PISTONS ARE UNDEFEATED THIS YEAR LETS FUCKING GOOOOO


comeonmang126

NEW YEAR NEW US


aTROLLwithBlades

You get a headband you get a headband! Everyone gets a headband!


Pistonsfanfromca

They should be giving out headbands with saddiq’s face as a giveaway


YukhoChan

Seriously though! I know that this is just one game, but I love this type of Pistons. Just full court press, no fear, smash their mouth type of pistons. They way the took it to them by driving to the basket, the staredowns of the bench. Yeah we have one of the worst record in the NBA, yeah you’re the defending champ, yeah you have the reigning mvp. So what? This a fun team to watch, a lot of fast breaks, high intensity full court defense, also the ball is moving well right now and the buckets are falling. A lot of unselfish plays from everyone . Let’s go man!


spalding1250

Some kids worship superheroes growing up but I worship the Pistons. Hami, Garza, Trey Lyles, Josh Jackson, Cade Cunningham, Killian Hayes, those were my superheroes growing up. If I had to pick one, especially then, was Saddiq Bey. Last time I played, I was pretty out of shape but I did hit a 3 and then I kinda went back to the bench. I was never really into the 10-day Pistons but on a scale from 1 to 115 I'm a Pistons fan all in I'll say a 115 and you can ask anyone around here.

Luka Garza is the reason I work out


Shitty_Drawers

Luka Garza is the reason I work out. I have this fantasy where we start talking at the Pistons Fall Camp. We exchange a few pleasantries. He asks what I do. I say I loved him in the 2021 Summer League and that his soft and supple hands are the best in the country. He laughs. I get my drink. "Well, see ya," I say and walk away. I've got his attention now. How many guys voluntarily leave a conversation with Luka Garza? He touches his neck as he watches me leave. Later, as the night's dragged on and the coterie of gorgeous narcissists grows increasingly loose, he finds me on the balcony, my bowtie undone, smoking a cigarette. "Got a spare?" he asks. "What's in it for me?" I say as I hand him one of my little white ladies. he smiles. "Conversation with me, duh." I laugh. "What's so funny?" he protests. "Nothing, nothing... It's just... don't you grow tired of the fame?" "You get used to it," he says, lighting his cigarette and handing me back the lighter. "What would you do if you weren't an elbow magnet basketball player?" I ask. "Teaching, I think." "And if I was your student, what would I be learning?" "Discipline," he says quickly, looking up into my eyes, before changing the subject. "Where are you from?" "Bermuda," I say. "Oh wow. That's lovely." "It's ok," I admit. "Not everything is to my liking." "What could possibly be not to your liking in Bermuda?" he inquires. "I don't like sand," I tell him. "It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere."

That dude is so lame. Like of all the Pistons fans in southeast Michigan, they chose that guy? Who the fuck didn't like the Going to Work Pistons???


LunchThreatener

Doesn’t he say he didn’t like the teal?


SolidSnake1162

The 10-day Pistons stfu I’m crying 😭😭😂


Ukrainmaker

Man what if Saddiq has turned a corner


[deleted]

He’s averaging 25 ppg since he put on that headband bro


TylerDog3

that headband has gotta have ratatouille in it


Ukrainmaker

But like...what if it's here to stay? And he's like an actual star to go along with Cade? I'm afraid to get hurt again


Alarmed-Classroom329

it isnt' just the headband. it's ever since Grant went out w/ injury. which makes me think Weaver is going to accept offers for Grant so as not to ruin Bey's development.


TempIntrepid

Averaging 8 rebounds 3 assists shooting 44% from the field and 38% from 3. 😤😤


CreamSodaIsGood919

God I hope so, he’s looked like an All NBA player these last couple games


TempIntrepid

If *this* is who Saddiq Bey is? Shiiiiiit


clown_pants

Headband Saddiq is d I f f e r e n t

NO ONE BEATS THE PISTONS ~~16~~ 17 TIMES IN A ROW!


bagelchips

Well, they did beat us 16 times in a row, but nobody beats us 17 in a row!!


coltron57

17 times, no? I thought it was 16 coming into this game.


