It's finally a great time to be a Pistons fan again!! Very excited with the future of this team and how we are moving in the right direction. Shoutout to all the young guys buying in, as well as Trajan and JB doing the right things on and off the court!! Great listen as always Ku. Thank you for all the effort you put in with the podcasts and everything else Pistons related. One of my fav people to follow for sure
Thj doesn’t need to play 25 minutes while sasser gets none if they let him just cook when he’s actually playing
Catch lightning in the playoffs
What's are record without Cade this year?
They don’t give you a press credential?
Fun night tonight! Big games coming up, and we can win em 🎉
Thanks Ku for providing worth for the OG. I love uncle Tim. His dad critique his performance every game I bet you even though he is so stoic at the game. 😊
We saw you on TV my guy.
Tough final stretch. This team is stock full of role players up and down the bench stepping up in Cade absence…but we need Cade back healthy this late in the season
Bizmack was a top ten pick in 2011 and is 32 years old… how are you shocked that he’s still in the league lol
Funny you say Jordan Clarkston type role when you need look no further than a Beasley type role.
This team is fun to watch and in my opinion reminds of the "Bad Boys of 88+ Going to Work 04 combined into one…and they built for a run…wait for it
Duren good boxscore game but awful on defense again. Vassel and Castle early in the 1st and 3rd torched him. Gave up a million rebounds to a team of guards
you were on TV
It's time to see Ausar and Holland on the court TOGETHER!!! Sasser is a BETTER option than Schroeder…I would MUCH rather see Cade/Beasley/Holland/Ausar/Duren STARTING!!! Let the vets come off the bench and be the scoring punch missing off the bench with starting Beasley…ITS TIME…I PROMISE if JB switches and allows the youngsters to play 30+ while the vets play20 it would COMPLETELY change the dynamics of this team!!💪💪💪
We won't be able to keep Marcus Sasser unfortunately. We have Cade, Ivey, THJ, Schroder and Beasley. Beasley will probably resign with the team after this season. Maybe Schroder won't resign since he was really brought here because of Ivey's injury. And TMJ may not resign after this season. So it would be Cade, Ivey, Beasley and Sasser. But you still need a point guard off the bench. Sasser is a fan favorite that may have to get traded or walk when his rookie deal is done.
Watching Sasser channeling Allan Iverson over the last two games was an absolute joy.
At 17:05 you said it. “Microwave” we can always put him in to spark the offense. Tobias is not always helping us. We can go 3 guards(short time)we are the Freaking Detroit Pistons.
They could go crazy young boys.
Asar Ron Sass THJ and Stew or Paul
Run for minutes to spark up team and get starters rest
I think it’s tough to get Sasser minutes because he’s basically Beasley
Sasser is a tuff minded little dude who knows the fundamentals and has a ton of poise. He is valuable on the roster and as a trade chip. Problem? 6' 2".
The three vets together have been A+….Oh yeah….count Schroder in that now too.
This is playing gout so awesome now we get to see the bench shine its huge they stepping up happy for those players who sit long time then play i think we got couple g leagues also eventually but happy for them period
Im so sick of your love obsession with Ausar thompson.
The pistons are undefeated without Cade and Ivey with low turnover. Does this mean the pistons is a better team without them?
Beasley starts sasser backs up 2 shooting guards period can't pay Beasley next year and hard away gone both good players but…
We went from having teams sit players and still beating us to us sitting players and still beating them 💪 💪 💪
