Official Detroit Pistons thread

Sloppy Pistons 1st half. Cade flashed, but team issues with turnovers.

Immediately had a better time watching the Rockets vs Magic game during Pistons halftime. Might have to adopt the Orlando Magic as a secondary favorite team this season. Exciting squad. Mo Wagner setting screens for Franz Wagner. Cole Anthony hilariously thinking he’s the captain and it’s actually working. Jonathan Isaac redemption. Paolo ascension.

14 turnovers in first half...not good...ivey had a terrible half

[Tom]

When Cade hit that late 3, I thought they might pull it off. Too bad. Need to work on the turnovers.

[jaadam4]

Wow Cade went off! What the hell happened with Ivey? He only played 17 min? His mins were down in the preseason too

[froot loops]

I'm not sure how many wins this team will have, but they are fun to watch. Really athletic.

[Cody_Russell]

Agreed. Gotta be up there as most enjoyable the Pistons have been to watch since… 2007 maybe? Up there.

The talented high draft picks playing hard for Monty Williams. Stretches where Duren looks like a monster. Cade breaking Coby White‘s ankles. The flashes from Ivey.

[froot loops]

Duren is already a top echelon roll guy in the PnR. Stewart looks like has taken step up. They have a hellish schedule to start the season.

[chemiclord]

Duren has showed flashes of Ben Wallace's tenacity on the boards, and Chris Webber's court vision/finishing touch at the rim.

If it all comes together at once... he's the sort of big man that could have a long career even without a perimeter game.

2-1 after tonight...havent allowed more than 104 points yet

[whatever_gong82]

[Tom]

Thompson seems like a good pick. Pretty active and plays good defense.

[ghandi]

The Pistons definitely needed to get much better on defense...AT is a step in the right direction

[jaadam4]

Can someone please explain why Hayes is playing so many minutes? Ivey isn’t exactly starting out the season the way I thought he would

[Mainevent]

Because Killian plays defense and moves the ball. Monty is clearly setting some clear expectations for what he wants on the defensive end. Wiseman hasn’t played a single minute so far.
