Banchero is so inefficient he could be a piston

****. That block by Cade on Suggs.

Cade has to be one of the best perimeter players at protecting the rim.

His lack of defense in the playoffs is what worries me. Not every team will have a Josh Hart or Mitchell Robinson to hide him on. KAT torched him when Duren had to guard him.

After all that, Pistons up 1 at half.

That should be a flagrant. Duren didn't mean to hit that rocket in the head but was still tossed. Suggs just hit Cade in the face.

Keep making those free throws, Duren. Up that trade value.

Ave they just lost their challenge in the second quarter.

Down7 at the end of the first. Orlando shooting 60% and Detroit 32%.

Didn't worry Jalen . 3 or 4 more years in the league and you will learn how to set a screen.

1-10 now. Harris 0-3 and Thompson 1-5.

Starting the game shooting 1-8 is not ideal.

Giving a **** how people spend their own money isn't high on my list of things to care about.

Our starting lineup has played the most minutes together at 33m59s. In that time, they: Are -24.7 points per/100 possessions (All of these stats will be per/100 unless otherwise noted) Attempt 1.4 more FG's than our opponents, but make 4.1 less. Their FG% is 5% worse than the opponents. Their 3PT% is 15 points lower than the opponents. They attempt 13 less FT's They create 5.5 fewer assists They get 6.8 fewer steals Turn the ball over 11 more times And they commit 7.5 more fouls

To be fair, his jumper makes me ill as well.

Sasser, LeVert, and Thompson all listed as questionable. Thompson is sick.

That was like one step for each brother he has on the team.

Never understood why nobody hits him. Lay him out once and he won't act like this.

This team needs to stop trying to play traditional basketball and embrace the chaos. They don't have the skill or roster makeup to play a beautiful half court game. They do have the athletes to play fast and create chaos. I know it's only four games, but their current pace is 14th in the league. With this young and athletic roster, they need to be top 3-5 in terms of pace. Think about the best basketball we saw last season. It was always when they played fast, both on offense and defense. High pressure defense, and run run run on offense. Embrace the chaos.
