Detroit Pistons: It is SOMEHOW EVEN WORSE

Detroit Pistons: It is SOMEHOW EVEN WORSE

As I make this video the Pistons are currently 3 and 33 and somehow haven’t played their worst basketball the season yet and I know this because K Cunningham left today’s game against the Denver Nuggets with a left knee strain and I know that that’s an injury like that you

Don’t come back with the very next game I don’t think that’s how that works if I’m wrong I’m wrong but I I’m going to assume that because I think that it will be if anything very Reckless for K Cunningham to go back the next game and play after missing all of last season

With an injury and the thing is is that this team is already bad with Kate Cunningham which some people have twe tweeted out that he’s been playing at an All-Star level without the All-Star help without even any regular help at all people see the All-Star potential in K

Cunningham if you guys are here thank you so much for for stopping by if you’re new feel free to subscribe and if you aren’t new welcome back welcome to another meltdown about the Detroit Pistons here we go again I’m going to keep on with the video this team is absolutely not

Equipped to play any form of basketball without K cunning him in the game and it and it and it was proven today um as I make this video the Denver Nuggets as soon as K Cunningham went out the Denver Nuggets just absolutely took over the game and I know that the Denver Nuggets

Are the reigning world champions I’m not expecting the Pistons to win the game but you could see a major difference in how the Pistons operated when K Cunningham was on the floor versus them learning that K Cunningham is not going to be coming back to this game and it

Feels like this is a team that doesn’t know what to do when Kate Cunningham is off the floor and this has to do with a lot of things and it goes back again to the awful roster construction there are so many players on this team that depend on the playmaking of K

Cunningham to be serviceable in the game there are so many players on this team that can’t create their own shot and when they do create their own shot it’s not a good idea K Cunningham had a very high usage rate playing out of desperation and necessity

Because there is no one else on this team that you would rather have driving the spaceship in this game because as soon as K Cunningham left they handed the B they handed the keys to Killian Hayes and he’s he’s not the player he’s not even like half the

Player that K Cunningham is Ken Hayes had two points and 25 minutes all right I’m not like the thing is that before killing Hayes got hurt he was actually showing signs of an NBA player but since coming back from the injury he’s been absolutely dismal right

And this is not the kind of player that you should put out as a starting point guard this is not this should not be a starting point guard killing ha is not a starting point guard in the NBA I’m sorry but now since Kate is injured and this roster is absolutely Bare

Bones killing Hayes is now going to have to be victim to more scrutiny from an angry fan base that’s had enough and has lost their patience and it feels like this whole situation again I repeat these players were put in a position to fail as soon as the season started it

Just doesn’t work together it was very painful today watching ailan Hayes and James wisman pick and roll because even if you see glimpses of improvement we all know the ceiling it’s not that that high especially not right now jayen Navy had one of his worst games that I’ve

Seen which I love Jaden Ivy but they were two plays like really close together where he was just stepping out of bounds right couldn’t hit a corner three it’s interesting because this injury to K Cunningham is going to mean that hopefully mean that Jade iy is

Going to be on the ball a lot more which is interesting someone uh noticed that Jay iy really doesn’t ever play on the court without K Cunningham like it’s usually Jay iy with K Cunningham and Monty Williams has had him off the ball a lot I don’t know if

Monty Williams trust jayen iy to really be on the ball which if that’s the case that sucks we don’t have any other choices right now like we have no other choice like killing Hayes is not our only hope it can’t be this Pistons team was barely watchable

With K Cunningham on the court it was barely watchable and that’s saying something K Cunningham is one of my favorite players to watch I watch all of his Oklahoma State games because I was like yeah this is the number one pick this guy is really good and even though

He’s not the flashiest player he’s still very entertaining to watch the fact that K hunningham was able to play during this losing streak and all of the NBA media and fan base is tuned in and was like wow this K Cunningham guy still looks really special that’s impressive

