Having followed the Pistons for decades, this video nails it, they are the real deal.😊
Boston
These boys went on a team trip camping this last summer cade I guess organized the whole thing they've been playing together for almost 3 years now and you can see it and how they play that they want to win for each other not for themselves for the whole team it's a mentality they play with heart and grit I love it!
Love your Pistons videos and the style in which you tell the story.
whats going on at 9:41 in the video? does he have a twin ?
I watched their game vs Heat at the studium on Jan 1 and they lost. They showed no energy. How can I trust them?
Detroit is playing play off defense it's deeeeeetroit basket is back
i’ve been telling people. the talent has always been here. all the pieces are fantastic. they just didn’t have a rhythm. they are evolving right before your eyes.
To be honest I was thinking this whole season that New York was still better than the Pistons, but their win on the 5th really proved that Pistons are #1 in the East. My only concern now is a fully healthy Celtics team but the Pistons can take them too (hopefully) 💪
Add in energy and great branch depth in Ron Holland
Detroit win rings when the team mirrors the city, if the team isn’t full of dogs that have the Detroit code where we really dgaf that’s when we win rings
I was really apprehensive about Harris coming back. His first stint with us did not go well and I was pretty thrilled when he went to Philly. But he's completely remade himself as the "Unc" of this Pistons team. He's taken a step back to allow the younger talent to shine, while also giving sage advice from a guy who's done it for 15 years. While his stats and performance have dipped a bit, he's more than made up for it by being a totem for this young team.
Too bad Smith's yapper is part of this.
I hear the ai all over this script
Where are you from?! Thanks for being a pistons fan! They're some nasty dogs this year
Biggest competition might be Boston, especially if they play better when Tatum comes back
Good shit.
Deeeetroit basketball!!!!!! All am saying
Another Beast Growing in
The D…..
DETROIT BASKETBALL
I watch just about every game.
My favorite games are when a bunch of the starters are out. I'm a fan thinking, "Cool, let's so bring it with half of our second-string starting." They got caught by the Clippers the other night, but way more often than not, these are the most entertaining games of the season and you see the fire with the second unit.
Now, when the playoffs start, I hope everyone is healthy. However, right now, I don't mind if it says Cade isn't playing or this or that player or these four players aren't playing. I kind of hope to hear someone is out because this team thrives on that stuff. I bet they have a better record without Cade playing right now – and maybe a couple of other guys. The defense and the desire remains. That win streak earlier this year was built by the depth. A ton of those games key starters missed a huge number of games.
Wait until they get the defensive credit they deserve from the refs fully. Detroit still gets called for a ton of fouls. That's going to change when their rep continues to get stronger. Refs can't call everything and eventually they won't. What are opponents going to do when Detroit's personal foul rate goes down to about 20 (about three less than they commit right now)? Opponents won't be bailed out as much offensively.
I'd like to see them pick up one more perimeter shooter for the bench. Other than that, this is one of those few situations where I don't want to see my local Detroit team make a crazy trade move. And that person must invest in the defensive culture.
DEEEEEEEETRRRROIIIIITTTTT
Nice plug. Go Pistons
