Yeah it’s been awesome, Drummond finally playing the right way for longer then every other couple games has been huge. I was just over him until he went super saiyan. 6 years of lack of effort consistently finally took its toll but he’s really turned it around

I think and hope Andre has really turned the corner. After seeing the response and results from his consistent high level efforts, I can’t imagine him want to feel the wrath of reverting to Dizzy Dre.

I think that’s most of us.

I hope you're wrong. I think he just realizes how we can win and be better. And it saves him a little energy. If need be against the better teams coming up and the playoffs, he can crank it up a notch and make us that much better.

I also hope folks have been tuning into these games. Watching Pistons basketball hasn’t been this fun in a long time.

No idea how sustainable this is (we’re obviously not a .833 team, nobody is) or when it’ll change, but best not to consider it in the moment.

He seems so down on himself when he doesn't make the all star game that he has to see if he plays this way, he's a lock to be on it. Keep it up Andre!

I'm hoping that Blake isn't injured, just dialed back a bit to remain intact for the playoffs instead of taking a game or two off. His example of playing hard seems to have finally rubbed off on a number of players. Letting the rest of the guys develop more chemistry and building up teamwork makes us a much better team and I think he gets that.

Last 12 games? We ain't boutta put a cap on dis sauce.
At the end of the day, it's not about wins and losses. Teamwork, fair play, and good sportsmanship make champions of us all.