Given the fact that no one else on this team has looked special with the exception of Jaylen Duren since he came back as I read this the Detroit Pistons I’m going to go line I’m going to go down the lineup right Isaiah livers depends on playmaking bogdanovic okay so here’s my thing on

Bonovich like bonovich is a shot Creator but I don’t want the ball in his hands at the start of the shot clock that makes sense like there are some there are sometimes when bogy like he’ll just try to like isolate and create and think he’s like a shade of

Sheay gilis Alexander and it just ends fails spectacularly for him I don’t want boyang bogdanovich running our offense right but that’s going to happen a lot more because we know that kilan ha is just going to bring the ball up the court and pass it off like he’s not

Going to look for his shots and he’s at the position where do we want him to look for some shots I remember when Monty Williams earlier this this year was like kilan hay is not getting enough shots up and all the Pistons fan base looked at Monty was like what are you

Doing have did you we played the Phoenix Suns when Monty was coaching right we had to have were you paying attention to those games like it’s very astounding to me that Monty Williams took this NBA coaching job for the Pistons and I guess just and to be fair the Pistons were

Never like a threat at the time but being like Killian Hayes should get more shots I’m like do you guys have access to statistics and analytics like I pay $40 a month for Synergy stats I can go to cleaning theeg glass.com I can go to basketball reference.com it feels like the Pistons

Make these decisions and none of them are statistic based or analytic based they’re all based on Vibes and you know how I know that because Isaiah livers is starting there is no Stat or analytic out there that can validate the decision to start Isaiah livers over I’m I’m not

Even talking about SAR Thompson right now that’s a whole another video that I already made I’m talking about him Isaiah livers should not be starting over Kevin Knox at least Kevin Knox has shown competence right now isaah liver is his best basketball quality is that he has six

Fouls I wish I was kidding but I’m not and the thing about the Pistons is that now that kade’s even out they can’t even like be a defensive minded team right now like whenever a team does that pick and roll and like lobs it up Jaylen Darren’s not going to like affect that

Lob whatsoever like DeAndre Jordan looked like he was playing in 2013 today and that’s not on J that’s not against Jaylen Duren I’m not like trying to be harsh or CR like unfair but that and I think that that’s something that Jaylen Duren can definitely learn but it’s just

Not there yet Detroit’s best defender is assar Thompson and he barely seems to uh get burn and when he is on the court it doesn’t seem like Monty Williams knows what to do with him which just is great perfect that’s what I love a coach that

Just looks at a player sees all the potential and it’s like well that’s not my problem my brother in Christ you are the coach jadeen Ivy is so puzzling to me to watch like a full game basis because sometimes it feels like he’s having a good game or you see that like

There’s some some upside then you look at the box score and you look at the stats and you’re like oh I thought he was playing better than he he looks like he’s playing better than he is it’s very interesting and I really hope that with K Cunningham’s injury at least jayen ivy

Can show Monty Williams that he could play on the ball cuz Monty Williams has been and like not believing in it and that sucks because we saw it like a lot last year all right like what’s going on here like did Dwayne Casey shred all the evidence from last year did like Dwayne

Casey erase all the game footage from leaving and be like no you’re going to start fresh did he burn it down I don’t even know if mty morrris is even going to play like he like every every week Monty moris is like I’m closer to coming

Back to play and it it’s like d are you do you really want to come back and play for us for this dumpster fire I totally understand that Monty Morris is just like yeah I’m good like I totally understand if that’s the case I’m not saying that that’s the case but if Monty

Williams like sorry if mon Morris Jesus I keep saying Monty Mor like Mon oh jeez if Monty Morris comes out and like years from now on a podcast I was like I a want to play for these bum Pistons I’d be like yeah that’s totally fair I understand that’s fine but this

Team absolutely doesn’t feel like a basketball team about K Cunningham it seems like this team is just like 12 or 13 random basketball players and it feels like they were constructed like that it feels like Troy Weaver was playing backyard basketball and was just picking players doesn’t feel like

