A New Rock Bottom: Detroit Pistons Down As Much As 40 To The Toronto Raptors, Losing Streak Extends



The Detroit Pistons have reached a new rock bottom. In a game that could extend their losing streak to 11 games, the Pistons found themselves down by 40 points to the 5-7 Toronto Raptors. Cade Cunningham said “we’re bad” after the game, and he’s telling the truth: the Detroit Pistons are bad. And it could get worse.

  1. Monty Williams is terrible and this team has quit on him. I saw this happening. He has completely blown the confidence and motivation of this team Phoenix ran him out of town for a reason. Not hiring Udoka is bitting them in the ass, as it should.

  2. Y’all need to put some respect on Killians name. Ivey started and got significant minutes and everyone struggled including him. I’m not fully against Ivey but I don’t see how fans can’t see that he really needs to improve in so many categories to help us win. The original line up is basically our best our best chance at winning. Especially with the injuries we have

  3. I believe in Cade, Ausar, Duren, and Stew as cornerstones for this team. Everyone else is in the market in my opinion. This is rock bottom and it’s all thanks to Weaver for sitting on his butt and doing NOTHING. Something has to change either a trade or they fire weaver.

    Do you honestly think Cade is going to want an extension after this season?!? Ask yourself if you would stay after another 20 win season of no improvement? Nothing has changed…

  4. start Ivey over Killian? Is that what we need? Half the Pistons fan base seems to think so. Here's the problem. Jalen Duren is hurt. Isaiah Stewart is good but is a traditional 4 and without his 3 ball is not helping the offense. Ausar's handles and shooting is suspect, but otherwise he's solid. Cade should not bring the ball up the court 50% of the time. He should play off ball more. Killian should run the offense more with a healthy Jalen Duren. Ivey is not the guy. Cade is not superman. Trade Cade for value.

  5. thank you for the rant Ku. all of us our so passionate about this team and its players, but i’ve unfortunately given up on this regime. It’s awful team building.

  6. 6 people missing on ANY NBA team is a serious reason to look this bad dude. These aren't end of bench guys that are missing so what?? Melting down thinking oh well keep these games close ANYWAY is silly.

  7. Thank you Ku, the Pistons desperately need to get Cade some help. I can be critical about his shooting percentages and turnovers. However I think I have to admit that it's mostly not his fault and the fact that hes still managing to average 21 and 7 on a team built like this is remarkable. As well as a true testament to his talent. If they don't think Ivey is the guy to pair with Cade then trade him and get that guy. The Pistons need another player that actually demands respect and creates gravity offensively. As Toronto was still swarming Cade even with an added shooter because they still didn't respect the other four on the floor. I've said it before, someone like a Tyler Herro would be a perfect fit and he is actually gettable. As he's exactly what Cade needs another player that demands respect from the other team. Troy needs to put something together now and I honestly think Detroit Miami and Chicago are perfect trade partners right now.

  8. I really wanted Mathurin or Sharpe to play with Cade because when i watched Ivey at Purdue, he reminded me of a more athletic Rodney Stuckey. Im not sold on Beef Stew as a starter neither. BTW, Weaver has made some bad moves but Gores is playing a role in some of these decisions too. Remember, Weaver wasn't looking at Monty Williams. You can tell he only took the job because of the $$$.

  9. If they lose to the Wizards, I'm done being a Piston Fan. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

  10. You all are nuts…we're literally starting several non nba players much less starters. Duren has been out for several games and probably hurt since game one. Bojan was our leading scorer last year and hasn't played yet…are we missing 2 of our 4 best players on a rebuilding, shallow roster? We were always going to be bad…

  11. IM DONE!!!!S.O.P!!!! Smhhhh!!!!!! Damn am I crazy to say I might be missing Dwayne Casey lol

  12. No one allows these crazy lopsided blowouts like Monty does trust me I’ve seen it first hand as a Suns fan. He doesn’t have his team prepared to play in a lot of games.

  13. Are they even really injured? I feel like this is a ploy to get another pick…THAT WE DONT NEED

  14. How the hell did you trust Troy Weaver to do anything every move he's made has been a flop get rid of that bum Monty Williams is seeing just what Dwayne Casey went through Troy Weaver don't know talent

  15. I made this point a couple losses ago; Cade is getting obviously frustrated and if it continues, it’ll be a waste of a 1st overall because we were too passive.

  16. Maybe folks will finally come around to the points I’ve long been asserting. I’ve been telling y’all Stew has zero business as a starter in this league. Dude just doesn’t have the skillset and sorely lacks the athleticism to compensate for his limitations. He’d be a perfect backup small ball 5. A guy who can get physical with opposing reserves, stretch the floor a bit, and spark the unit with his hustle and “antics” (for lack of a better term). Same goes for Killian. He’s an ideal backup PG. Far too limited offensively to compete against opposing starters—can’t penetrate his way all the way to the basket which severely cripples his ability to reliably score as well as effectively set up others given the lack of defensive rotation being generated with his (half ass) dribble drive, and doesn’t have the jumper to make up for it. As a backup he’d be a solid fit. Pass first guy on offense who doesn’t make many mistakes with the ball in his hands and gives you solid defense.

    Stew and Killian have shown all the attributes of players who could be very solid contributors as guys leading your second unit. The problem is the Pistons seem to genuinely think they’re capable starters in the league and this is the result you get when you try to make second stringers into franchise cornerstones.

  17. Smh pistons got my dog Ku out of character, something must be done – been watching since last year and never saw you in this bag. I do not blame you, I 100% agree. I want to rip up my season tickets.

  18. The quickest improvement weaver can make is bring back kelly olynyk and ditch Wiseman. The only decent trade i can think of for Bojan is trey Murphy and lance off the pelicans or rui off the Lakers

  19. @Ku Khahil 😁You say excuses is for "losers"🤔??? Well "reasons" are "excuses "😏😉😄(21:5423:24). 😂(17:5118:29)🤣(19:41-20-25) That's not what the draft hype for "Cade the Great" was projecting😏😆😆😂🤣🤣. "No excuses" right😁😆😂🤣👊? Great players make those around them better. You lead by example. Cade needs to be more of what he needs(catch and shoot).
    Be BLESSED And Stay STRAPPED(with faith)🤠🤓😇👑

  20. Cade would be your guys best trade chip he's clearly more of a #2-#3 option and solid vets that surround ausar Ivey and duren would go a long way.

  21. Might get worse?
    Its November and it will get alot worse
    I feel bad for season ticket holders
    Glad i can jus turn the channel

  22. I've been listening to this podcast for a long time and ku you have never been this upset.
    I hate to see the team look so bad but your absolutely correct, change must happen or else Cade is going to walk.

  23. Thank you Ku! This was absolutely ridiculous!!! CHANGE THE DAMN LINE UP! MAKE SOME TRADES! GET A BETTER TRAINING STAFF AND SOME GUYS ON THE FLOOR!! This has to stop immediately!!!
