Yeah I'd way rather lose a close game late then get blown out in the third quarter and never have a chance. I'm not bothered at all by these, for one thing there is no "blown lead" or close games until the second half of the fourth quarter in the NBA. Most games you can only watch the last 5 minutes and nothing directly affects the outcome. I'm happy to see them playing much better overall than last year.
I've been impressed with their resiliency so far game to game. Even after tough losses that they've had they've bounced back with good efforts in the next game. Not like last year where they'd have a close loss where we think they were turning a corner and then they'd be non-competitive in the next three or four straight games. So let's see, they've got a couple winnable games coming up. If they fall flat then I think we can go doom and gloom again but if they don't then I think there's reason to be optimistic
Why aren’t you talking about the fact that Tobias Harris being our deciding factor? If he scores 15-25 we typically win (assuming Cade&Ivey do their thing). But Tobias continues to stink up the place and that’s why we’re losing fr
I was literally about to make the same remarks about Tobias & how Ku is totally ignoring his consistent lack of production. And yes, a lot of us was totally against signing him....smh.
Can we also keep things in perspective. We’re acting like we gonna win every game. This is the NBA, this is how it goes. This is actually a much better game than last game. We had a lot of people out. Tough loss but overall a pretty good game
So many things against the pistons and yet we still should have won. Ivey Hardaway and Fontechio all out at once is crazy. Ron played a good game but the missed free throws are unacceptable. He won’t be closing games anytime soon when the rest come back. Duren can’t guard his lunch. Cade and Ivey need 1-2 other players who can make plays for others. I don’t blame Cade for how the box score looked tonight. Nobody in the nba should be asked to do that much
I will say Duren played a solid game defensively and he’s been improved on that end. Not anywhere near where needs to be yet but he’s definitely putting in effort on that end.
@@videki47 I agree that he’s giving effort after not trying at the start of the year. I do think Stewart needs to be starting and Duren needs reserve minutes at this point in his career
1st Listen....Imagine Cade inbounding that lob to Ausar Thompson and not Ron Holland. Shout out to the rook...he'll be ok. But Beef Stew is my issue. As one of the vets, a young vet but still a vet, you can't do that. Poor leadership. Better days are ahead. Stay up Ku.
Growing pains , Cade apple turnover Cunningham, now leads the ENTIRE league in TOs, and the timely turnover to sasser SUCKed! You can just feel when Cade gets pressured he going to turn it over, need to be better. Tough free throws for the kid, you can just feel all the pressure on the rookie, he going to learn from this. You got to love how Gianni’s just runs over people like it’s football and gets all the calls, running over Cade all out of control and still gets that call is ridiculous.
Cade needs to absolutely eliminate the lazy pass turnovers. He also would do well to stop driving into the middle with 4 guys waiting for him. Tobias is still fitting in with this team. He will be fine, I hope. I place most of the blame on Stew.
This loss sucks but I see a massive difference in this team! They are competing in each game. Pistons need to learn “perspective”. This team went through a full season with a pointless coach. JB is steering us in the right direction
Stewart has to be better. Even if he was trying to get Giannis to lose his cool and draw a technical, you can't pull a guy to the ground like that. I would not be shocked if the NBA suspends Stewart for a game. All of that said, Stewart should have been our starting PF. With an injury depleted roster, Reed should have been the backup center and Stew starting at PF.
Duran needs to start getting dirty. He doesn’t hit the floor for loose balls and is playing defense on switches with his hands and not feet. That’s where he must improve. The one thing I am surprised at is the defensive effort THJ and Beasley have been giving. Not saying they are playing great defense but they are give the effort.
@@LockedOnPistonsIsaiah Stewart will cause you guys a problem. This dude is a problem. Remember he had history now. Giannis could've broken his arm or his back. I hope he does it in the playoffs. Oh I pray he does it in the playoffs🤣🤣.
@@LockedOnPistonsyou are talking about Giannis' 17 free throws? The refs gave the game to the Sorry Pistons and that rookie loss the game bricking both free throws. Giannis didn't foul him and you knew that. Will you admit that Giannis foul? NO.