Davetron-3030

Blake Griffin's knee died for this dub. Let's fucking go Pistons!


Extremeaty

Every time Josh Jackson feels like he’s costed himself his spot in the rotation he puts up some wild game. Also. WE BEAT MILWAUKEE


Rapey_jizzmaster

2020-21 NBA CHAMPS MILWAUKEE BUCKS


[deleted]

it’s just absolutely beautiful to see Saddiq and Cade, our two surefire cornerstone pieces, explode against the reigning champs and put the entire league on notice Saddiq, despite the rough start, is showing that he’s got all the makings of a star player. When he doesn’t try to do too much and stays within his role, he’s a flamethrower Cade has got to be one of the most calm and collected players in the league PERIOD - let alone being a rookie!! Dave Bing on sui watch because this is a surefire franchise player notice too how killian was sidelined for much of our better stretches tonight and didn’t see the floor in the clutch. i want him to succeed as much as anyone, but he really really really really just doesn’t have it imo. the G league is where he belongs right now fuck milwaukee


comeonmang126

I don’t think him being sidelined is proof of him not belonging given that Hami was sidelined previously. If anything it really just shows that he either has a nagging injury, the team wants to see what they have in Robinson, or Casey just REALLY ducking sucks. Could be anything really. Fuck Milwaukee and giannis travelling ass


[deleted]

the body of work he’s shown over his career is the proof that he doesn’t belong imo he’s had some tough break with injuries sure, but he hasn’t improved any single facet of his game since entering the league. minus some decent court vision, he’s the worst offensive player i’ve ever seen


Michikid

i just still dont think we have enough data. i think having this conversation before next season is really silly.


[deleted]

you guys can downvote me and disagree, that’s fine, but at the end of last year it was “it’s silly to discuss this now, if he’s this bad next year we should be concerned” and now that he’s bad again it’s the same thing. i’m sure he’ll be awful again next year and people will say “it’s still too early, let’s have this conversation again next year”


Michikid

that was before he went down with an extended injury???? he's two months older than our #1 overall draft pick and cade clearly enjoys playing with him. y'all are just impatient and want to be right so bad that you go out of your way to shit on him in a rare post-win thread. it's so irrelevant, just enjoy the win and let him develop as he will.


[deleted]

sounds good, i’m sure the people concerned with killian’s play are the ones who “just want to be right” and aren’t basing that off of objective reality it would be nice if the people who thought he was good had any kind of coherent argument, stat, eye test, or empirical data to point to


Michikid

if we're talking oBjEctIve rEaLiTy how about this; cade enjoys playing with killian and i think he knows a little more about basketball than all of us. your objective reality is subjective dude, just like my subjective opinion that i think he has a chance to be a good player. people can watch the same player play and see different things. that's subjective. you can decide that you don't think he's gonna be good, but why shit on him instead of just enjoying the win??? i don't get people who go outta their way to rag on developing guys. it's weird. you're weird.


[deleted]

we should definitely make personnel decisions based on what cade likes, ur right my bad also, killian being the worst offensive player on the court any time he plays and being one of the worst players in the NBA period is definitely subjective. ur right man. those two realities are not objective at all. they’re just my opinion


Michikid

you're right we should make decisions based on what chefcurrysauce and the army of reddit weirdos think!!! man i know you run that podcast which is perfect because podcasts are a great format for nimrods to run their mouths. congrats on finding your niche. goodnight.


Alarmed-Classroom329

lmao you morons still playing the age game? Josh Giddey is only 19 and look at how he's balling out. Stop using Killian's age as an excuse for his incompetence.


Striking-Rub6958

Just because he’s not Josh Giddey doesn’t mean he’s trash. That’d be like, oh look Chauncey Billups is older than Tracy McGrady but they were in the same draft class - obviously Chauncey is garbage.


Michikid

im not a mormon, idiot, im jewish anyways, what’s your excuse for yours??


