Interesting. I'll have to price compare between that and League Pass.

I like our chances a bit better now with Shröder off our bench.
Siakam is the guy that would kill us. Ausar, Holland too small for him and Tobias not good enough. Maybe we unleash our secret weapon Basketball Paul on him lol


Turner is the one that kills them, Duren can't cover stretch bigs.
Turner is a good player but he turns into a superstar against the Pistons. Hailburton and Siakam will get theirs but when Turner is also going off, it makes it a very tall task to beat those guys. Hopefully the now more confident Duren would make it more difficult on Turner should they meet in the playoffs.

I think nba league pass is a couple dollars cheaper so not sure what the Amazon value prop is

League Pass (first time paying for it this year, been watching a lot of Houston, Denver, Orlando, San Antonio, etc) doesn't allow me to watch the Pistons they are blacked out.

Ahh makes sense. This is for people who live in Michigan and don’t want to deal with cable/fan duel

30-22 in our last 52, thats a .577 percentage. If we continue that level througgt these last 26 contests we'll finish with 45 wins.
Just "eeking" past the Vegas win total number of 25.5, just eeking by I say.

Yeah I have the NBA pass on Roku (I don’t have cable) and to me Amazon would need to be cheaper, not more expensive, to be competitive.

Re: Pistons playoff tracker. 6TH SEED. 31-26 6-game win streak. 

Post#133 » by bstein14 » Mon Feb 24, 2025 12:09 pm

Four game home stretch coming up for the Pistons is going to be tough.
Clippers Mon 24th (B2B)
Celtics Wed 26th
Nuggets Fri 28th
Nets Sat Mar 1st (B2B)

Then they move onto their last west coast trip of the year.
@ Utah
@ LAC
@ GSW
@ POR (B2B)


I know we've been playing great lately, but we've actually been a better road team this year than home team. If we can manage to go 4-4 on this 8 game stretch it will be great.

Bucks have their hardest stretch of the year coming up in @HOU, vsDEN, @DAL, @ATL, vsDAL, vsORL, vsCLE, @IND, vs LAL

Hopefully we can at least hold our 6th spot over this stretch.

I’m fine with 4-4 over the next 8, but honestly, we could easily win 5 or 6. Three of the eight are relative cupcakes… if we beat the Nets, Jazz and Blazers, we just need one decent win for 4. We could get 2.

Cades game last night.(VS Hawks)

Never seen a team, so determined to stop another player. Absolutely crazy the double/triple teams, at half-court for Cade. Man Cade was unreal.

Nets are 7-3 in their last 10 they've been much better since they cut Ben Simmons. Portland also has a winning record (6-4) over their last 10 games. Both are playing better (at the moment) than a typical post AS break tanking team.

Up 3.5 games on Orlando now to avoid the play-in.

Let’s keep it going and give Minnesota a mediocre pick to cap their stupid KAT trade.

Only 10 teams, 5 per conference, with better win % now. Pick is 19th and fading….

That'll change after the next 2 games.

Boston then Denver is a hell of a task for a young, up and coming team, after winning 7 in a row. If they manage to win one of these ill be ecstatic.

Return to Detroit Pistons
