The Detroit Pistons lose another game after failing to box-out Jalen Williams on the final defensive possession, allowing another putback game-winner to send them home with a loss. This mistake repeatedly happening for the Pistons speaks to a lack of basic fundamentals and calls into question whether it’s really sinking between the ears of the young Pistons.

1st Listen. I don't know what to make of this team. All kinds of players playing. What is this? We need an identity. We don't shoot, we don't dunk. This team is playing soft. Stay up Ku.
This the third time Isiah Livers did not box out at the end of the game on a game winning put back. It happens so often I literally predicted it. Smh love Ivey, Duren and Eugene though, they balled out.
Dort dunking on lefty soft towers bag/wise 😂
So we have 16 centers & have a jump ball right in front of the opponent's basket & only need to win the jump ball & box out & leave Duren on the bench???🤔
Idk what you're talking about Ku, it's perfect tanking 😂 stay in the whole game, just don't box out at the end! Easy as giving candy to a baby, or something or other.
That was simply poor coaching. It is clear the team has no clear structure when it comes to switching/doubleteaming….there are was a timeout right before that. There instructions should have been clear.
Difficult to know about these players without a legit coaching staff. Why isn't John Beilein the head coach instead of "senior advisor".
Your right it might have not made a difference but Duren should have been in the game during that situation he is your best rebounder.
This the ubber two big lineup these casuals wanted. Some players on this team like livers and Bogee aren't 4s. They don't reb really or Box out. I want Duren starting next year.
I was at Paycom for this game here in Oklahoma. I am originally from Detroit. Was following the Pistons closely early in the season and it was frustrating, then Cade got injured.
What I noticed was a much better team defensive effort. The team looked competitive the entire game. Be patient with this young team it can oly get better. I liked what I see in most of the players. Was very impressed with Duren and Wiseman. Killian Hayes seems to do everything well and his shooting didnt look too bad. I bellieved they could win it with seconds left.
I have been watching you since day 1
I would keep Omoruri, and let livers go.
Bagley is a bum. That's why we moved him light the beam!
You sound like a common fan, bro; like you don’t seem to realize that the Pistons are not only tanking for Wembanyama but they are also developing young guys. This means that the young players who lack experience are getting the opportunity to learn in real game situations through trial and error. The fact that they were even in this game was a testament to how much they have all grown and learned despite the injuries and changing roles.
Cut or trade livers. He might be "smart" but he's been ass and an injury prone bench guy doesn't sit well with me. Maybe let him come off the bench but nothing more than an above minimum guy
Cheap fouls if he wasnt in foul trouble he'd be scoring near 40
I was watching the end of this game and I literally said. They would win by tip in.
Jalen Duren needs to be the starting center and he should be our main focus.
A positive note. This team looks better now without Cade, than they did with Cade back in October/ November. Just being realistic.
This isn't even "professional" basketball. Where is the outrage? This team is pathetic and has been for years. How much longer will ownership put up with Casey as coach? Why hasn't he been fired long ago? The "young guys" get no better under him.. Why anyone continues to pay to watch this G league level team is beyond me. Give me the NCAA March Madness any day.
Bagley can be exactly what we need to compete with the Bucks and Cavs. He hasn't played alot due to injuries but he is young and still learning the game. I would hate to give up on such a young talented big so let's keep improving as a team.
Casey change lol
Ivey already on year 2
