Boston better find someone bigger for Tobias

Ausar has been great in this one on defense and out into transition... off ball movement, rebounding, etc.

He's been bringing the ball up all game against Boston tonight initiating the offense... With Cade coming off screens off ball. Not sure if JB doesn't want Cade to have to go full court against Brown matchup wise or if this will be something we see more and more of.

Many don’t want to hear it, but you must make a trade for another scorer if there’s a trade to be made. I’ll leave it at that.

As soon as Pistons stopped jacking up 3's and taking 2's, they build a double-digit game after being down/tied.

Levert is ass! Damn, we're going to have to add two 1st to get rid of him!

If Brown is going to keep facegaurding Cade, he should just jog around for a few possessions know and then having everyone setting picks as he goes. Body his arse.

Ok. I settle for MVP and Stew, Auser or Holland can have the DPOY same year.

They can't shoot at all. There's no way winning is sustainable long term the way this team shoots

Gonna need Cade to start making some shots

Neptune · Post #33 » by **Neptune** » Tue Jan 20, 2026 2:48 am

Brown playing some good defense on Cade. Someone else gotta go off

MortSahlfan · Post #34 » by **MortSahlfan** » Tue Jan 20, 2026 2:48 am

Cade needs another proven scorer who can play defense. Boston is going to our rival. But most teams suck compared to us, and winning gets fans to forget this....

I still would rather see Jenkins than Levert play the backup 1... I also don't believe in "showcasing" - doesn't set a good example for the team and potential players coming in.

Can't let Boston get hot from 3 given there's no chance we can match them from the perimeter.

MortSahlfan · Post #36 » by **MortSahlfan** » Tue Jan 20, 2026 2:57 am

Piston defenders need to stay on their feet. All year they get off their feet and leave opponents shooting wide open jumpers.

BadMofoPimp · Post #37 » by **BadMofoPimp** » Tue Jan 20, 2026 3:06 am

Nobody knows what to do and everyone going iso, so ole Tobias has had to take over. Need more ball movement.

MortSahlfan · Post #38 » by **MortSahlfan** » Tue Jan 20, 2026 3:07 am

Go to Tobias.. If they double - we've got cutters like Ausar to dunk, Duncan to shoot, etc.

Careless LeVert mannnn

Cade’s been awful…
