Dwane Casey benched Killian Hayes and Isaiah Stewart ahead of the Detroit Pistons game against the Houston Rockets. In a game where the Rockets did not play Jalen Green, Alperun Sengun, and Kevin Porter Jr., the new starting lineup didn’t play well. What is the logic to this coaching decision by Casey?

0 pride from the players and coaching staff. Actually negative -100 pride. Pistons are just content being a punching bag of the NBA.
NBA, Pistons, TANK!! ITS ALL TRASH BASKETBALL!!! AND you choose to promote fandule (gambling on sports) crazy way to love your Pistons!! If you think Gores wants to win and 89% of the league wants to win your dreaming!! Professional basketball is DOA!!! How will you continue to cover the Stones playing pick up basketball and no defense in the next 30 years?? Glad I followed the good years of Deeeeetroit BASKETBALLLLLLL!!
Stop being a Killian stan this team stinks and he is not a difference maker. The team sucks when he starts its time to let ivey get some time to develop. Let him be the main playmaker out there. Killian and cade both got that chance let ivey get his turn.
This is why I don’t listen to Pistons media or anybody that close to the team reporting, all they do is provide lip service or push whatever narratives the team wants them to push in exchange for media access to the team.
When things that absolutely make no sense start happening just know the Pistons are officially in tank mode for Victor!! 😂😂
Idk why the team or media thinks fans are dumb like we just woke up yesterday and started watching the NBA or basketball lmfao. I been watching this game for 20+ years, it’s clear as day what’s going on your not competing so stop the bs! 🤦♂️
Btw your last take is spot on and what I’ve been echoing this whole season; Hayes is EXPENDABLE now, especially when Cade comes back and if they have the opportunity to land Scoot! If the Pistons plan on running any 3 guard lineups in the future it needs to be ELITE, otherwise some fan favorites will get moved for other players that fit this roster!
Bojan n Bey star in Casey's "white flag" defense!!! Wave that flag!!!
Make it to the NBA and make millions and don't need to win!! Just forget about what your coaches taught you in high school! Basketball is no longer a sport- its betting through the gambling apps for the public and the players!! All sports is unfortunately in the graveyard of losing and the owners don't care to win- they don't need to win to make money. Stadiums could set empty and the owners still make money bc of Bally sports gambling network!!
Its not Casey. The Pistons dont box out. They play so soft. We should start playing zone defense. They need to put Bog on the bench and start HD.
1. KILL
2. Ivey
3. HD
4. Stew
5. Duren
He better not be reppping Killian starting lol
Killian Is bench.. young fellah lol. He should get used to being sixth man. He will not be a starter once CADE comes back. Ivey needs the experience on how to be a better "combo guard" meaning, not only on how to be a better scorer at the point of attack, but also a better playmaker.
You have been a MAD hater recently lol it's like you expect them to turn around mid season without Cade and a bunch of young guys lol remember what team you're watching, bro. This ain't Denver or something. BUT…. Keep the hating on Casey cause dude is a terrible coach the past 3 seasons
Cade MIGHT be the 1st player to not sign the Rookie extension. Seriously.
Ivey, Burks and Duran looked good together the last two games. Killian and Dialo look better then Ivey and Dialo
"I'm just some dude that hosts a pistons podcast" 😂
Love your work Ku! I just feel like Casey is the only coach in the NBA that sabotages his own players …. “Too Compete 😂”
KU going off..😄😄
Calm down KU. When you get upset just think Victor or Scoot. Don't read too much into lineups. Guys will swing in and out all season. Also, Ivey needs time at the PG. It will make him a better SG. Remember when Joe and Isiah would swing between 1 and 2 depending on who is hot that night.
It's casey
If there is any comfort, guys, there are a lot of Rockets fans are pretty pissed that we won this game, cuz a loss would have secured a 3 games gap between Rockets and Piston. P.S. I’m a die-hard Rockets fan
By the way, Ku, we have a general consensus among die-hard Rockets fans that the reason why we won this game is actually because we got Lucas coaching this game. We probably would have lost this game if Silas was coaching it
I've said it for it for the past few years that Casey is petty and has his picks and only play players because Weaver get on him when he don't. The players really don't want to play for him. He lost this team a few years ago but he's the head coach. Every few games the players show you what this team could be with a good head coach that won't play head games with the players.
I also said Casey will ruin our young players, that is the ones he don't like because he's petty. Watch how he play some players to make them look bad. They have to do what he say because he's the head coach. Petty as a fuc*.
