Pre-Season #1 - Pistons@Grizzlies

Cade looks bigger then Reed out there, and that bump, and step back 3 was filthy by Cade. Filthy.

[MortSahlfan]

Ivey looking very shaky.

I don’t think we’ll miss Beasley much at all. DR might not be quite as dynamic a shooter in terms of making tough stuff, but he does a lot more other things well. And he isn’t a child that doesn’t pay his bills.

As for Ivey, even as his biggest detractor, he needs some more time. Nerves, game speed, confidence in his leg and himself, may take a bit. Shouldn’t be married to starting him, though.

[MortSahlfan]

Duncan has a knack for getting the ball, mostly by effort and good anticipation, but unlike Beasley, he's much slower and won't get to his spot as quickly... Beasley played less than 30 minutes and was basically our 2nd leading scorer. I think there's other things he brought - swag/confidence. Humor.

[VicVinegar]

Missed the first half. Sad it sounds like Ivey has rust. Turned it on at halftime and Levert looks terrible.

[ComboGuardCity]

Paul Reed needs to put his headband back on only so I can distinguish him from some of the newer guys. Too many new guys to be changing looks on us!

[Billl]

So, about that backup pg spot…….

The offense has been nonexistent without Cade handling.

I think Beasley will be a big loss from a culture stand point, but duncan was the best option to replace him on court

It was obvious this time last year. Trajan gets Schroder, who was was always needed. We lose him, but we're right back where we were.

KCP being in his 13th year is crazy. It was only 3 years ago we were debating Shamu vs KCP. Right guys!??

[pistons4ever]

I think we will need a traditional backup PG and we are really small ..with Duren Out WE have only 3 real frontcourt players...Stewart, Harris and Reed.....so If WE loose some of these 4 this will be a long , Long season

[tmorgan]

Jenkins is an NBA player.

Klintman is not.

Draft status should buy you a year, maybe two, but never more than that.

[MortSahlfan]

I like Sasser, but he's a 2. I'd play Jenkins. It's not like he'd play a ton of minutes with Cade getting 35-40 per game

I don’t want to overreact but this might be the best Lanier to wear a Pistons uniform

[pistons4ever]

WHO IS Shamu?

[dVs33]

WHO IS Shamu?

I think he ended up getting drafted by Minny and he didn't stick in the league for long.
There were a lot of guys on here that were high on him
