Practice is no sweat, its the games that are a problem: 2024-5 Detroit Pistons thread

[who_better_than_me]

I'm referring to last year before Monty start fukking with his minutes. He was looking like an absolutely special defensive player putting up some crazy stat lines as a wing. Then Monty got to Montying after he came back from an injury and he went from looking like a 1st team all defense lock to not even making the rookie 2nd team. That Monty year is such a shyt show in wasted development year.

lol Monty ain’t no defensive coach. He should’ve prioritized youth development over vet minutes but killed his minutes because of his offense, or lack thereof. Has to be a balance. Cam learning that now in Houston. Just got sent back to gleague. But Ausar had league low offensive stats. So did Ivey but it wasn’t 4 on 5 when Ivey was out there. Ausar was killing the other pistons players offensive efficiency on the floor. Dude had a .01 Offensive win share. It’s rare for a rotational player to have that low of a OWS. Usually end of the bench players who only get garbage minutes once or twice month can only achieve that. He was beyond useless ina halfcourt offense. Certain coaches could utilize Ausar strengths tot he benefit of his team(Ime, Carlyle) but not a coach like Monty. JB is more defensive oriented so maybe he will get the most out of Ausar

Za'Darius Smith here too? Lions supporting the Pistons.

If the Pistons lose this game, I will need a break for a couple games.

One thing for sure. Bickerstaff told Cade to attack them boards. He haven’t really been rebounding like he can since his rookie year.

shyt, it was like 2 months before they won this game last year. Enjoy it, and hope for continued growth and improvement.

Bickerstaff was a good hire

Beasley and Hardaway were good acquisitions

 

[NormanConnors]

Starting to become apparent. Cade is a good player but most likely a #2 on a championship team. Borderline all-star but not a true franchise guy.

Wish they would have tried to get Brandon Ingram because they desperately need another shot creator

Agree with this except for Brandon Ingram
