CAUTION: Detroit Pistons’ Narrow WIN in Denver REVEALS Deep Shooting Concerns for Playoffs

31 comments

1. The 3 point shooting (and floor spacing) will catch up in the playoffs… you're right. But… how FAST we lose perspective. We were HOPING to make the playoffs last year… and the year before that?! Now… winning the East would make for a disappointing season? Standing pat and development isn't insane. This is Wild. 😂

2. Javonte Green was amazing this game. Those 2 fouls at the end were horrible calls by the refs that we couldnt challenge. He was one of the few reasons we were able to win this game. Also, this narrative about just leaving Ausar in to foul out vs taking him out and not putting him back in is silly. Hindsight is 20/20. Bickerstaff has no idea if he is going to need or want Ausar back in for a critical stretch in the 4th or if he wont need him because someone else is playing great, such as Green. You dont just assume you wont need him. Had he left him in to foul out he would be getting roasted even more… You crapping on Green today while whining about Ausar yet again just shows you are more of an Ausar fan then a Pistons fan… Go watch the 4th and watch all the critical plays Green made. I dont understand this strange LARPy obsession with SIMPing over one player on a team like it's a celebrity crush or something. The Pistons are a team and I dont care if it's Green or Ausar getting the job done in the 4th. This game it was Green. Fine.

3. Maybe Ausar was having breathing problems in the altitude

4. Stop complaining about the Game we won it doesn't matter because they didn't have joker or other starters we went though the same thing with everyone out and we won because we shot horrible from three we did good on not turnovers I see times we do good on threes but loose because we had to many turnovers every team go through this every game no team have a perfect game it's all about wins and loses we always complain when we loose a game or come close to loosing shit we in first place enjoy it remember 2 years ago we was the laughing stock of the league so be grateful we could been that way again this year nobody expected us to be this good or be even in discussions of anything I been a pistons fan since 87 and I live in Maryland i seen every good and horrible experience you could think of shit so far we been happy with 34 wins and only complain or cried about 11 loses so relax 💯

5. What do you expect KK. These were 2 good teams and the pistons won

6. Yeah 2 bad calls at the end timeouts to challenge

7. Why is this podcast less bearable when they’re #1 in the east than when they sucked😭😭

8. Lmao he just quoted Patrick 😂😂😂 Ku is the goat!

9. Your takes be trash sometimes bruh

10. He missed because ball don’t lie

11. Duncan and Tobi are enigmas. Don't know if Duren is going to be a consistent offensive presence. All these reasons why my expectations is 1 playoff series win. Anything else is a bonus. A young team that needs more stability.

12. I'm not sure how it all works, but I never see a comentator talking about it. If we give Caris + trade exception, don't we make up for Tobias, contract value in a trade?

13. Ku don't worry. Yes they only won by 2 points and Denver didn't have Jokic, Gordon, Cam Johnson or Christain Braun but don't forget JB didn't have Caris LeVert so it's all good.

14. Ball 👏 don't 👏 lie 👏 or… Jamaal Murray bet opposite from the refs. 😂

15. Every game isn’t going to be pretty. Take the win and move on.

16. How many games have we had with <25% 3pt%?? At this point I'm fine sending Tobias + JI + Sasser and picks for MPJ. Give sasser a chance for minutes.

17. They’re first from worst. Just be happy.

18. 15:36 who is to say we don't make two moves and bring back another older vet 4 who would likely be available on the buyout market.. Kyle Anderson? MPJ + beef + Kyle Anderson + Paul Reed looks okay to me…

19. Piston starters shot 7 % from 3 last night and 1 starter made 1 3PT shot. Ku take – trade Ivey.

20. I said it before a lot of these piston fans are not real piston fans. They’re Lions fans in disguise who don’t know basketball. Once you hear them start talking about 90s basketball and how physical it is or saying foolish things like we can win without shooting 3s you shouldn’t even engage in conversations with them

21. Just don’t understand why Ivey isn’t playing

22. Ku – they beat a team on the road that is what, 2 years removed from a championship? Yes, they should feel good about a W. We get it, you want a trade- but enjoy the ride too!

23. Norman Powell is available. All-star …✅. Seth Curry or Buddy Hield

24. We went from crying over L’s to complaining about wins. 😂😂😂

25. Woo didnt foul nobody lets be real

26. Stop shooting the damn 3s.

27. Honestly they didn’t play well I agree, but they were in control the entire game. So that says a lot. Seeing how many missed threes etc… another “bad” win but it shows how good they are and can be.

28. Cut JB some slack he is still trying recover from not having LeVert to close the game. You rant about Green making two boneheaded fouls and criticize JB for not playing Ausar who you just admitted was benched for making two boneheaded fouls. JB was flustered because he couldn't close with LeVert instead.

29. What about taking out Malik Beasley

30. A win is a win. I don’t care who was out. I thought Pistons played well but did not shoot well. They had a ton of open looks and missed. If they just shot their season average, they would have destroyed them. Yes, the fouls were bad. But otherwise, the D was suffocating – D carries

31. perhaps last night was a coach’s measure as we come to some contracts and trade deadline . Comen playoffs he will keep the rotation to 8-9 excluding reed, green, sasser, Jenkins, klintman and Lanier. And Caris.

    Ivey should be first off the bench at guard getting 22 min not Jenkins. I hope JB is using his head
