Pistons are down by 31 I’m not like not 31 they’re down by 21 right now with one minute left but they I believe at one point they were down by 30 now finish in that game out uh it’s it’s not not not great um and then we’ll talk about reasons to watch for

The rest of the year and you may be wondering if you don’t know about the news for Isaiah Stewart and AAR times you may be wondering well C what do you mean why are you asking what are there reasons to watch for the rest of the year um today we got some absolutely

Terrible news um that Isaiah Stewart will be missing the rest of the year with the hamstring injury that we watched them uh suffer in this last game and what is really really horrible news and and concerning news and and bigger than basketball news um assar Thompson

Will be missing the rest of the year due to a blood clot um that’s very obviously it’s a very serious thing and I pray and and wish assar a speedy recovery and he gets back to 100% and that they get everything worked out with that it’s nothing long lasting and nothing you

Know no it’s serious but not as know threatening as as you know it could be like and the Pistons release press release sound positive sound like a positive outlook that he’s GNA continue um he’s gonna get back to basketball activities as when the season ends so it

Sounds like it’s it’s they’ve got under control but I’m not going to speculate it’s very serious thing and everyone should take it serious and we wish assard Thompson a a speedy recovery and a full recovery um with that um look and again like I said it’s that’s bigger

Than basketball but it’s a basketball podcast so we got I gotta bring it back to basketball with it I feel bad for Pistons fans I like I I think I’ve said this before throughout on the podcast throughout this season but right now I truly I just feel I feel so bad

For Pistons fans right now because before this year there was so much hope and optimism and so much energy to want to watch this team so many fans were so excited to watch this team this year and I I kid you not it feels like at every

Turn like Pistons fans are just getting kicked down like just stomped on and just pushed around like it just when you think it can’t get worse it gets worse like I truly I could not have possibly imagined this season going any worse than it has went for Pistons fans they

Thought they win more games you get 28 27 28 game losing streak you you suffer you got everyone questioning the young core you got everyone questioning the front office you’re in the first year the head coach and people are questioning the head coach two months into the season people

Are chanting sell the team at at at at uh home games I believe I witnessed or or not witnessed I heard George Blaha mentioned on the broadcast tonight that the Pistons will have played 30 players this year which would tie an NBA record for most played by a single team in the in

An NBA season NBA history and you’ve had injuries up and down the roster the start the year you had injuries to guys they brought in you the start of you had injuries to Buon Monte Burks throughout the year you’ve had some injuries to K Cunningham Jaylen durren Isaiah Stewart now now assar

Thompson not gonna be able to even finish out his rookie year you not even get to watch him play this final month of the Season Isaiah Stewart for a back-to-back season is now missing going to end his season injured like I I feel I TR like I I mean

This very sincerely I I feel so bad for Pistons fans I like it’s it’s I I don’t know what to say to him I I don’t know what to say to you guys it’s just it’s it’s it’s been it’s been one of the most rough Seasons I can I can remember in my

Time watching the NBA for Pistons fans it’s tough man it’s tough to not to your first overall pick to to flash how he has this this season with assar Thompson and for the end of the season remember like right at the deadline when they made these trades the whole like

Momentum the whole the whole conversation was spend the rest of the year seeing if you can end on a high note see if you can end on a positive note see if you can play uh a better brand of basketball can your guys fit together can they play

Together do they make each other better and now the Pistons can’t like it feels like that decision I mean I talked about in the last episode James talked about it in his article today which was he basically said a lot of the same things I said on the podcast which was good to

Cool to see but like you you the Piston’s hand is definitely forced at this point because you’re not get to see now you don’t even get to see what they look like to end of the year you don’t get to have Isaiah Stewart the rest of you don’t get to have assar Thompson

With them the rest of the year the Pistons in this game were starting they not only by the way I have even mentioned Grimes is out Tech is out now the Pistons starts this game with Kade Ivy Stanley yud tosan and Jaylen durren like it’s it’s this season truly has

Been a season from hell for everybody involved like I I if you would have told anybody at the beginning of the year that this is how the season would have went I don’t think there’s one person on planet Earth that would have believed you like I I don’t know what else to say

For you guys man this is terrible news obviously I mean I think St is gonna be fine hope he gets back to 100% but really assar I like that’s really worrisome to hear blood clot so hope he gets back to full strength so wishing hoping and sending send send Good Vibes

To to assar and his family um the team and again I I’m sorry for you guys man I’m sorry seriously I’m just I’m sorry that this season has went this badly that this season has went at every turn like taking a left turn it’s just

