I’ve been telling folks Killian is Jason Kidd in the making and the fact he did this right in front of J-Kidd gives me chills. Wouldn’t be surprised if Dallas makes a qualifying offer especially with no other playmakers
WHERE ALL THEM HATERS AT!!!!
I'm really glad Killian and Bagley are playing well.
3 years 4 games wow ur really impressed easy
They tried to write him off but he didn't write back
LOL! Happy for you, Ku. Happier for Killian. This was indeed a special night, following a series of games that proves it's real.
I told yaw bro Killian and Ivey is our backcourt embrace it it's best for the team. KILLIAN let's go 👏
I can go all the way back before his injury at about 10 games in and they were calling him a bust. I’m with you on this one Ku.

Killian Hayes is showing he is the Killa
He’s playing great now! He’s finally turned the corner
Ku's on a real high, up checking our comments at 2 AM. LOL. Get to bed, newlywed! 😉
I never doubted him….Hayes ONLY problem has been Casey took the ball out of his hands
He should be our pg next year, move Cade to sf and Ivey to sg and Duren to C.
Man look, I’m half way in bro I share yo excitement I’m in lockstep. As a Stons fiend I know what actually happened to him from the beginning. Cade being hurt is the 🔑. He was clogging everything up. It’s up here from now on for Killa.
Can you tell me why teams (and every team does it it seems) has tremendous success moving the ball and getting good shots and then in what they call (down the stretch) they totally abandon what has worked the whole game and put it in one man's hands to go one on one. They call that guy the closer and to be honest it usually turns out bad. Why don't they keep doing what is working? Killian was doing so well at the end of regulation so what do they do in the final minute? They have him take the ball out of bounds and don't even let him touch it. Are you kidding? The man was on fire! Oh wait, it wasn't the Killian time now…step aside young man and let the pro's take care of the game. They did and almost lost it. Killiian saved them in Overtime. Now if Cade was on the floor would Killian get the shots he needed? Probably not…The ball would be in Cade's hands. That is something about pro basketball I just don't get and every team does it.
I hope saddiq can find his stroke again soon
Bojane majstoreeee! Thats fine, they dont need to talk bout you Babo, you know what you do. They are sad thay cant find a bad part about your game today to knock you down about. Lets talk about the "Hayes game" ( 22pts lol ). Good to have Ivey back, excited to watch him.
Ku he started to figure it out it’s starting to slow up for him now that he’s getting playing time
If Killian somehow becomes consistent He would be our best pure point guard and should start. Next year we could start Cade at SF and Ivey at SG and kill teams. If we can get a defensive-minded center.
Killakilla Hayes 🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾
You need to talk about the best player and that is Bojan. I don't understand why do you have a problem to talk about the man that is the best every single game, he had a very good defensive night also so don't just squirt on Hayes and Ivey talk about the real players.
The confidence Killian had in OT when he was pounding them filthy daggers 💯
Ku I’m with you all the way! I’m been preaching give him some time since he been drafted even tho injuries played a part in his process..he coming and watch how ppl look at kill different once that happens
This is a play in squad if they can turn it around soon. And if Cade comes back, Hayes becomes a beast off the bench
Rooting for Killian he’s been looking better and better 🔥. Cade doesn’t even have to be the pg killian can be that, Cade can be a similar to jayson tatum(can handle the ball but doesn’t need to) let the point guard facilitate.
I am so proud of Kill. He’s been fighting through frustration, bad shooting, mental lapses, and vitriol from fans. In the face of it all he kept working. He kept defending. He kept getting to his spots. Now his hard work is showing.
Killian’s defining moments came in the fourth quarter and overtime. That sequence where he came down and hit three straight midrange J’s was surreal. And just to prove he was in complete control he followed that up with getting into the lane and setting up Bags for an easy layup.
I cringed when we went to overtime but Kill stepped up again with two absolutely pure in rhythm threes.
Hats off to Bogdanovic for his performance against Luka and most of all for giving Kill the ball to bring up and run the offense.
Kudos to Jaden for the fearless way he not only attacks the lane but also swished that clutch three.
I’m loved watching Beef take developmental steps taking guys off the dribble and getting into the lane.
Loved seeing Beef and Bags gobble up boards, Duren abuse the rim, Saddiq play with physicality, Burks be a bucket off the bench and all our guys stay engaged through this rough season.
I love my Pistons.
Killa Hayes 🎉 when them
Threes went down I knew it was over he was feeling it ………ddeeetttrrrrroooiittttt bbaaassskkkeetttbbbbaaallll….
Wow isn’t it crazy what HAVING TRUST AND CONFIDENCE IN A PLAYER DOES. I don’t think people realize how hard it is to find a rhythm playing limited minutes and getting to only put up 6-11 shots a game. Killian is a talented player who can be a starting guard in this league I would love to see 3 guard lineups of Cade, Killian, Ivey or try to fit him in more because he needs to have the confidence and time. If the pistons aren’t going to do that and continue to let Kill rot on the bench then let him keep building up his value and trade him for something good. I don’t even want to start to think what we’re to happen if the pistons get the 2nd pick and are forced to take scoot then you have 4 guards. Some tinkering needs to happen or we need to see a trade can’t have 3 lead ball handlers battle for minutes ruins development and it’s not healthy.
Detroit fan here,yeah….big game yesterday vs Mavs and yeah ….Hayes was great but nobody gives a credit to Bogdanovic, ave 21 points for game ( 20.7 points). Yesterday 30 points….remove hime from the team and where are we ? I hate watching my Pistons loosing game after game and imagine without Boogey ! Anyway i have a big hopes for Pistons.
Ever since Sada ended the beef Killian been better 😂
I’ll admit I was losing/lost faith in Killian .. but to his credit the young lad has gone up a level. Hopefully Casey doesn’t supress him for whatever agenda is going on behind the scenes.. Ku honestly can you please find out what the go is with Cade!? … there are some hilarious comments on here about Cade 😂. This is still Cades team and how quickly everyone forgets how devastating a healthy Cade is to opposing teams. Far out folks have a short memory.
Hayes Game. Us that never gave up on him.. this was major for us
