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

[Eza]

They just a better product on the floor overall than last year, cup or not. But it's nice to see them blowing a team out. The off-season pickups have been pretty productive, especially Beasley for peanuts. And he seems to like it in Detroit too.

He got ties here, said his mom lived on 6 mile and he be all up through that way with no worries.

We need to resign him as soon as possible.

Ausar with a pair of nice blocks

Yall igguhs Need to call a Chicago again about Lavine . Y’all drafted a lot of young guards and I’m just not sure about any of them outside of Cade

 

[Dolo]

Effort was horrible tonight but I know it was a back to back

 

[eastside313]

Cade back and dishin it.

Ivey, Beasley and THjr playing good as well

Gave Cade some actual nba level talent and that man damn near leading the league in assist.

They turned lavine down in the offseason. I wouldn’t wanna tie all my cap up with him making 50 mill a year for the next 3 years other.

I know we are supposed to be happy they aren’t historically bad like last year but dropping games to the sixers is still frustrating

TO's are still too high

So how does this NBA Cup thing work, if we beat Milwaukee on Tuesday we in?

I think we would be automatically in. If we lose, I think we may still have a chance at the wild card

They are but I'm sure they'll come down as the season progresses like they have each year. He's gotta do a better job of protecting the ball and playing like a big guard instead of constantly trying to put it in nikkas faces, especially the long lanky defenders.

And he's gotta improve on recognizing the secondary defender dropping off to him. He get tunnel vision, especially when he gets cooking offensively. That's where a real additional ball handler helps. Another pg or playmaker that can recognize and control the flow of the game and knows how to feed a hot hand.

I'll say this, team building is clearly a work in progress, but they're not nearly as behind as they appeared last season.

100 points in the middle of the 3rd quarter is wild.

It was good while it lasted.

At the game. The defensive effort and turn overs


Stewart gone in the third with some ridiculously dumb fouls