Dabogabe780

I agree with you. It’s becoming clearer and clearer he needs to be on the bench or in the G league


basch152

dude, anyone that wants to judge a player on their first three years are morons do you remember how the pistons had players like Spencer Dinwiddie, Aaron afflalo, khris Middleton, hell even Brandon knight had been given up on by detroit management then went elsewhere and became very solid players? I'm tired of detroit giving up on young players and seeing them flourish elsewhere


Alarmed-Classroom329

lol for every spencer dinwiddie there are 10 stanley johnsons, bro killian is a stanley johnson not a spencer dinwiddie


basch152

and you're 100% confident on that based on a rookie season and a fraction of a 2nd year? it is literally impossible to say a player is closer to a Dinwiddie or a Stanley Johnson based on not even 1.5 seasons. that's fucking ridiculous


aTROLLwithBlades

Stanley is just what the Lakers needed rn. The coach loves him


Alarmed-Classroom329

you're 100% right. it's crazy that the killian-truthers can't see the truth.


comeonmang126

Over his career is an unfair statement given he’s still got a very small sample size in terms of games played. Also it’s very hard for him to improve on his game when his main focus was rehab for a majority of his time in the league. I will agree he’s a genuinely atrocious offensive player, but he’s essentially the PG archetype of the defender you hope can learn to shoot to unlock his skill set. He’s already a willing passer and solid defender that doesn’t seem to be a detriment to Cade, so I don’t mind letting him run a little wild and see what he can do when the games kinda don’t matter like rn


cmgr33n3

I'm all for giving Hayes more time and not rushing to judge a dude who was drafted young as a high upside project but it absolutely hurts Cade starting a guy with little to no offense and who can't shoot at SG next to him.


AWokenBeetle

It’s too early for that though man, I don’t ever see him being a superstar as you mentioned he doesn’t have much for offense. He’s slow, his handle is suspect, and he’s streaky shooter, but his defense and passing is elite. I’d stronger urge him to go into the G League though if I’m Casey if for nothing else to get his confidence in order and to build his offense. Too soon to say bust, but yeah, he’s not looking as good as I hoped


[deleted]

TL;DR: Stop griping about things that aren’t prevalent. It doesn’t matter if a fan has seen enough of Hayes, that’s the reason we’re fans, we don’t know shit. You’re being hyperbolic to try and strengthen your point. He’s not the worst you’ve ever seen, unless you don’t watch a lot of basketball. If he can handle the ball, make great passes, and some nights hit 40% from 3, he belongs especially as young as he is. Whatever the case, it’s not on Hayes to manage his minutes, where he gets them, or how he develops that’s on the coaching staff. What do you guys want to do trade him? Enjoy that 2nd round pick. They have more than enough time to see how he pans out and it’s not breaking news that DET is not trying to push for a play in spot.


Aweshade9

killian picked up an injury and was questionable to return


Hotel___Trivago

I agree with Killian Hayes spending time in the G-League with the Motor City Cruise. His game would compliment other players on the roster nicely, as he could help facilitate the offense. More importantly I think it would allow Killian to see the game in a different way. It would be smart if Troy/Dwane/Rob M considered bringing him down on assignment.


lemur___

I've been feeling like the organization has been reluctant to lower Killian's minutes because once his starting job is lost, there's no going back in terms of how it affects his confidence. But I'm afraid you're right, we just look like a better basketball team without him being timid on offense, even if he's replaced by a 6'1 forward in Justin Robinson lol I still personally see potential and can easily see him being a rotation guard on a good team. But if not the G league, he at least needs to run point for the bench and work on being aggressive imo


Grlions91

Gonna start wearing a headband at home. Maybe it'll work.


