#5 - Pistons@Philly - 7pm ET

Obviously a much needed win. The schedule is tough early, but the team couldn't afford to just let these losses pile up. There are only so many "moral victories" you can have staying close against good teams and then falling short in the 4th.

Anyway, way too early celebration..... Both cade and ivey are shooting 50% from 2 and 40%+ from 3. And while both still have a lot of work to do in terms of defensive consistency, they are both making some plays on that end too. That's going to go a long way towards actually winning some games.

Now , all we need is for ausar to get healthy so they pistons can spend every practice with him and holland aggressively doubling cade. He's going to see that every game until he learns to make teams pay vs turning it over.

What's going on with Paul Reed? Duren fouls out in 11 minutes, Fontecchio is playing like ass, and Reed can't get minutes against his former team?

I feel like Stewart was balling and we still had to feed Tobias, Fontecchio and Holland some minutes

It's irrelevant that Embiid and George missed the game, the Pistons BADLY needed to taste victory before this losing streak got out of control. Confidence is everything for young players, hopefully this helps loosen them up a bit going forward so they can breathe a bit with the win in the pocket and just play their game.

Still need to get a lot more from Fontecchio, what happened to this guy? He went from borderline starter to total scrub.
Duren hasn't had a good start to the season either. Cade and Ivey need more help, the Ausar thing is a problem as well.

I honestly think fontecchio should start and tobias should come off the bench and be that spark plug player. He has a better scoring repertoire compared to fontecchio who is just better at spot 3pt shooting. They are bring him off the bench and asking him to be a scorer instead which imo isn't his game.
