Official Detroit Pistons thread

The SL team is a terrible watch right now. The only reason to watch is Duren and they may shut him down too. The team was an embarrassment in the first half against Indiana last night. I made a business decision and went to bed.

Did anyone watch the whole game? I may watch the second half today after work but I really don't want to be frustrated watching them get housed.

Yes. Watch the final 6:00 or so. Charlie Moore gets hot and Indiana throws the ball away,

Everyone, who played last night not named Duren should be left in Vegas. What an embarrassment. No competitive fire whatsoever.

They should continue to play Duren. Let him get the extra reps, he’s going to be a monster in the D. The fans are going to love him

Casually watched the 1st half. Not much to take away from it. Mathurin looks good for the Pacers!

I do like how Livers earned himself the right to sit out the game. Don’t need to see anything else from Livers. Safely on the roster!

Boeheim did put up some points, but his defense could be concerning. Slow footed/ not quick or athletic enough? Syracuse can hide that in college basketball because of their zone defense. Not a big deal because he’s only a two-way player. It’s whatever.

Livers was a really nice draft pick and stash because of his injury. If it doesn’t work out they didn’t risk much but if he continues to progress he’ll be a solid player.

For sure.
Michigan would have made the Final 4 if Livers didn’t suffer the foot injury. 1st RD talent that slipped because Livers wasn’t going to be ready for the start of his rookie season. Livers definitely should get heavy wing minutes (20 to 25 mins per game?). I feel confident Livers can continue to get better too.

Definitely one of my favorite Pistons 2nd RD picks… coming from the biased Michigan/ Purdue fan. But yeah, Livers was fantastic at Michigan.

I didn't see the game, but I saw the Warriors get housed by the C's with Wiseman, Moody and Kuminga playing the whole game. Summer league is glorified AAU basketball, getting upset about a game is a fool's errand.

[Forsh]

Wait ... Wiseman PLAYED? Cool

[froot loops]

He was very good in the first game, but he wasn't very impressive yesterday.

Who's upset? Intimating an emotion without fact or provocation is truly foolish. See no personal attack on a person yet still saying you aren't cool with said action. Try that next time Dad.

Watched the second half and the team played better. In the first half players were standing around on both ends. Second half they afforded themselves. They probably gave up as many points in the second half but at least they were putting the effort there.

You sounded upset and worked up over that game in post 6183. They were embarrassing enought that you went to bed as a business decision. To me that post sounded like you were upset. At minimum frustrated. You wanted them to stay in Vegas because they were so embarrassing.

I'm sorry I was so wrong.

[Futureshock]

Naw. At this point the staff has waved the red flag. Not upset. Our D team was playing their B team (and Mathurin) Maybe a little disappointed if anything. But not by much. No one but Duren will make the squad. Hyperbole. Have you not seen my half page rages when I am truly pissed?

The interviews with Cade and Jalen were nice to listen to from the second half.

[Futureshock]

Do you guys think we should get in on D. Mitchell?

I don't but I haven't watched him a ton.

I wish the Pistons would have drafted him all those years ago but at the current rate hell no. Cunningham and Ivey are the future of this team. Weaver has built an amazing group of young men. All they need to do is ball out and win the whole f'ing thing.

[The King]

No need to chase Mitchell with our current backcourt. I love that dude, but Ainge is going to rake some team for him.