Lockon Pistons hit that subscribe button or leave us a star review on whatever podcast platform you’re listening to the on that’s another great way to support the podcast in the first half of this game against the Indiana Pacers the Pistons were in a close game I mean it

Was they weren’t leading they were down um but they were only down by uh 11 points and even at the 11 point mark it wasn’t as like if you watched the first half it didn’t feel like it was a 10-point plus game like the Pistons were in it the Pistons were definitely still

In this game and then the third quarter of the Pistons just got blitzed they just got absolutely blit blitzed they got destroyed and I what happened I mean Kade had one of the worst starts to a quarter that I’ve seen him have in quite a minute

Like in quite a minute and it’s crazy that that happened because in the first half he was seven of 10 and just played one of the best halves of his season he was playing spectacular in that first half the the the pace could not guard him and then in the third quarter he

Missed his next nine shots to start the third quarter and it wasn’t like any of those shots were like bad shots it wasn’t like they were tough shots he just all of a sudden just couldn’t make anything he just like for the be at the beginning of the third quarter the first

Six minutes seven minutes of that third quarter Cade could not buy anything like he went from being as hot as possible to being on triple double watch in the first like eight minutes of the game I think he had 10 points five rebounds or five assists four rebounds like in the

First 10 minutes of the game in the first half he was playing exceptional and then he just went cold in the third quarter for a whole seven minutes and then the Pacers with with their incredible offense took that opportunity to completely destroy the Pistons that seven minute spree and the game was over

Just like that in the seven minute spree that Kade could not buy a bucket it was over it was done it ended right there the game ended right there Pascal cakam had a good game against him tyus hurn had a good game against him he threw

About 25 nol look passes stunning on the Pistons uh I mean I mean that was really the story of the game and that’s it and there’s nothing else to it that third quarter the Pistons came out and their best player couldn’t buy a bucket and that was it

That that was that was it now of course the Pistons I mean these are the players that the Pistons had to end up playing tosan who was actually fine I thought but tosan Stanley yud chimeny made to James or not James wisman I’m sorry um Troy Brown Jr Malachi Flynn buddy

Beheim like these are the guys who ended up playing minutes in this game so I mean obviously the Pistons were really short-handed and were outmatched skill-wise but they were still in this game until that third quarter and they just got blitzed K couldn’t buy a bucket he had a bad

Turnover too trying to throw Cross Court a skip pass and it was just once he started missing it the floodgates just opened um Jaylen durren did not have a very good game three of eight from the floor 11 points 12 rebounds it’s just some of his shot attempts just

Weren’t very like his his shot selection as of over the last few months has been very questionable and you saw that a lot in this game defense is still you know something left to desire just wasn’t very active on that end either um jayen

Ivy had a a decent game um I thought he had a fine game 15 points six of 13 from the field but wasn’t nothing crazy I I don’t he didn’t really like I If he had 15 points I didn’t even realize he had 15 points you just didn’t feel it um so

Everyone just had a bad game like from top down the Pistons just fell apart they just fell apart part uh none nobody had a good game I would say besides tosan like that’s it and against the Indiana Pacers if you go a few minutes without scoring if you go a long stretch

Like that when you just can’t buy a bucket their offense is lethal enough to where not only you giving them transition opportunities because you’re missing they’re getting defensive rebounds and pushing their offense is just so good that even in the half court they’re just G to score like like that

Quickly very fast and if you can’t keep up it it will get out of hand very quickly and that’s what happened in this game I don’t know what else to tell you guys hopefully the Pistons can get Quinn Grimes back they can get Tech back like

That’s they need those guys on the wings they absolutely need them they they have to make a decision on Quinn Grimes and he’s barely even gotten to play and in the time he has been able to play you’ve liked some of the other stuff but he

Hasn’t been able to hit a three for his life like you’d like to be able to make a decision on him before the season ends at least feel confident in the decision you have to make on law seon instead of just doing it blindly and they’re not having the chance to do

That so hopefully he gets healthy and can play some games hopefully maybe he’s back Friday I I don’t doesn’t sound like it but hopefully so hopefully Tech can return soon um but yeah I another loss to the Pacers just a and the Pacers have been struggling lately too that’s that’s

The part that’s tough because the Pacers haven’t been playing great tyres hurn has been struggling and they came in and just like blew the doors off the Pistons at home at home in that third quarter I I like I I I’m still at loss of words

From why I watched in that third quarter Kade that might be the worst start to a quarter I’ve ever seen Kade play it just doesn’t make sense because of how hot he was in the first half he went to the locker room it’s like he guy his power

Zapped from him and he missed everything and in that stretch it was over it was over so um what what LO what number loss is this for the Pistons here that’s loss number 57 they’re not 12 and 57 um yeah not not great uh I you’d like

