Detroit Pistons’ Slow Start: Is It Already Time To Worry?
Can the Detroit Pistons Turn Their Season Around? The Detroit Pistons have stumbled out of the gate with an 0-4 start, but is it too soon to hit the panic button? With a challenging early schedule, there’s hope for improvement as the season progresses.
Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey are showing promising chemistry, a bright spot amid the slow start. Yet, questions arise about Isaiah Stewart’s role, particularly his limited use as a three-point shooter. The upcoming game against the Philadelphia 76ers, missing key players like Joel Embiid and Paul George, presents a crucial opportunity for the Pistons to secure their first win. Defensive struggles remain a concern, with the team ranking 25th in the league.
Will the Pistons capitalize on this chance and address their defensive woes? Tune in for an in-depth analysis and insights into the Pistons’ strategy and potential path forward.

Ok. I was pissed and cosigned a googlob of negative comments…. Pistons back on the path to playoffs tomorrow.
OUTSTANDING points, Ku! GO PISTONS!!
We need a big man. And Tobi needs to be better
I'm staying patient… I still think they need to gel and coach is learning what works. He needs to make adjustments, but I'm not worried yet. I love the fight from them and think they will figure it out. What concerns me is the Ausar situation and not knowing a f-ing thing about his ability to return… I can't wait to see him again.
I think the vets got to be better but Cade does too. I've never understood why Cade has to be the PG. I know he has to be with the current roster. He's a very good playmaker but he might be a better scorer especially from mid range. I know he didn't want to come here but a guy like a Tyus Jones archetype would be great for us I think. At least to initiate offense and have Cade and Ivey off ball as a secondary playmakers and scorers. Cade is really good but asking him to average 30 pts and 10 assists just to be competitive in games is a lot.
No Embiid or PG tomorrow. A big chance for our first win!!
Pistons better beat the sixers on Wednesday night 10/30/2024
paul george & joel Embiid are nothing playing that night
We knew beforehand that our first 25 games would be brutal. We managed to stay in the game on all games so Far. It IS a positive. We don't go cold the whole team in all those games and we're 2-2.
The worry is carried over from last year and for good reason. You can't ad some has-beens and draft a couple of maybe able to contribute someday rookies. lose your last year draft pick maybe indefinitely and have success. At least last year they won a few early games while the other teams were still coming up to speed. Now they are on their way to a worse season this year and from watching the first 4 games 4th quarter woes it's pretty clear that the coach doesn't know how to lead. Honestly why let them hoist so many 3's when they had the lead? Slow the pace, move the ball around and get high percentage "down LOW" shots. Losses is what you get with free for all BS. Oh and Yes, Tobias is done.
Panic only in 4th quarter
With T Harris struggling with the 1st unit, and the 2nd unit has 2 guys in that can’t shoot 3s(Holland 1for 9, Stewart is 0 for 3s and offers very little offense). Teams are figuring out they can double Team Cade or Ivey with the 2nd Team. This will be continuing problem for them.
They def do not run enough P&R with Ron it makes no sense also the opportunities that stew does get to shoot take them please
