Oh naw. The series clearly not over, but I know where my team is in the process. This ain't a championship contender yet. Pot still got some simmering to do and some key ingredients to add, but I can definitely see the recipe coming together. Got the potential to be some gourmet shyt long as they don't fukk it up. Y'all can't put us away for shyt.

This exactly why I wanted them to play the Knicks in the playoffs. They get the full playoff experience this way. All games on prime time, no NBATV shyt. So the current strengths and weaknesses all fully exposed and they test themselves against a good team that's not really a contender to see how they measure up. And they riiiight there. A few tweaks here and there and I would give them an A. Right now it's solid B+. This is with 1 4th year soon to be All NBA player, a few journeyman vets, and rookie to 3rd years with great potential as the main cast. Our 2nd best offensive threat not even playing. Giving 2 all NBA nikkas and a bunch of high dollar nikkas all they can fukking handle. I fukking love it :wow: And this ain't no disrespect to the Knicks or y'all fans. I like the shyt talking going on in this series wit us. Another reason why I wanted this matchup.
Yall about to give Duran the full rookie extension?

I'm not sure yet. Don't have a full understanding on how Trajan likes to move yet. I can see that he understands roster building much better than Weaver ever did. My guess would be that it's more likely he will than he won't. His chemistry with Cade, role as a leader on the team, and still developing talent are the main reasons I think it happens, I just don't think it'll be a max.

This thread got more beef than the rockets-warriors. I thought we were goin be the only live Series thread based off the history but something brewing with these two fanbases. These nigguhs been goin all night:russ:
It's all jokes with me :hubie: I will say, while we have some unfinished business with the Pacers, a Knicks-Pistons rivalry would be far more fun to see than Knicks-Hawks or Knicks-Pacers. I genuinely enjoy watching this Pistons team

Y'all in that exciting phase where you got a bunch of YNs that are clearly not afraid of the spotlight and are clearly not about to get bullied. Rare combo in today's league. Cats love to say "The league is better when the Lakers, Knicks, Celtics, and Bulls are good", but the Pistons belong in that convo with y'all history.

With that said, fukk you nikkas :unimpressed:

Yeah same here. I said from jump I'm here for the laughs, and y'all one of the few fan bases on here with some legit funny posters without being too weird. Plus these have been some good ass games, including the arena atmospheres.






And a jolly good fukk y'all too :salute:

That's the cool thing about this series to me. So many people getting introduced to what this young Pistons team is. Yeah, some people heard about Cade this season, but they weren't really familiar with his game because Pistons didn't get but 3 nationally televised games, so you had to be a real hoop head to even be familiar with our star. And the team overall. And the media liked to talk about the narrative of the turnaround and Stewart and nikkas liking to scuffle, but they never really understood.

These nikkas ain't got no quit or bytch in them. They done been through a hell of a storm with last season and they got an unrivaled resilience because of it. It's why I wanted to legit laugh at the notion that they were just gonna roll over and quit after that 4th qtr collapse in game 1, like they broke these nikkas spirit or something. I been listening to a lot of NY media and fans and sooo many legit thought that. Even during this last game they were talking about breaking the game open when the Knicks made their runs. These young nikkas ain't gone break and they gone be right there fighting until the 00's on the clock. They've climbed the ranks to one of my favorite Pistons teams to watch damn near off heart alone, and they still got talent too. Love the coming out party it's been for them on a national level. And it's still Pistons in 6 on y'all bytch ass Knickerbockers:martin::russ:

Breh, Cade's game is a breath of fresh air in today's NBA. A young nikka that actually plays for the mid-range shot and has a hefty bag of moves to get those shots off. I seen Carmelo talking about how he's linked up with Cade to work on his game. The rest of those young cats impressing me as well. Tons of athleticism, but a surprising amount of genuine knowledge. Been told a ton of my boys this was not gonna be an easy series.

All that respect out the way, y'all nikkas be listening to Eminem and BMF is a trash show. Respectfully :unimpressed:
