A game like this shows the perfect example of what the Pistons need to surround their core guys to take their next step in the rebuild and make the play-in.

Got dat L, dawg. Charlotte won.
I see that beard coming back!
Damn I was hoping Killian wasn’t in the 6 you said bring back. Cause I really don’t see what you see in him.
They played a 10th seed team. Look man Washington has(3) 20pt scorers we don't when we play a better scoring team we can't keep up. Portland did to us what good teams do to us. Weavers love for projects players will be his downfall. Wiseman is not being used to take advantage of the skills he has, the last game he had 6 the game before he had 6 Casey is a player killer.
If the Pistons can improve on the free throw shooting we can win more games. Plus that put more pressure on the other teams when close games are on the line
This means guys don’t deserve their pt or that the wrong guys are playing 4:57
Yeah the numbers game don't match up for Dialo.
This game prove with no doubt how must team chemistry; has been missing from this year Detroit Piston lineup and combine with the fact we were grossly undersize early in the season with a fragile defensive lineup and Bojan and Burks taking most of the shots. The Pistons finally look very balance and relax for the first time this year. I believe Eugene Omoruyi #97 may replace Diallo next year. He has a big body 6'7 shoot three's and good ball defender and RJ Hampton is starting to get his rhythm watch out for him. These last 16 games remaining maybe very exciting to watch
Whut Bro . Respect you podcast.. GO PRIDE,. BAD BOYS,. GO BLUE… TRUTH OF THE SITUATION IS .. D CASEY. DONT KNOW OR UNDERSTAND THAT WISEMAN…A DAWG ON OFFENSE… BAGLEY. COOL TOO.. THEY JUST NEED MINUTES.. BUT I BE SEEING THAT. THE GUARDS DONT ACTUALLY KNOW HOW TO BE GUARDS.. IF I WAS THE POINT GUARD I'LL BE UTILIZING THEM BIGS LIKE A MF. . YOU SEE WHEN THEY USE THEM TO BIGGS TODAY WHAT THEY DID TODAY AND THAT'S JUST LETTING YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WE EVEN R. MCGRUDER OUT THERE HE'S NOT THAT BAD BUT HE AIN'T THAT GOOD OR YOU NEEDED SOME PEOPLE TO GET THEM THE BALL AND TAKE SOME GOOD SHOTS EVERY NOW AND THEN
This was the best Detroit game I have watched all season long! They need to run that same rotation the next game to see how it does. Diallo, bojan and Kilian weren’t missed at all. These mofos are me first players and don’t play team basketball. I don’t know what Kuka sees in Kilian and Diallo
Kuka, you and the rest of the world have misdiagnosed who Wiseman truly is. The dude is more of a SF/PF then he is a center this early in his career. Play him more like you would Bosch and KD and suddenly you would see a great player out of this kid. As he ages as a 7 footer, he will learn how to play the center spot. For now he is a SF/PF
The EXACT same thing happened vs Orlando only a week or so ago (with Stewart and Bogdan playing)…when the shot goes up – all these guys just stare at the ball instead of finding a player to box out FIRST…and the weak-side offensive player is there for the put back.
Since it happened twice with different players it has nothing to do with personnel.
Somehow the coaches are not able to teach NBA players rebounding fundamentals which is a shame because Detroit has history of tough rebounders.
I’m not bashing Detroit players, I see this across the board including Miami Heat (with mythical “Heat culture”) are poor at defensive rebounding.
If there js an area Detroit can improve in that literally helps secure maybe 5-10 wins per season, it’s fundamental rebounding.
Ivey needs to start at point, and the spacing need to be good enough. No need to start Killian. ESPECIALLY IF WE ARE PLAYING TWO BIG LINEUPS.
IMO, we should ship Bagley, Stew, and Killian somewhere. Free up cap space and get some upgrades at key positions like PF and Backup point. Maybe Atlanta can be a dance partner, maybe JC.
I am confident Wiseman can be a bench center who can come in and score right away. NO RUSH on him developing a perimeter game.
If we miss on Wemby, then MAYBE he can play PF.