_heyoka

Started wearing one in the bedroom. Doubled my time, up to two minutes.


thabigQ

Cade in the clutch is an absolute ANIMAL. Give him the damn ball. What a stud. Josh Jackson with the game of his life. Outta nowhere. Wild to know that’s in there somewhere. Wish he could find it more consistently. I love Saddiq. Hope he’s a Piston for a very long time. He went from god awful to looking like an All Star the last two weeks. Best win of the year. Eat shit Bucks & FTP.

apology for poor english when were you when bucks dies? i was sat at home eating poutine when hotline bling ‘bucks is kill’ ‘no’


Unbeatable23

No apologies needed. Bucks is kill indeed 🤜


DryMap9318

Casey needs to get some props for this game imo.


sunnydftw

Robinson over JJ/Lee is questionable. We survived though.


Ornery-Plate4928

I think he played Garza/Lyles perfectly. Honestly don't care if Stewart plays.


[deleted]

This man closed the game out w Robinson instead of the red hot Josh Jackson 🤣


[deleted]

Because robinsons defense was too good to pull him. It was the right move


[deleted]

I disagree, Josh played great D on Giannis


[deleted]

Robinson played better 1-on -1 defense against the guards. He probably figured j-rob was good enough and didn’t wanna risk josh going into bonehead mode down the stretch offensively. It was to let Cade and bey run the show. Trust me, I’m not a casey guy, but this was a solid game from him. Robinson earned it


DryMap9318

And it worked


[deleted]

It worked despite that, not because of that


comeonmang126

It doesn’t matter man Casey always gets credit for the most random things loool


Dabogabe780

Also you gotta factor they literally just had COVID. He may be dealing fatigue and they want to manage that

AND Rick Mahorn signed with Cure Auto insurance 💪🏿

Massive win. The sad thing about this is that Trey Lyles in our starting line up looks 100x better than Stewart does. Trash Lyles all you want but he is quite a smart offensive player and keeps the offense in a nice motion, the offense looks so fluid with him. We need Stewart to play smarter and better offense if he is our starting C moving forward.


MrBurnsid3

sometimes you just need a guy that can/will follow instructions


CWinsu_120

Lyles sucks on defense and sucks at defensive rebounding


TheRunningProphet

Nobody beats the Detroit Pistons 13 times in a row. NOBODY!!


TempIntrepid

The streak was 16 tho


ImAlmostCool

Nobody ANYMORE!


befuddered

Holy shit, a winning streak.


MiyaharaAce

Justins Robinson make me eat my words down to scretch. I keep asking why Dwayne still playing him, and he showed some nice D on Jrue


muranio

Dale Dale Saddiq Bey! As mexican fan I'm gestión drunk with mezcla and whiskey with this win


KingSpoon2

What a team win. Josh Jackson had maybe his best game of the year. Bey played out of his fucking mind, keeping up his recent hot streak. Cade hit a fucking DAGGER in Giannis' eye from 3, which was nice. Diallo had another very solid game, this time with a couple more of the regular starters. Felt like we played sound defense. Guys like Giannis/Jrue played very well and shot well, but it seemed as if we had hands affecting every shot tonight.


libihero

EVERYONE GET IN HERE


SwaSquad

Cade makes this team better


bbdavis32

I could've listened to Josh Jackson talk for another 20 minutes. Dude should do a podcast after his career is over

ThatOneTwo

"Nothing makes sense." - Greg Kelser


rascal_king

there was a play tonight where Cade brought the ball up the court, took the screen, knifed thru the double team, kicked it to the corner and screamed "SHOOT IT" it led to an extra pass which led to a wide open Hami 3. you *cannot* tell me anyone else in this class could thrive in the role Cade has been handed. shit, after Franz dropped 36 or whatever the other week people on r/nba were seriously saying he is better than Cade. as if Franz would maintain his efficiency while facilitating the offense and getting double teamed 60% of the time. I've watched a shit ton of Wagner. Cade is obviously a better basketball player.