I think duren deserves some blame here. At some point he has to be able to defend. He left brook open multiple times and was giving Giannis free throws
@@scottwickett1273idk if id go that far i was missing him when paul reed was getting extended minutes 😂 but he has not been a starting caliber center. Stew has but nothing we could do about that tonight
Blaming the refs here is the weakest kind of excuse. Watch how Giannis goes to the rim. He is huge, moving fast, and goes all the way to the rim. Our players drive, not always fast, and finishing about three feet from the rim. Much smaller, slower, and finishing further from the rim than Giannis. Lopez got at least 3 clean blocks from the weak side because the finish was completely telegraphed.
I watch to be entertained because, as a Pistons fan, I promised myself never to bet on them. They're the one time I just sit back and watch. Life is better with no expectations. Bucks were - 7.5, so why complain? Injuries play a part. There is no such thing as they "should have won." 1:52 and I'm out.
Cade is a great player ! He is not a starting caliber PG. BAD Turnovers in the final minute. Cade going 1v1 6 plays in a row/ not even trying to get teammates a shot.
Sloooooow down Ku. Love your passion and all your points are very valid and spot on. However, it is called maturity and experience and takes it. This is still a very, very young team at its core. But, the Detroit Pistons are growing and definitely heading in the right direction. They are ahead of schedule. Relax. The key thing now is to trade up and upgrade on their veterans and bring in a "champion". That is what is missing.
i dont like how every loss keeps going down as the worst loss of the year, we can't call ourselves decent if our losses get worse and worse, and our wins keep being decided by 1 or 2 points. We are so much better than last year but it is so unacceptable we keep blowing such large leads.
We missed THJ, and Jaden Ivey tonight plus Beef Stew was ejected I'm not worried about this game at all we'll be alright we just need to get back healthy. The ref's giving Giannis 17 ft attempts was hilarious too.
@@kingloon-m4m who said he was going to shut him down completely? The refs definitely played a role but I'm speaking on all 11 games that Tobias has played. For the role he's being paid to play, he's not giving us anything. He's not even hitting open 3s. So why not give his minutes to Ausar? Hell, look at his body language. He looks like he doesn't care. If Tobias gives you a good 15-18 pts & show some leadership for the 50m he's being paid, we'd have 3-4 more wins. That was a bad signing & his contract is going to age fast
So if you just gotta give Giannis his props because his shot was on, how was it a horrible loss? Also, the fact that we could have won almost every game we’ve played is called progress. Can’t change the goalpost now, it’s clear we are much improved since last year.
Cade gets no calls. But shooting 34 shots is crazy. The turnovers are crazy at this point. They say he had back spasms, so I give him credit for playing.
@ I disagree about Sasser. He’s not a point guard. He can hoop. They use him wrong. Plus he’s not gonna play over the vets. Has nothing to do with his skills. He can put the ball in the basket. Pistons are way better than last year. Not complaining much lol
@@doiteffortless8396 He's the fifth-best SG on a team that won 14 games last year, he's tiny, and he's too old to expect any further development. He is a symbol of Troy Weaver being the stupidest man who has ever survived to adult age in the history of our species, and nothing more.
Even with the loss I am happy, as we are significantly better than last year. It is a long season. I can see us keep improving, gain confidence, and make the play in. I do not want another year in the lottery. If we do not start winning our guys will not gain confidence and Cade will leave.
The Pistons are the anti-Lakers when it comes to getting foul calls! Is good for Cade to challenge Giannis and Brook, BUT Cade challenged them too many times, in a predictable manner. Why not pass it out sometimes, instead of leaping into 4 guys!
Man!!! Starting to seem like every time I come on here now it’s all negative… we do need to at least pay attention to the fact that we’re getting better … even when we win it’s never good job Pistons … just mostly what we did wrong 🤦🏾♂️
I think we gotta keep things in perspective. People freaking out over every one of these close games is crazy. This is the nba. That’s how it works. We can’t reasonably expect us to win more than 35ish games. We are steadily processing. Yes it sucks to lose but y’all are getting too crazy. We’re on track for playoffs yall. wtf are y’all on thinking we “should” be winning more. No we shouldn’t. We are already exceeding expectations
We can win every close game na lol 😅 just hope these type of games help them in the future cause by tyme play in season we'll know our plays & won't be rattled ect.
It was Giannis.. don't feel bad. I'm starting to like your team, Detroit. And i tell you more... From now on, i'm going to follow the Pistons more closely and root for them, and i'm not even an american, and i don't even live in the American Continent..
