Hopefully our guys can develop under him
Good
THE SOUTH EASTERN CONFERENCE AND ACC CONFERENCE HAS DESTROYED THE HARD WORK MENTALITY OF DEFENSE. INTELLIGENT LAYUPS ARE THEIR GREATEST ASSET TO NBA S LEGACY
pistons should check langdon iq level 65 million cause of this low average coach really
Why didn't they hire a Podcaster like JJredick
Bad hire . Brotha coaches cant win nba titles . Before you say Joe mazulla realize his father is 100 percent white so don’t act like he is one of your own when his childhood had no influence of a brotha culture
Trajan is doing favors for his friends. That’s all that’s going on. Pistons will be a better team for it though
😂😂😂
Oh boy JB sure hope you know what you're doing going there
It’s not about the coach man ITS THE TEAM😂 yes you got a new head coach with great potential but left him with the same core that couldn’t win more than 30 games the past few years 😂 0:55
That's real good for him I'm a lakers fan but as a black man. This a nice hiring for the piston good look plus he turn the cavs around. The cavs did him wrong after he got that team to the playoffs last year
This inept franchise makes one poor decision after another.
How is he going to do better than monty williams again? Their roster is garbage
Another retread
those saying this is a great hire, what are you basing that on? very curious to know.
More proof that T.Langdon is Stan VanGundy in a rented Grant Hill costume.
JB BICKERSTAFF SHOUD NEVER HAVE TAKEN THIS JOBBAFTER TURNI G THR CAVS AROUND TOBALLOW A WHITE COACH ,KENNY ATKINSON REAPED TH3 BENEFIT. JB BICKERSTAFF SHOULD HAVE TAKEN A PAID VACATION AND LET SAM CASSELL GET A. OPPORTUNITY TO BE A HEAD COACH. THR PISTONS ARE. A BAD TEAM
WHEN MARK JACKSON GOT THE WARRIORS JOB THEY WERE LOSERS WHO HELPED TURN INTO WINNERS
STEVE KERR REAPED THE BENEFITS
WHEN JB BICKERSTAFF GOT THE CAVS JOB THEY WERE LOSERS THAT HELPED TURNED INTO A WINNIG TEAM AND NOW WHITE KENNY ATKINSON IS GONNA REAP THE BENEFITS
JB BICKERSTAFF SHOULD HAVE TAKEN THIS JOB HE SHOULD HAVE LET SAM CASSELL TAKE THIS JOB
Bickerstaff is a good coach I was shocked when he got fired from the Cavs, he’s shown he can develop young guys and they play hard for him.
Then fire him after 1 yr…rinse repeat amd waste some money…lol
He’s a great coach, a players coach, I’ll be rally surprised if he doesn’t turn things around in Detroit.
Another long contract, this better not go sideways
They are going to fire him next year
I don’t care if JB is coaching the Detroit Pistons he’ll do a horrible job there like he did in Cleveland he doesn’t know how to play players that are talented and should be out there on the court he did a terrible job of his rotations of players he should’ve played more and that’s why Donovan Mitchell is the reason he’s gone will see how long he’ll last with the Pistons he’ll be out of work soon!!!!!!!
Pistons with these long deals why not 4 lol
He’s just a “rebuild” coach that you can’t expect too much out of. He fucked in the post-season constantly.
If he does the whole 5 years, I think he’ll do very well
Another losing streak incoming
I COMPLETELY FORGOT HE WAS AVAILABLE. SO THE LAKERS HIRED JJ OVER MONTY AND JB. 2 SUCCESSFUL COACHES
The Pistons owner is a loaded idiot. Another 5 year guaranteed contract for another coach he knows he is going to fire again before that deal ends rofl.😂😂
We live in North Korea
Breaking records left and right! Lets see how many more 5 year contracts they can hand out in the following years. 😂
