2028 Team USA (12):
GUARDS (5): Anthony Edwards, Tyrese Haliburton, Cade Cunningham, Stephon Castle, Jaylen Brown
WINGS (4): Cooper Flagg, Jayson Tatum, Jalen Johnson, Kevin Durant
BIGS (3): Bam Adebayo, Chet Holmgren, Jalen Duren
SLEEPERS: De’Aaron Fox, Amen Thompson, Zion Williamson, Michael Porter Jr., Kon Knueppel, Austin Reeves, Devin Booker, Joel Embiid, Kawhi Leonard, Jalen Brunson, Tyrese Maxey, Darius Acuff, Jr., Carlos Boozer, AJ Dybantsa
I love seeing so much Vinnie G on ESPN.
Also GPS says Gratiot a few different ways, but never the right way.
Not gonna be a big game with all of the Cavs being injured.
I listened to this here podcast.
Chet is essential for 2028 team.
These guys don't watch Lions football, and that's fine, they are NBA guys. But the Lions have been the most injured team in football the last two years, they haven't blown anything.
Thanks Brian for having two guys that don't argue with each other half of the podcast!
The best 5-6 players in the world are not american but from 6to 50 are maybe 40 out of 45 , so te usa team should always win . Its jokic and a bunch of non nba players , luka and non nba players giannis and non nba players , sga etc
Actually they say San Francisco is the Paris of the US
Now with Cade at the helm and LCA seasoned, Detroit has a chance to become a basketball epicenter for the next 5 years. We showed our a$$ on Monday with the lack of shooting. That will be addressed in the offseason. Everyone is young, we’ve got a Final Four next year & I would assume an All Star weekend is in the mix. Cade is going to be the first 3-Time title winner in Piston history. He’s it.
Anthony Slater sucks but Vince is cool
KD should stay home. Let the young guys play grandpa
What the hell were you guys talking about the first segment? Pretty bad.
This nationalistic stuff reminds me of Canadian NHL pundits 20 years ago. It's the same in any sport that goes international. It might not be yet, but the US nearing the end of their domination. The US may continue have the best individual players, but other countries want to beat the USA. Probably more now than ever.
Jokic getting back inshape just was hurt take some time the nuggets haven't been healthy whole season Gordon still hurt he was balling that only issue having injuries type season
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸. I remember I used to read your column every time you put one out
50:27 😂 Vince is funny as hell lowkey.
shai back sit down kids the grown ups are back
"Detroit is the Paris of the United States" – Vince Eric Adams Goodwill
In regard to the Pistons (and Spurs), ESPN and others keep mentioning no team making the leap to the NBA Finals after missing the Playoffs the year before (or getting ousted in the first round after missing them forever) outside of the Magic of the 1990s. Didn't the Phoenix Suns do it in 2020-2021? I'm surprised people keep forgetting as it wasn't SO long ago. I mean, they lost, but still…
thst Paris / Detroit bit was the best part of today show, well done
