  2. 2005 Pistons went 7 games in the Finals with San Antonio and lead into the 4th quarter. 2003, 2006, 2007, 2008 Pistons went to the Eastern finals. We basically were the best or second best record in the east for nearly a decade. Detroit will be a strong team for years, but now is the time to move towards a chip

  3. I'm already trusting a.i. tech with Google and at the markets with checkout sometimes. Absolutely will I never trust a man made powered robot(that could have a glitch or technical malfunction at any moment) with my life. I need human to human gold old fashioned interaction regardless of outcome or attitude.

  5. The east is a mess and the pistons are 5 games up name me any other team that the media said isn’t good enough lmao, if Boston had a 5 game lead and expanded it would you think they aren’t the best team

  9. OKC also isn’t a great 3pt shooting team. 33% in 2025 post season and they won the championship.

    Would be great to have another 3pt shooter on the pistons, just saying it can be done..

  10. I love how Rachel doesn’t really believe in the Pistons 😂 Has she played against them or something?

    Is Jason Tatum going to be as good as he was before he tore his achillies immediately? I mean he tore his achillies in … May? Most players sit out a year or longer. Coming back to soon risks injury. Also is he going to make JB less impactful because he won’t have the ball as much? I find it funny that ppl think Tatum is going to be the difference maker. Like he’s going to immediately be the same Tatum he was RIGHT AWAY after 1 of the most devastating injury less than a year later. He’s also going to be on a minutes restriction.

  11. The suns and kings were both interested in Kuminga. But the warriors refuse to play him and they have tanked his value. But they want more for him? Trash franchise. What Dunlevy said was awful and disrespectful. Also he basically told teams he’s not worth anything. Great job

  13. How to fix the All Star Game:

    1. Return to the East vs West format.

    2. Penalize the losing team by requiring each of its players to pay One Million Dollars to his designated rival on the winning team.

  14. The pistons DO NOT need to make ANY trade!!! Why is the media even suggesting it. Theyre going to the finals with what they have, which is EVERYTHING. This 3 point shooting need is nonsense. They are turning the league on its head by playing REAL basketball.

  19. Be sure to highly support robots taking human jobs. Great idea. BTW. I hitchhiked for years as a single girl. Couple incidents but manageable. I’ll pay a human

  24. Right now the PIstons have embarrassed the Knicks (and almost did so last year), beaten the Celtics (without Tatum) 3-1, they have the best record against winning teams and are top or number one in many defensive stats. So they have the East. They are making it to the ECF. They could lose due to inexperience or injury but they are still are favored to come out of the East even if Tatum comes back (Rachel do think he is coming back like when he went down). We don't know how well they stack against the West but the winning teams in the West, Suns and Houston, have lost to the Pistons. So, they are a contender right now.

    I know it was fast from the worst to the best but..
    The East is the Pistons.

  27. As a guy who played a lot of basketball before the 3-point shot entered the game, I remember when your coach would bench you if you jacked up a jumper from way outside. Nobody practiced the 3-point shot, so nobody was very good at making it. I semi-boggles my mind to see everybody shooting the 3 now, some better than others, but even the big guys can knock it down.

    Everybody on the Pistons can shoot rhe three, with Robinson being the best, if left open beyond the arc. The Pistons tend to go to the 3 when they are far ahead and the game is over for all practical purposes, and sometimes the final score is humiliating when the Pistons make a high percentage of those threes. I think even Robinson would object to being called a "3pt. shooter". Labeling a guy like that implies that is the only way he can score, and his defense is mediocre at best. Just because the Pistons prefer dunks to three point attempts doesn't mean they lack players who can make threes. Just becasue the total threes made this season don't include the Pistons near the top of that list might mean they merely prefer not to jack it up from out there.

  28. I don’t think Pistons need that shooting. They do almost all of their damage on the paint. They are a throwback team like a classic 90s team that prioritizing defense before their offense. Although adding shooting would help Cade facilitate, but the paint is their bread and butter.