To see Cade I mean it looked like he was on his way to doing it this game and then just that third quarter happened you want to see Cade get back to being efficient the last few games he just has not been very efficient uh from the

Floor I know he missed last game due to uh um backend of a back toback with his knee knee management um but over the last few games like he’s struggling the last three games eight of eight of 20 19 points five of 15 11 points eight of 19

17 points and then this game uh nine of 22 for 23 points those last three games he’s before this one the last three games before this one he’s at 39% from the field 20% from Deep 15 points so he’s in a mini slump he is in a mini

Slump right now and you like to see him snap out of it again it looked like he was going to be snapping out of it in the first half I thought he was going to go for like 35 and then just I don’t know what happened happened don’t like

Seriously don’t know what happened um but yeah that that’s it that’s all that happened in this game against Indiana that’s why the Pistons lost is what it is let me know what you guys think about this loss is there anything that stood out to you guys I I mean only like three

Legit players played for the Pistons so I don’t know if you guys took anything away from this but if you guys did if there’s anything you guys could have taken away let me know in the comment section down below or over on Twitter at cuka Hill

When we come back is there any reason to continue to watch the Pistons and what is the reason to watch Pistons now with assar missing the rest of the year with Isaiah Stewart missing the rest of the year we’ll talk about that when we come back this episode is sponsored by

The question I think people are asking now is what what is there to watch with the Pistons the rest of the year now players are hurt you’re number one over or not number one overall pick but your first overall your first round pick assar Thompson is not out for the rest

Of the year Isaiah Stewart is not out for the rest of the year Tech is hurt you assume he’s gonna come back eventually though Grimes is hurt so now the whole idea of evaluating this roster after the deadline is out the window you like they got maybe two

Weeks to do that like how what was the game sample size they got what nine 10 games they got to look at this team with like a new like new guys around them like what’s the what’s the point of watching this team what is there to

Watch for the rest of the year well these are these are the only things I can come up with for you guys like honest answers I can come up with you guys one k Cunningham can he close the season out strong like I said he’s in a

Mini slump last four games is this just a mini slump or is he just like is he flatlining bad I think it’s clear it’s been I think it’s clear it’s going to be a mini slump the Maj for this entire season he’s been really good so I I I’m

Not GNA buy into this four game uh slump being like like anything more than just a slump but it is something worth watching is he in a mini slump can he get out of it how does he end the season can he end the season strong um that’s one um two

Jaden ivy can jayen Ivy find his three-point shot can he start to put some things together because he’s he’s absolutely taken a huge step back can Jane Ivy find his shot again and can he start to look like the player play or fans wanted him to be this season at the

End of the season can he can he end the season strong that’s number two number three Jaylen durren is Jaylen dur durren this is honestly probably a pessimistic one but Jaylen dur are you going to continue to see those bad habits the rest of the year where he eventually cut those bad

Habits out the bad shot selections the no longer passing stuff out is that something he’s going to cut out by the end of the year or is that something we’re going to continue to see more of I think if you do continue to see more of it then that becomes concerning in the

Off season so like really all your I think the main thing to watch for is your three main guys now and Kade Ivy and Duran and can Kade end the season strong will Jane Ivy find himself will he find the three-point shot will he find his shot will Jaylen Duran cut out

These bad habits that he’s been developing or will they continue to to arise and that’s really it that’s really it I want to say Can Quinn Grimes prove that he’s going to be a long-term piece for the team does he deserve to be resigned but as long as he I don’t know

How long he’s gonna be out I don’t know how long he’s gonna be if he was healthy he’d be like number two on this list but like he’s not he’s not healthy I don’t know when he’s coming back so the Pistons might be going to the offseason having to make a

Decision on him blind and I doubt they they’re just going to let him go after what they gave up for him I doubt it I extremely doubt it so I mean that that’s what I’d be looking forward to seeing for the rest of the year and that’s that’s really it that’s

Really it I again I’m gonna say why I said at the beginning of this podcast I am so sorry for you guys like I seriously I I feel so bad for all of you because this is this is not how this was supposed to go now it was supposed

To go but months left of the Season those are three things you should be watching for and krin Grimes can get get healthy that’s the fourth thing um that’s all I’ve got for you guys today man thank you guys for being locked on Pistons your first listen of every

Single day freom webar podcast platforms hit that subscribe button the YouTube channel leave us a f star r viiew on whatever podcast platform you’re listening to this on until next time I’ll see you guys later things will get more joyful I promise for everybody this will by Friday hopefully some Joys