@@terrancewoods3463 Yes, my point is you never know: you can't count on a second-round rookie who has never played, because by definition he might not be good enough to belong in the league at all. Also I absolutely did not think Tobi was going to give them more than what he is currently: it was a disastrously stupid move to wildly overpay him like they did, and I said so immediately.
Do you all realize that this is Stew's 5th season & Cade's 4th? Its time to expect more from them, especially Cade after that 200m extension. His turnovers are concerning. This is the 3rd gut wrenching loss in a week due to Low IQs by this team, which comes from yrs of losing. Yes, Cade made big baskets in the 4th quarter but they mostly came from those back breaking turnovers. Go get a real point guard & move Cade to the wing. Teams are now being physical & gaurding him 94 ft because they know he will cough up the ball. And yes, Stew is main culprit for this loss. Tragen should be listening to offers for everyone on this roster.
It is still a very bad roster because of Weaver's disastrous tenure, and Langdon appears to be deliberately tanking. Cade is a point guard, and he's right on schedule. You don't know what you're talking about on that one.
Beef Stew & Cade with the turnovers tho that’s it & Tobias gotta do better those dang blown leads is crazy! They are beating themselves up bro lol they better turn it around while the season still early now and beat 2-10 Toronto Raptors next game! Pistons always get robbed when we play them Bucks when it comes to free throws! WIN OR LOSE DEEETROIT BASKETBALL!!!!!!
DUDE STOP BEING SO EMOTIONAL ABOUT THE PISTONS!! IT'S GONNA TAKE YEARS OFF OF YOU!! PLUS THIS THE SAME TEAM ALMOST THAT LOST ALL OF THOSE GAMES LAST YEAR THAT ALMOST BROKE THE RECORD FOR LOSING!! THIS TEAM IS NOT A QUICK FIX!! LUCKY FOR THEM THE EASTIS TRAGIC RIGHT NOW SO THEY BENEFIT FROM THAT!! THAT BEING SAID YOUR HIGHLIGHT IS STILL MONTY ENJOYING HIS VACATION STRESS AND PISTONS FREE COURTESY OF THE PISTONS!!
Tobi stinks and it was a disastrously stupid hire because of the opportunity cost of not using that cap space to collect assets; we tried to warn y'all.
This team is just not good. They added shooting but they’re clearly just not talented enough. But when I say this team could greatly benefit from adding a wing like Cooper Flagg or Ace Bailey, people tell me I’m wrong.
WE aren't going to win the top pick in the draft. Intentionally losing 70 games isn't going to give us better than a 15% chance at Flagg. On the other hand actually winning games will have a major impact on the development of the team. When people say "don't tank" or "go for the playoffs" they aren't saying that Flagg and Bailey are overrated.
@ They don’t have to intentionally lose. The losses will come naturally lol. This team is not good. I’m not saying they have to be last in the conference. I know how the lottery works. The 10-12th seed should give a decent chance at a top 3 pick. Hawks got the 1st pick last season as a play in team. Even if this team made the playoffs, it would be a complete fluke because of how bad the East has been this season. This team isn’t actually good and it needs more talent.
@obi3924 the team is bad but very few people think that both those guys will be busts. Making the playoffs with 33 wins would be even more shocking than the Pistons actually winning over 30 games. But the Pistons are going to need to find a way to compete without landing a top three pick next summer. If the Pistons tank until they land another too pick Cade will likely leave before that pick plays a game.
@@obi3924 Folks may disagree, but I think the coaching and the rotations are somewhat problematic. Not saying JB is a bad coach and all because he's a pretty coach, it's just that his coaching schemes are not helping Cade be more efficient in his game and lowering his turnover rates, Duren is still an offense and defense liability most of the time other than being a lob threat, but Ivey is progressing well with his game, so I think it's okay for him. I can tell that it's going to be a while before this Pistons team actually becomes a good playoff team or even a championship contender team. If Stew never did that idiotic stunt like he did tonight, the Pistons would've probably won that game.
Ku, that's not a big free throw discrepancy. You make it sound like Giannis shot 10 or 15 more free throws than the Pistons. It was only a 4 free throw difference. Also he was dominating the game so obviously he deserve those calls anyway. I don't see what the anger is about on that one. I still got love for you my man but I think you overreacting on that one.😎🏀
Cade shoots too much. He has to have more confidence in his teammates. And the turnovers were pressure times in the game. Cade waits too long to make a decision, dribble dribble dribble turnover Cade.
