Joel Embiid embarrassed the Detroit Pistons through just three quarters, not needing to even play in the final quarter of the game. Through just one half, Embiid had 30 points and 11 rebounds. This game showcased just how bad the roster construction it and possible missed opportunities int his past free agency. Therefore, it’s now time for everyone to have tough conversations about the Pistons young core.

I appreciate Ku, you keep it real. Make people have those tough conversations.
Casey was called out as a bad coach. Perhaps he was just doing what he could with what he was given?
No duren no bagley man shut up!! What u expect?
Great video, we need to question this "core". We need to seriously address our bigs. If our Core 4 as some call it was any good, we'd have atleast a couple wins more than this. This is like watching Drummond getting stats but us not going anywhere UNTIL we got Jennings or Blake.
Who we have now Including Cade are not enough. We need another Jennings or Blake type of player to be the real leader of this team. Cade getting stats is great but it doesn't translate to wins. Big part is on our bigs but even with Duren healthy and Bojan back we were still losing.
Jerami Grant, Lauri Markkanen, John Collins, hell getting Dwight Howard for our bench even would help tremendously against what we currently have.
Cade needs to have big stats in Winning games or he's not much more than the guard version of Andre Drummond. A very good player but Not who he's been made out to be. Stat getter that doesn't actually translate to winning.
We were somehow better Last season with a less experienced Duren, no Ausar yet, and Killian and Ivey side by side starting than we have been WITH Cade back this season.
This pictures not adding up for anyone paying attention.
As a Sixer fan that has lived through the Process Era, I can tell you it can only get better. Because it damn sure can't get worse. I watched my Sixers lose 28 straight games. I feel your pain.
You should do a video on what type of offensive and defensive schemes Monty has been running this year and what you’d change. Sometimes it’s hard to tell what he’s doing. I think we need to start going deeper as a community and start to really put out content about how we can get better in hopes that it gets back to them lol
I wish there was a place where we could stream all the games from old pistons seasons. It would give me something to enjoy.
Thank you bro bc as pistons fans we need to come to realization that these that ur so high on aren’t that good. 21 straight losses should never happen even with the worst of rosters
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you for still doing this Ku. Thanks for pushing through.
The only people who has a job harder than you are George Blaha and Greg Kelser 🤣🤣🤣🤣
We could have had Kelly Oubre instead of Kevin Knox in fact.
We should bring Andre back for the interior defense.
One player you can’t blame is Jaden Ivey. Monte is screwing up his second season.
I agree with drafting Ausar Thompson. That’s it this past offseason.
I don't agree that Bojan and Morris and guys being healthy doesn't make a difference. It's not like they make us good, but this roster needs both of their contributions to be 20+ win team. They're the difference between like 15 wins and 21. I know it sounds pedantic but as you said, Bogey is actually good.
Isaiah Thomas’ Knicks were terrible but he drafted a lot of good players. The construction was awful. Our best players don’t complement each other.
Detroit goes through long stretches with Stewart, Livers and Killian on the floor together. I am sorry but those are not starter quality players even on this team. The five best players are Cade, Ivey, Bojan, Ausar and Duren. Whether they start or not they should be all getting 30 minutes plus a game.
Watching You for a while, and for the first time I agree with everything you said, but hope is fucked-up thing…. sometimes you get a present that you wanted….and it is ..
We appreciate you Ku! You help the fans get through this dark time.
My other question is when do some of our players, particularly Cade start speaking out?
#selltheteam
Bro Monty is trash. Let’s just be honest. We have more talent and the teams worse. Monty can’t elevate the players on this team.
Not best roster but team has more talent than last year..coach is to blame.
Masterful rant Ku!