There’s any Rhyme or Reason to why they picked the players that they picked and Troy you don’t get to make this team and then go on the wge podcast and be like oh yeah we need shooting what were you doing this whole off seon congrats you

Got Joe Harris who’s on his way out Joe Harris went to Brooklyn when it was Pistons Nets and Joe Harris got a standing ovation and I think that’s the only reason why Monty Williams played in that game cuz he’s not in the rotation what’s happening to Marvin Bagley why is

He still on the bench we’re just playing James wisman for fun are we trying to win games no it doesn’t feel like it is but Monty Williams tries to make decisions I don’t think Monty William Monty Williams is not trying to win games dude if he was trying to win games

And Marvin baggley would not be getting DMP coaches decisions and I can’t believe that I’m at that level where I’m like let’s get Marvin Bagley some paying time like the bar is so low like I don’t like it’s gotten to the point where every Monty Williams decision just fills me with more

Questions like hey what’s the big idea the only players this year that I haven’t been like completely like annoyed by at certain times are probably K Cunningham Jaylen Duren and Stanley Amud cuz when Stanley Amud took the court I was like wow this guy’s playing with nothing to lose he’s playing his

Heart out I have nothing bad to say you were trying hard you’re hitting threes you were making the the right plays haven’t seen him in like over a month that’s fine this K Cunningham injury also has me very scared that Marcus Sasser is going to get some point guard

Minutes which we have already seen is no bueno right now that’s not going to work it’s not going to work right now and it’s not going to be fun watching them try to learn on the Fly and I think the worst part about all of this is that there there is a

Possibility there’s a possibility that after all of this the front office will be like well we shouldn’t make any moves right now because Kate is hurt and that would be this will be the new excuse to do nothing that’s the that’s the most insulting part out of all of

This is that this Piston’s front office has done absolutely nothing except sign Kevin Knox who was on the roster last year that’s like when I play Fantasy BAS basketball and I like wave someone one week and then pick them up the next week because no one else in the league wants

Them or is bothering to be like hey this is who we need right no one is like out bidding me for that that’s the most insulting part out of all this is that you have one of the most dedicated fan bases in the league has to sit idly by and watch this

Front office do absolutely nothing week after after week after a week the Pistons didn’t win a game for about 2 months in year four of a rebuild a season after Troy Weaver wrote to the fans that we will be better how does Troy Weaver still have a job like it’s absolutely unacceptable

And I feel like I can’t name a lot of franchises in the big four sports that would allow this to keep continuing and it’s really weird on Tom gor’s part who like has fired coaches midseason and like he should fire the GM now you got Van Gundy out of there you’ve made

Decisions before why is this time different why is this the stretch where hey we’re bad let’s just keep being bad why is this the stretch where it’s like hey we have a really special NBA Talent let’s do nothing to help him why is this the time it’s very puzzling

Don’t get it and now we’re all going to see well we already know Pistons fans already knew but every other team we play now until Kade gets back is going to realize just how bad this team really is in terms of supporting Cade and being bad without Cade like you can really

Tell how good an NBA roster is constructed by how they play when their best player isn’t available when the Grizzlies lost John Morant last year for multiple reasons that team kept on trucking because they were good pieces in place tus Jones was there to help

Don’t worry J I got it I’m just not going to turn the ball over I can’t do what you do athletically but I’m going to be efficient not turn the ball over and we’re going to keep on going every good team in the league unless it’s a Lebron team honestly even

Even a Lebron team I feel like there’s there’s a lot of burden on LeBron yada yada but every good team in the league if they if they’re missing a player for a game you can tell by just how well like the next man up for Pistons there

Is no next man up it’s just Cade it’s ju there’s no next man up here this roster was already incompatible when he was there now he’s gone the onoff stats tell the story as well what what are you going to do I don’t have any real
