Detroit Pistons: New Expectations – SWISH or BRICK Segment

11 comments

1. The fact that we're talking play-in and not just day by day get better or show growth, is a victory already!

2. We need defensive rebounding help!!!

3. I don't want LaVine on this team. Another star? Yes, but to get LaVine, we would have to give up Ivey. LaVine doesn't want to be here.

4. I said 32-35 wins this season from the beginning. JB Bickerstaff has been a revelation. These players are growing and progressing in the way we all hoped and collectively it makes them far more formidable than many imagined.

5. I thought it was called Swish or Brick 🧱. Not Swisher Break Wow.

6. I think that Orlando magic game looks a lot different with Ausar Thompson playing. As much as we want to say how different this team looks without Cade, we have yet to see how this team looks with a fully healthy and conditioned Ausar.

7. I think Jaden ivey should be the scoring option after Cade. Takes a lot of pressure off the vets. We got the vets to balance not take scoring load.

8. I see the piston at 41-41 9 seed play-in, good experience for the young guys who are leaps and bounds better then last season.

9. When you go through the east, we better hope our supposed franchise cornerstone is a all star guard. Brunson and Mitchell clearly better. Lamelo having a better year. He's competing with dame. Hali and Maxey. Old, no idea what's going on with him, and injured/bad team.

10. we MUST beat the bad teams because that is the ONLY way. God willing all our key players are healthy because this group is more than capable. Regardless… the overall talent is THERE!

11. The first one about Ivey being the number one scoring option. That works IF Cade continues to basically be the full time pg. I haven't like Cades ability to balance between distributor and scorer, too often he's forcing his way against a double or triple team, when he's distributing well he misses opportunities to get his own. Cade gets too many of the turnovers that just cannot happen, some I can live with. I think the turnover issue is partially due to him being asked to be the distributor and the number one scoring option. I want to see Ivey run the point full time for a few reasons, I want a bigger sample size when he's next to Cade, I think it helps with Cade and Ivey's development, when Cade plays off ball he gets so much more room to operate. Long term I think the best situation would be a combination of them both running point, something like 60-40 Cade over Ivey. Unless you add a true pg to the lineup, but the beauty is that it's not necessary.
