We needed this after the last two games getting dominated.

But man this Det team is shockingly bad. They have a utter lack of basketball IQ and skill. They have athletes but minimal skill and absolutely no know how. No chemistry whatsoever. Det fans deserve better. Their young guys don’t pass the eye test.

Honestly, it’s because the pistons are that good. Don’t look at this win too deeply.

I know the Pistons aren’t good. But we’ve been down key players all season and we’re about to be 15-7.

Cant understand why Cade Ivey and Twin cant work out.

They need trades but also need to be careful to not give up on the right talent. Tough position to be in.

Yep or else they could end up like the Magic trading Oladipo, Sabonis, & Tobias Harris for nothing

Sabonis was never a magic, and Harris and Victor are quite overrated.

This Pistons defense is terrible but these are some nice cuts

Cole has had some beautiful passes this half. Really good vision and playing within the offense.

The team in general has played a much more cohesive looking game with excellent ball movement. I can’t tell how much is us and how much is Detroit allowing us.

Glad they took the Pistons serious at least, was scared they would let them hang around like the Wizards

The main thing I saw tonight was effort on defense throughout and not this we're good enough to try to turn it on when we feel like it approach.

Yes, the record is amazing but I really don’t think this win says anything about our depth. The pistons are just that bad.

that said really looking to your future, i can't wait for you guys and the pacers to give teams like the bucks and celtics trouble in the playoffs.

I feel for you guys. I just listened to the guy on Locked-On Pistons melting down this morning. He seemed to put all the blame on Weaver.

Sabonis was never a magic, and Harris and Victor are quite overrated.

He may never have put the jersey on, but he was on the team. Victor and Tobias in their prime were good players. Ibaka trade was an even bigger travesty than Mario, Fran and Chuma combined.

Get Franz out and get Jett in plz.

Rainwater · Post #192 » by **Rainwater** » Sat Dec 9, 2023 2:07 am

It’s cruel to the pistons to have Franz still out there lol. It’s unnecessary.

Jett getting ready for takeoff
