Re: Pistons-Jazz (7pm)
I am intrigued by the Duren/Stew pairing, so I might watch this one if I am not busy.

Duren and Stew having some fun out there for sure to start this one. Ivey with some really nice assists early as well.

it's pretty important to have two rim protectors if you're doing a switch-heavy scheme. you can scram switch as much as you want but there's still going to be a bunch of scenarios where you have one of your wings or guards as the low men trying to defend the rim against much bigger players.
having two rim protectors makes that happen a lot less and it leads to less mismatches overall. there's no wonder why more and more teams are trying it. it's definitely one of the more intriguing things to watch for the pistons this season.

Trying to set the record for most fouls on three pointers in a game.

Stew had a real nice block. Duren with several strong plays inside. Some good stuff here.
Ivey looking like a future star in this one.

Re: Pistons-Jazz (7pm)
Ivey's looking really good in this game. He scored at all 3 levels with ease.

Killian Hayes is still clueless during transition, I don't know about the rest but he still have to improve a lot of things

Is Killian broken again?

Maybe I am the problem? When I don't watch he plays well, when I do he is back being a complete joke.
Even with Duren and Ivey playing well, I can't watch it. 1 quarter of this Killian Hayes is all I can take at this point.

Re: Pistons-Jazz (7pm)
No. A broken Killian won't shoot at all. Also, that tech on Hayes was so weak.
I really wish the Piston had a strong owner, who would be vocal about things like that.

Well if you're all about the youth movement we had Ivey with a great night and Jalen Duren with yet another double double. We just couldn't slow down Markkanen at all he torched us like KD.

Re: Pistons-Jazz (7pm)
Man, nothing exposes our defensive ineptitude as much as a big like Lauri. He humiliated us today.
These 2-8 triple-single type games from Killian are still too common…

Re: Pistons-Jazz (7pm)
This was an ugly one once Utah really started pouring it on, and yes Snakes is right, Finlandia really did humiliate the team as a whole.
I'm starting wonder how the team is going to finish up. I've done some preliminary browsing on several teams, and bad 4 years stretches, and so far, the Pistons are on track to have perhaps the worst 4 year stretch for any franchise ever. I haven't checked all the teams yet, but man its been maybe the worst 4 years stretch ever a fanbase has had to endure. Absolutely cannot have another year like this one next year. It would be unprecedented.

It's not just me, then! I missed his good games, and all I have is the smell of Killian stench.
It was nice to see Ja*en do well.
