They were practically sewing jerseys together for guys who had only been with the team for days and we won

When Glenn goes for interviews, he’s just going to show highlights from all his patched together defenses.

Schedule gets way harder and usually gets harder as the season goes deeper as better teams start separating from the worse teams. I see 1 game in the next 9 that they have an honest shot at winning. I think it's going to get ugly and fast, they just don't have the talent to sustain winning for long. They're better than last year, hard to be worse, but still a long ways to go to be considered in contention for a playoff spot and even play-in might be ambitious as there's only 4 other teams in the east that the Pistons are close to level or better than, Wizards, Raptors, Hornets and Nets. The other teams should separate eventually.


Nice call.
So I'm sure that 1 win in the next 9 games was last nights huh hahaha

I’d love to get Ayo Dusonmu on the team to play pg. I think he’s a sleeper with a hidden gear that we haven’t seen yet and could flourish if given the reins. Issue is what would Chicago want for him and further more, what would that mean for Ivey? That’s an awfully small rotation of 1-3.

For as much as Ivey has grown I just don’t think he’s a great player to have on a team since his defence is still bad, and that’s always going to pigeon hole rotations since it means you would need better defenders on the court which we don’t have unless we crater the offence. Imo he should be brought off the bench as a super 6th man.

But yeah this team needs more creation and I think Ayo is a helluva player which could be that guy.

Big fan of Ayo as well. Would love to have him. Very solid.
