1. the Pistons did obviously not win, but they are still a great team. i know that they are professionals, and people expect them to win every time, but loses make you stronger and make you learn from your mistakes. i play basketball and i lost my game tonight. i am in 8th grade, and we played our biggest rivalry in our league tonight. unfortunately we lost, but the whole game my team played great, shots werent falling, but we played very good defense, and the final score was 9-16. just wanted to say the Pistons are a great team, and J.B. is a fantastic head coach. the players move the ball very well. anywho, GO PISTONS!❤

2. JB done yelled his voice away.

3. Go pistons! This was a good basketball game. We will get them next time.

4. Less than 20% from 3 is really rough. Spurs has some incredible defence, especially with wemby's performance with 6 blocks

5. Less Caris More Ausar minutes JB

6. We needed this loss to stay humble and readjust.

7. What goes on in this dumbasses head when he decides to play levert over ausar

8. JB be soundin like Elmo

9. JB told them to drive straight into Wemby. This game is on him for being stupid

10. JB….come on JB. We all know you didn’t play Ausar in the 2nd half because you were upset with his performance. Ausar is incredible but tonight he was playing a little too timid.
    I still think Coach should’ve put him back in the game though.

11. Wednesday going to be very interesting because they gonna be hungry to Win and is the match up I been waiting to see My two teams going head to head 💪🏾

12. Castle was an anchor around his cades neck

13. Just wasn’t our night

14. 3 teams that are still a problem for the Pistons are: Spurs, OKC and Nuggets.

    Especially during playoffs. Let's see how far Pistons get this year. Next season chip time.

15. I'm not going to lie I think we should have kept Jalen ivy because he would have been hitting those extra threes for us

16. Belt

17. Nobody was shooting well so why not let Ausar AND Ron get minutes together. At least they would have been in there causing havoc on D. Somebody needed to slow Vessel down. But I'm with you coach. Still COY in my book.

18. this team can not hit threes if there life depended on it….

19. Damn, we could have used Ivey tonight!

20. Why don’t nobody ask why they don’t use other guys that can shoot or get someone that can shoot the ball that going to get in the game

21. Time for Jenkins to switch up his game a little bit, the league has figured out his tendencies and he isn’t surprising any teams anymore

22. Without aliens, u bring them back to earth. Slow down alien, u win the game.

23. Omg listening to this on audio got worried thought we traded JB for Doc Rivers for a sec ! 😮whewww

24. "No. I thought Ron was playing well. I gave Ron extra minutes." Breh needs to ask himself why people are asking that question. Maybe he's not seeing what we're seeing. The team is better when Ausar plays a lot of minutes. He is this team's X-Factor.

25. Duran was trash tonight and cade is always crying now. We need to stop trying to fight and just play ball.

26. Pistons 💩🗑💩🗑💩🗑💩🗑💩🗑💩🗑💩🗑💩🗑💩🗑💩

27. The Pistons struggle with teams in the West and who have 2 primary scorers and shooters. Also, teams that can make their 3 point shots. Also, teams that can match their physicality and are smart. Fox said before the game to play to their own identity and not get caught up into that style of play. We will see if they can clean it up by Wednesday if not another loss.

28. This coach seems a tad but delusional. Cade got clamped 🗜️ tonight, no impact offensively really 16 pts on 5/26 shooting thats called great defense by not only wemby but castle putting pressure on him making real real tough. Spurs are just better because Wemby will always be the most impactful on the court. Detroit doesn’t have a player like that, but just as good if not better role players.

29. The Pistons are the 8th best team in the NBA. Good progress.

30. Refs killed this game early, Cade and JD both with 2 fouls in the 1st quarter is wild, and then Cade not getting any calls all game long despite getting hacked almost every play, seems like the refs took his GQ interview personally and now they are trying to make a statement against him.

31. Spurs fan here. I'm glad my team won but y'all played a heck of a game. Y'all foul like crazy but it is what it is. Just want to say I will be going for y'all tomorrow to beat OKC so I'm going to need y'all to win and not be trying to fight everybody okay TY😂

32. This game was a real bummer. A game on peacock/nbc and now there’s a bunch of highlights all over social media of Cade and everyone pusing players to the ground along with Cades horrible stats. I think the team needs to stay humble and just let the games speak for themselves. Cade needs to study some SGA film or something and get in the gym with someone who can help him out. The efficiency is the only thing holding him back. 🙁

33. Dirty game Pistons ⬛️

34. Classic dirty play. Hope the organization doesn't tolerate such behavior.

35. Castle ⛹🏾‍♂️picking up full court and taking whoever is checking him 😂and they got a 7 plus in the paint ⛹🏾‍♂️they hitting 3s like crazy 🤦🏽‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️

36. Michigan lost to Duke 🤷🏿‍♂️now this both teams will learn

37. Can we do questions with answers he only has whisper?
    Give him time to heal 😩

38. When shit isn’t working out why don’t we switch to a rotation like we did when we played in Dallas? Throw random players in and see what happens. Sasser kicked ass and brought life to the team.

39. This game showed us how bad we need more outside shooting. If we get that, we’ll win it all. You just saw a preview of how teams will defend Cade in the playoffs.
