Nice to have some reasonable ration of fun basketball back. It had been a long drought.

Ausar's offense is showing some nice progress around the basket and into the midrange. His average 3 attempt makes any success seem a miracle of chance. Ron doesn't get enough credit for playing solid team ball on both offense and defense, and giving pretty consistent overall production as a 19 YO rookie in modest minutes. Holland might be a reliable jump shot from superstardom. 'Try hard' is both Ausar and Ron's secret sauce.
The team benefits from having one of these rangy aggressive defenders on the floor most of the game. You can see opponents getting annoyed at their pressure.
Sadly, Sasser struggled in this game. I was hoping he could keep his hot streak alive a while longer. He needs to make the most of these minutes.

'Detroit Dawgs?' :wink: :lol:

What a game. Love this team. Said it before, saying it again, can we just bring all these guys back?

I realize I’m way late on this one, but wow. Cade out, their starting backcourt goes for almost 60, all while they’re going for their 60th win.

We honestly have a shot at the 3 seed, and I doubt anyone is looking forward to the Pistons being their first round matchup

I’ll be disappointed, but still impressed overall, if we don’t win at least one playoff series. Which feels INSANE to say

Return to Detroit Pistons
