Let's hear it KU!👍
Stew can shoot the three but not the three footer! Jeez
It’s time to move on from Dwane , he will never win the championship. This team was the worst shooting team last year and poorest defense this year. They are “forever young” and never grown up!😊
My take away from the article,
1. It’s been difficult to evaluate the team without Cade.
2. He’s giving positive affirmations and words of encouragement to Hayes. Maybe Hayes just needs that because he lacks the dog mentality but Hayes as well as Stew have shown improvement.
3. He’s really high on Livers
4. He’s really high on Duren
5. He Knows Ivey is hungry to be a star and definitely has the dog Mentality.
6. We have high character hardworking guys.
7. Don’t think anybody’s safe except Cade or Duren if the right offer comes pieces will be moved!
It will never benefit a coach or GM to openly criticize a player (Ben Simmons) or be 100% transparent with their plans or expectations, nice interview though. Btw you guys are extremely young when it comes to pistons and basketball in general!
The Rockets coach is soft and doesn’t hold his players accountable at all!
I'm disappointed!! Y'all keep giving Weaver a pass…GARBAGE!!! We got rid of Blake before Houston got rid of Wall…who are the BIG contracts in Orlando??? Y'all keep talking about character…WE WANT FOOD PLAYERS!!! We are WAYYYYY past making a BIG BLOCKBUSTER trade that could've been made since last year!!! Why not package a few of these players for a bonafide star…which we DON'T have…. including Cade!!! I love Cade's game and potential…but HE IS NOT A STAR, yet…he has been outplayed by his draft counterpart since entering the league…and has been less healthy…let's keep it real, how about that??? How about the $40+ mil Weaver had to work with last off-season??? I mean KD and Kyrie were ON THE BLOCK!!! And what did he do with it??? Bagley, Noel, Burks, Bog🤦 This roster is in shambles!!! Right now OG or Siakam, Kuzma, Collins or Young, Wood, SGA, Turner …I can go on and on… WEAVER IS A HORRIBLE GM AND CASEY IS A HORRIBLE COACH!!!
The Knicks GM whipped Casey's ass this year!!!
Just call the podcast “Locked on Hayes” now! 😂😂
Well done Jack repping us Aussie Pistons
This gets real old. The losing and the excuses for losing. I only watch trying to see will Bey go for another 51 or will Jules Bernard get time. Other then that what are we watching
Killians was terrible today What you say KU? Lets hear the excuses…
This Killian take didn't age well today…
Brutal game last night…
But I hope it was a fluke…
Dope show. Thanks guys
So killian averages 9.8 pts a game, in his 3rd year in the league and we think he MADE IT? So now he’s a average nba player and he deserves a pat on the back? He was awful against Chicago. So as a fan, we should be happy with that? Our expectations in Detroit are low. Big summer because the talent on this team is lacking
If Killian can bounce back from a disappointing game some might even say embarrassing performance in the Paris game he is gonna be alright. A lot of built up pressure going into it and maybe it got to him but also could've been just an off night
Beef stew and Killian Hayes were very hard to watch tonight.. These guys arent shooters. Killian Hayes needs to focus on setting Hami for a layup/dunk and Saddiq Bey for a 3 pointer. Beef stew doesn't offer anything.
Great guest dope ep 👌
Where abouts in Australia is Jack living? Cos its hot 🥵 asf here atm and dude is wearing a hoodie
Also Bruce brown wasn’t paid to go away, TROY WEAVER traded him for Daniel musa bro 🤷🏽♂️ let’s not forget that 💯
This team needs a new COACH…..
this is killing me watching all this young talent and no direction….
Fact of the matter is guys we have tons of trade bait on this team and outside of Cunningham we don't have one player any other team thinks about and considers a baller. We're a team of career journeymen and backups. Plus Cade who probably will never be good enough to be a first or second best player on a championship team who now has to fight back from injury…
🤔..I wonder why saban Lee is gone' and Corey Joseph and mcgruder is still here'
🤣I agree "kill" had a bad game…..so did the rest of the pistons…but why is "kill" is the only name being mentioned " …
Hey man, great content. I would suggest trying to nail down one point at a time and try not to ramble. You asked your guest to explain the ongoing Rockets problems but kept talking so much that he either forgot to answer or felt he needed to address other points you brought up.
Pistons are to small in defense, against Chicago Bogdanovic was guarding bigger guys than him ( He done an OK job, for player not playing defense )
When I saw other players on Pistons, they couldn`t guard a smaller child!!! C`mon man, pathetic
You`re gonna tell me 34 year old Bojan has to do everything ( I know they are tanking )… Who will play with Cade, this players witout Bogdanovic… shittt
I don't watch the pistons anymore. I do check their record now and then. What's going on there? This rebuild has been going on for years. Do they have a plan or what? Seriously like to know.
