Jaden Ivey scores 23 points and dishes out 10 assists, as the rookie continues to play his best basketball of the season, in the Detroit Pistons’ final home game of the season. In a season that has not went right and has seen the Pistons win only nine games at Little Caesars Arena, Ivey was one of the only bright spots for fans when they showed up downtown to watch their favorite basketball team.

I hope next season The Pistons can stay healthy for a change!
Casey should put that in the locker room.
It’s almost like Duren would fit perfect next to Wemby at 4. Stretch the floor long. I knew weavers Fetish with lefty bum bigs was going to fail. Bags/wiseman gotta go. And awful Killian lol. Weaver just needs get real defensive dawg guard/wings. We have scoring with cade/Ivey/ wemby or Miller.
Ivey's Growth has been amazing. His maturation has been a revelation and his drive and heart are unsurpassed. Duren has also improved tremendously, and it is amazing to think he is the youngest player in the NBA; he is going to be very special.
I hope next year the coaching staff, whether it is Casey or a different HC, is able to generate a gameplan to maximize the talent that we have on the roster in whatever configuration is played (2 Big, 3 Guard, whatever the roster calls for).
I am so anxious to see Ivey, Duren, and Cade play together next year.
I hope the Basketball Gods are kind to us and allows us a top pick to go along with these 3 fine young players. I hope Troy can continue to refine the roster and add the missing pieces to allow us to compete for a play-in spot (at the minimum).
Ivey has impressed me this season and with Cade coming back they'll both be better next season. Cade won't get double teamed like he was last year. I hope we can get a player like Cam Johnson in free agency. Getting a Wembanyama or Miller will open up the floor even more. I know most don't see this team winning much next year but I see a line up like that making at least the play in game. Definitely if we get Wembanyama and all the players are healthy. Talking about the two bigs line up and Duren starting over Bagley. Suppose Bagley is used in a sign and trade to get Cam Johnson are you still going to be still upset? This season wasn't about winning a few not games, once Cade went down, it was about the opportunity to get Wembanyama. Getting the young guys playing time. I can envision a championship team in 3 to 4 years.
I think the most depressing thing is you could see how passionate he was about this game. Lowkey when he got that tech in the 3rd quarter and was limping, I knew he really gave that play his all. Dude needs to work on getting an open shot and I’m telling you he’ll be a problem 🔥
This year was the first time that I bought season tickets in my life, granted it was half season, and I think I only saw them win 3 games. I thought the best game was opening day against Orlando and even though the team lost 18 of the 21 games I attended, I still had fun as everything was new for me. I decided to renew for the 23-24 season because I had a really good team rep. that did a good job of letting me know of all the perks of being a season ticket holder then there was Cade being injured and I really wanna see the progress of Cade, Ivey and Duren playing together.
Can't judge the 2 man big until we get Cade back. Don't want to discount it yet.
We've seen it be effective. Not sure yet.
Yes there was issues, but you acting like we are a good team in general.
All lineups suck, no matter who we put out there.
i think the two big man lineup showed a lot of promise on how it can be utilized effectively. Wiseman again showed that he grab a rebound a go make a play in transition. it showsthat you need guards with gravity to make it work.and you touched on it a little bit but as a negative. they started doubling JW, JD in the post without the ball, so your shooters should be open. I'd be comfortable with Cade, Ibey or Bojan taking open threes. Defensively it needs a lot of work though. they gotta get comfortable guarding smaller/faster player. (a good game plan helps too). Killian does a good Job as a POA defender but bigger wings give him problems. in short, you need Ivey Cade and an Andrew Wiggins type wing, and Wiseman to consistently hit that 12 feet jumpshot to make this 2 big lineup work. a long shot but who knows, that's why we watch right 🙂
Time to let go of Coach. He hasn’t done anything good. I don’t want another has been coach either. Want a young up and comer Coach with motivation and passion for the game.
