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

Can’t win letting 2 players score 80 points.

On the low, the defense has fallen all the way off during this stretch. Right now we aren't a good defensive team and we're getting killed on the boards by teams with size. Stew is just too small when facing teams with legit size and length.





Maybe some fatigue, lack of focus and injuries have played a part...but if they don't get shyt sorted out on the defensive end they will get swept out the 1st round pretty easily.

I'm not worried about it just yet. A lot of irregular lineups with key players being in and out. Duren and Ausar for in full trouble in the second half and I think only played around 20 mins. They need to get that foul shyt under control, buy other than that I'm not too concerned. They got clapped on the boards yesterday, and those guys being out was a big reason why.

Thompson is that dude but he can't guard everyone

I swear this how I be feeling watching games. Ausar is the finger in the leaky damn and whenever they plug him on somebody and he shuts their water off, the defense sometimes just starts leaking somewhere else. That was definitely the case last night with Demar and Lavine.

Pistons are just getting out talented right now

Malik Beasley has been our second option for the majority of the year…How long
Was that supposed to last?

Cade is the best player on team but Duren is most important. When he’s engaged and giving effort on both sides of court its a completely different team.

The lack of secondary star is what will limit this squad. Like said above Beasley can’t be your second best player. Ivey not being available sucks.

But Tobias Harris averaging 14 points on 11 shots. You gonna say we were wrong about him?