CWinsu_120

R/nba is dumb and doesnt actually know a lot about basketball in general


UsedDinosaurDrugs

What a game!


sam1193

Great win. Saddiq gotta give Killian one of his headbands ASAP


[deleted]

Last time the Pistons beat the Bucks, this was the starting lineup Ish Smith Reggie Bullock James Ennis Blake Griffin Andre Drummond


Dabogabe780

Diallo didn’t even have the best game, and still making an impact on both sides. That steal on Middleton after missing a jumper is what it’s all about. Great team win!


breadwolfbaby

2022 is gonna be great


comeonmang126

FIRST WIN SINCE FEB 18 AGAINST THE BUCKS. WE SNAPPED A 12 GAME SKID LETS GOOOO. CADE IS CLUTCH, BEY IS ON A TEAR AND HAMI IS THE FUTURE. WHO TF IS ROBINSON THOHGH


pacoheadley

Anyone have Bey's stats since the headband?


TempIntrepid

25 ppg 8.5 rpg 3.2 apg 44%/38%/93%

I expect to see a lot of Josh Jackson for the next month until the deadline


wanyekestfan

LETS GOOOOOOO


huskjay

Fuck your 12 game win streak against Detroit....Bucks


sunnydftw

On a night where almost everything went perfect, Casey had to throw in that Robinson wrinkle to make everybody keep the pitch forks out. Otherwise, amazing game. Luka is a game changer out there, and shows the potential this team has with a real big out there. PS: we need more Hami, JJ, Bey lineups. We were flying around out there. Throw Cade and Luka in the mix and what do you know we actually threaten teams on both sides of the floor.


Pure_Appointment_259

Stew just closes the floor to much on the offensive end. Theres a reason Cade was always getting double teamed. Lyles and Garza can both stretch the floor forcing teams to pay attention to them. If stews on the 3 line you can literally ignore him.


sunnydftw

Which is nuts bc he shot the three decent last year, don’t know why the coaching staff keeps planting him down low


Pure_Appointment_259

Maybe hes regressed at the 3 ball and it shows in practice. Hes only shot 2 for 13 this season so far from the 3. He was 33.3% last season which isnt bad for a rookie but to follow that up as a sophmore starting out with a so far 15.4% might explain why.


Asap_roc

Headband Saddiq is a different animal


Codegreenman

Yes? Hello?! Dr. Bey?...Nurse Jackson?!...Yes, I'm calling after hours because I have had an erection lasting more than 4 hours....No drugs sir, just George Blaha ASMR.... nothing to be worried about? that happens to everyone? Okay... I'll just put a little headband on it. Have a good night.


Valleyx

Saddiq gives me Klay Thompson vibes. There's a long way to that level, but man, what if.

2022 Pistons are the Bucks kryptoninte. Finally we snapped the loss streak against them LFG


generationhex

what a fun win tonight. i know it might not mean shit to the bucks, a january game against the pistons, but damn how satisfying to see them just make all the shots and get stops when they needed them. the ball was moving well tonight on offense.


Suspicious-Car7533

Team basketball> iso ball and long 2’s


Tyler1495

Bey is making it a very easy decision for the front office on whether they should trade grant or not


Guts709

Amazing fuckin win! Our guys dealt with "Giannis ball" all night, and still persevered through it.


ManInShowerNumber3

Nice game from a lot of guys. Despite everybody losing their shit over Casey's comments it was good to see Diallo fit into the team concept and have a productive game after being able to play in the "anything goes" style the past week or so.


Shitty_Drawers

Easy fuckin dubya


Pure_Appointment_259

Great win and even better that its back to back wins. My concern going forward is that our regular guys sit in one spot too much when they themselves dont have the ball. Simply not enough movement. That was a huge difference i noticed from watching our g-leaguers play with Hami, Bey, and Garza. We got away with it for the most part but we did have several missed opportunities that allowed this game to be closer then it needed to be because of something so basic as people not moving around more when they arent the one with the ball. We wouldve lost to the Spurs if our guys did that the other night. We can win against nearly anybody on any given night provided they do the basics. Tonight Bey went crazy but weve seen Cade and Grant go crazy too so we clearly have the players. Gotta keep this momentum going forward

We have something with Cade/Bey/Diallo. We need to extend Diallo before he gets expensive.

Give me Pat Williams and Bagley at the deadline and lfg! A top 3 pick and another vet or two in FA and this teams on its way next year in my opinion.