Keep telling yall Cade not him he can’t lead or make his team mates better .. he can’t elevate his team .. Duren is trash and so is Tobias I said we should have never singed him back he was trash when he played here with Reggie and Drummond ..
I swear to God every game has to be an epic drama effort. Beef Stew has mental issues as weve seen before. I knew holland was missing those free throws the moment i saw his face when he stepped up to the strip 😅 he was petrified
This years anxiety is better than last year’s hopelessness.
Yeah I'd way rather lose a close game late then get blown out in the third quarter and never have a chance.

Yes. A thousand times, yes.
Last year was literally unbearable, as not only did they stink but they were so uninispired.
This was so fun
Perfectly stated
Ron Holland gonna be on a podcast in 25 years talking about this was his “welcome to the league” moment
🤣😂🤣😂Big Rook mistake all he had to do was make one bucket lol game won easily lol
😂
Ron's misses were a factor, BUT what about Beef Stew's ejection? A lot of blame is correct! Too many turn-overs.
If Giannis makes all his FT’s, 3s and jumpers, you aren’t winning. Lopez was on fire. Give Bucks credit. They won it more than we lost it.

Do you all realize that this is Stew's 5th season & Cade's 4th? Its time to expect more from them, especially Cade after that 200m extension. His turnovers are concerning.
This is the 3rd gut wrenching loss in a week due to Low IQs by this team, which comes from yrs of losing. Yes, Cade made big baskets in the 4th quarter but they mostly came from those back breaking turnovers.
Go get a real point guard & move Cade to the wing.
Teams are now being physical & gaurding him 94 ft because they know he will cough up the ball.
And yes, Stew is main culprit for this loss.
Tragen should be listening to offers for everyone on this roster.
It is still a very bad roster because of Weaver's disastrous tenure, and Langdon appears to be deliberately tanking.
Cade is a point guard, and he's right on schedule. You don't know what you're talking about on that one.
Games are won and lost at the free throw line!
As I said in the last vid that win against Miami was luck. In every 4th quarter they fold every single time
Thj been way better than Beasley
Cade back spasms??? Did they mention that?
Beef Stew & Cade with the turnovers tho that’s it & Tobias gotta do better those dang blown leads is crazy! They are beating themselves up bro lol they better turn it around while the season still early now and beat 2-10 Toronto Raptors next game! Pistons always get robbed when we play them Bucks when it comes to free throws! WIN OR LOSE DEEETROIT BASKETBALL!!!!!!
Isaiah Draymond lol, game turned over after that stupid fragrant foul.
Also Duren 5 turnovers???????/ REALLY!!!!!! CARELESS TURNOVERS KILL!!!
He's trash, yes.
Duren turnovers were ugly
He’s not a starting center
Hard to take Stew seriously when he continues to do dumb stuff like this
Dirty ass play by stewert ..
Pistons are about to reel off 6 straight
The time is NOW...couldn't agree more...these next 6 will DICTATE how the season will go!! Hopefully positive!
@@thugwayjoepog8163 isn’t Orlando game 5. Don’t see us winning that one
@cordelldemattei5446 if THJ and Simone play... hoping Ausar is ready by then too. We got em
@@thugwayjoepog8163 I hope you are right, but I don’t see it.
@ I didn’t realize Banchero is out for a while. That definitely puts that game in play
Sasser did well
DUDE STOP BEING SO EMOTIONAL ABOUT THE PISTONS!! IT'S GONNA TAKE YEARS OFF OF YOU!! PLUS THIS THE SAME TEAM ALMOST THAT LOST ALL OF THOSE GAMES LAST YEAR THAT ALMOST BROKE THE RECORD FOR LOSING!! THIS TEAM IS NOT A QUICK FIX!! LUCKY FOR THEM THE EASTIS TRAGIC RIGHT NOW SO THEY BENEFIT FROM THAT!! THAT BEING SAID YOUR HIGHLIGHT IS STILL MONTY ENJOYING HIS VACATION STRESS AND PISTONS FREE COURTESY OF THE PISTONS!!
