And just like that Celtics might steal the home opener like that 🫰

Pistons need a vet enforcer for these stupid turnovers and fouls.

Duren isn’t playing like he is on a contract year.

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 2h

Duren needs to be more disciplined.

I would be interested to gauge George Niang on the Jazz as a trade target.

Wemby is on another level where he may make the Spurs the kings of the West in no time.

It is very hard to imagine the Pistons (or any nba team) to have that.

I would say Rockets or Thunder are closest to that. Maybe Grizzlies if all are healthy.

What is it about playing in LCA that makes opponent’s stars go off in points?

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 2h

Duren’s passing talents don’t outweigh his turnover rate.

I think he has a lot of talent and promise.

I think he could be a star too. But he has a lot to learn.

True. Sometimes I feel like he is the Jamo of the Pistons.

I love Ron’s hustle. But it is a mixed bag of whether it helps or hurts

It is weird how Duren has turnovers against a Celtics that lacks much size to challenge him.

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 3h

The Pistons locker room is missing their some important vet leaders from last year.

It is clear that they struggle with being locked in.

Supposedly Klintman fits a serious needs on this team given the roster injuries….

Evidentiary, playing Klintman is too risky, and it makes me wonder if he is cooked as a Piston.

The Cade turnovers are simply the hard glass ceiling to legit stardom.

It is a heavily talented guard league. And depending on record and health, it shuffles a lot year by year.

Last year was Cade’s year, but unless if he cleans up his TO, you can’t guarantee that Cade is a top 5 guard.

I meant like a number. Haha. But he is legit.

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 4h

I don’t love LeVert being injured.

I have a suspicion that he has been dealing with injury since being traded to the Hawks last year.

Heplayed through it so he could secure the bag in offseason—understandable.

Risk was he recover in OS and all is good, or it lingers. I think latter occured

Tyrese Maxey is __ best point guard in the NBA.

I will say THJ and Tek looked pretty good so far in their respective new scenarios.

But Pistons offense is sputtering and Cade isn’t quite ready. I think issue is he needs a true star next to him that commands Cade to grow into a genuine perennial star.

Ben Gulker @brgulker.bsky.social · 1d

I know it’s only two games, but this state line is kinda troublesome. So far haven’t seen the step forward on offense I was hoping for. Say what you want about win shares, when they’re negative it’s not a good thing.
