I don't get Edwards love, I mean great player and Id love to have him but IDK to me he seems like he is "just" a pure scorer and not the overall playmaker that some of the guys behind him either are or potentially could be. 

[Deleterious]

From the department of duh.

 

[Sal Trent]

PLAY IVEY!!!  This guy is the most electrifying player on the team.  It seems our coach has benched him because of his defense?  If you want to punish someone, try Cade Cunningham.  He constantly throws the ball away & has 5 or 6 TOs every night.  He chucks the ball but only shoots 40%.  Hes always giving teammates orders, he thinks hes a star.    I'd rather see Ivey play before him.  Ivey could be the fastest player in the NBA.  PLAY IVEY  !!!

[Deleterious]

They already have Ivey listed as out for tomorrow.

G-Leaguers getting some run early in the season. Why wait until March to tank? The injury situation on this team has been ridiculous for multiple years now.

[Deleterious]

I never took the injury thing that seriously.  I assumed they were tanking and just holding guys out longer than normal to pile up the L's.  

Now?  Yeah, it might be a problem.  

Hopefully someone compiles all the missed games and compares it to other teams.

is this draft still considered to be extremely poor?

[Deleterious]

Seems like it is always a terrible draft this time of year.

A few early draft podcasts that I've listened to have continued to say that.

But, the college season just started and there's usually a few risers over the course of the year.

Also, there were similar narratives around the 2020 and 2022 drafts, but there are still plenty of players in those drafts that we'd love to have (Edwards, Haliburton, Maxey, Bane, Banchero, Holmgren, Murray, Sharpe, JWill, etc).

Nothing like going back to the dry well.

[Betrayer]

Wow. That's just painful.

[Tigerbomb13]

I know this team has some injuries but woof. And yawn.

That second T that got Giannis tossed is the softest thing I've ever seen.  Not much of a basketball fan, is that because of some new rule in the NBA about taunting?  

[gehringer_2]

Pistons build a 10 pt lead late with Sasser and Hayes, Cade comes back in and turns it over 3 times.

Yeah you're not allowed to scream directly in the face of the opponent to show him up but to me it looked more like Giannis was just trying to scream in the "hype up the crowd" type of way and Stewart just so happened to be right there. I only saw the one angle though, perhaps there was another angle that I didn't see that contradicts that notion. 

[gehringer_2]

Pistons fold like a cheap suit. Still so far away.

[MIguy]

Up by 10 with 6 minutes left and no Giannis and the Pistons lose?

If Cade Cunningham weren't Cade Cunningham, Monty would have put Killian back in the game and tried to recapture the flow the offense had that went straight down the tubes when Cade came back in. It's terrible to watch a team double Cade all the way out to the time line and the Pistons don't have the movement, passing, or shooting to pick up the easy buckets that should be making available.