Everything begins and ends with CADE! He just may set an NBA TURNOVER record!
Go look at the turnover numbers for guys like Ja and Luka and Magic fucking Johnson and get back to me; Cade is fine, and right on schedule.
6 more turnovers....CADE!!!!! Can't win until you VALUE the Ball!!! Tobias needs to be alot better and more consistent!!
Tobi stinks and it was a disastrously stupid hire because of the opportunity cost of not using that cap space to collect assets; we tried to warn y'all.
This team is just not good. They added shooting but they’re clearly just not talented enough. But when I say this team could greatly benefit from adding a wing like Cooper Flagg or Ace Bailey, people tell me I’m wrong.
WE aren't going to win the top pick in the draft. Intentionally losing 70 games isn't going to give us better than a 15% chance at Flagg. On the other hand actually winning games will have a major impact on the development of the team. When people say "don't tank" or "go for the playoffs" they aren't saying that Flagg and Bailey are overrated.
@ They don’t have to intentionally lose. The losses will come naturally lol. This team is not good. I’m not saying they have to be last in the conference. I know how the lottery works. The 10-12th seed should give a decent chance at a top 3 pick. Hawks got the 1st pick last season as a play in team. Even if this team made the playoffs, it would be a complete fluke because of how bad the East has been this season. This team isn’t actually good and it needs more talent.
@obi3924 the team is bad but very few people think that both those guys will be busts.
Making the playoffs with 33 wins would be even more shocking than the Pistons actually winning over 30 games. But the Pistons are going to need to find a way to compete without landing a top three pick next summer. If the Pistons tank until they land another too pick Cade will likely leave before that pick plays a game.
@@obi3924 Folks may disagree, but I think the coaching and the rotations are somewhat problematic. Not saying JB is a bad coach and all because he's a pretty coach, it's just that his coaching schemes are not helping Cade be more efficient in his game and lowering his turnover rates, Duren is still an offense and defense liability most of the time other than being a lob threat, but Ivey is progressing well with his game, so I think it's okay for him. I can tell that it's going to be a while before this Pistons team actually becomes a good playoff team or even a championship contender team.
If Stew never did that idiotic stunt like he did tonight, the Pistons would've probably won that game.
@@obi3924 Who exactly told you you're wrong that they would benefit from adding Flagg, Lol.
Any team would benefit from adding Flagg.
Tobias Tobias Tobias
Millionaires in shorts continually screwing up on the job. Maddening.
This team is really good. They need to grow obviously. Win Friday and this loss counts as growth.

Sasser need more minutes we need fultz Paul Reed need more minutes love jb but he put out questionable closing line ups All the time
No, Sasser does not need more minutes Lol.
The turnover, no show up 4th quarter Cade. Years spent to build around this guy and yet everyone else is at fault.
Most of his teammates are really bad, yes.
Cades handles are elementary. He always gets ripped
34 shots is not ideal, unless you are scorching hot.
Some of his best teammates didn't play, that's the explanation here.
Ku, that's not a big free throw discrepancy. You make it sound like Giannis shot 10 or 15 more free throws than the Pistons. It was only a 4 free throw difference. Also he was dominating the game so obviously he deserve those calls anyway. I don't see what the anger is about on that one. I still got love for you my man but I think you overreacting on that one.😎🏀
Cade shoots too much. He has to have more confidence in his teammates. And the turnovers were pressure times in the game. Cade waits too long to make a decision, dribble dribble dribble turnover Cade.
He had to take 34 shots tonight, there was no one else to take them and break the defense down
I don't think Cade can be our full time PG. He's just not a good enough decision maker.
I don't think you know what you're talking about, and am in fact convinced that you totally don't.
Keep telling yall Cade not him he can’t lead or make his team mates better .. he can’t elevate his team .. Duren is trash and so is Tobias I said we should have never singed him back he was trash when he played here with Reggie and Drummond ..
And you are still clearly wrong about Cade, and so stupid that I am amazed you can even read.
Bickerstaff is only as great as his assistant coaches. No fan should be happy with Luke Walton 🤬
I swear to God every game has to be an epic drama effort. Beef Stew has mental issues as weve seen before. I knew holland was missing those free throws the moment i saw his face when he stepped up to the strip 😅 he was petrified
6-7 would've been amazing
