  • Duren is going to be awesome, youngest player in the league

Fun game, disappointing result, but good to watch


Ideal result. Maybe a little closer would have been better, but losses are what the Pistons want.

I don’t think we can expect much fast improvement this season. Our best players are 2nd and 1st year shot creators. Both look like the real deal but it will take time for them to become consistent and lift the offense.
It’s the same for defense but might be worse. No one can stay in front of their man, it doesn’t even seem like they know how to do it and the penetrators get in so easy that the rotations(which are really bad by the rest of the team) allows easily layups and wide open 3s. No one seems like they have a defensive nature yet other than Stewart who is left out to hang by bad wing defense so much it’s hard to tell what’s his fault. Maybe Duren but way to early to tell and he jogs coming back from offense to much. I love my Pistons defense.

I’m fine with the offense growth but it can be hard to watch the defensive effort game after game.
Nice to know then are about to be in LA. I’ll go to one of them.

We can't have two bad players?

I liked this more squared up jump shooting Hayes but excuse me if I need a couple of months of actually making shots before I believe it. Hayes 1.0 was the worst offensive player in the league - by a far margin. Hayes 2.0 looks pretty good at 1 game.

I'm fine with Bey doing weird stuff. It helps the tank and maybe Bey figures it out. By February he will need to decide if he wants to be a 7th man, inefficient chucker or a 5th starter that can knock down shots.



Part of this is on Bey, but his strengths also just don't match up well in that starting lineup. He's a fourth option out there and an exploitable mismatch on defense every time down. Part of his inconsistency is on him, part of just the role he has. It's too bad he doesn't have a nose for rebounding. It would solve a lot of his issues.

Hayes at least no longer looks like the worst player in the NBA. If he has some modicum of offensive game, he'll at least be in the league for a few more years. That said, his body of work still speaks for itself. It would lovely to think all this patience with him actually manifests into a winning NBA player.

After a terrible 5 games start, where he was Killian Hayes level of bad from 3, Stewart has been shooting 40% from 3. Teams are leaving him wide open and begging him to shoot, but if he keep this up, they'll need to start respecting him, which should help Cade and Ivey a lot.

Lol, that's such a huge relief. I was worried I'd already gotten into a fight after 1 day of posting again after such a long break from the forum
Lol no worries, no fight from me.
