1. I love Paul Reed. Bball Paul is really a good player for this team, and should start when Stew is injured. I am not pro trading Duren, but kid needs to grow and starting him is clearly not helping.

2. Tobias really just forgot how to shoot 3s huh? 33% is unacceptable. He needs to get in there early with Beasley and THJ

3. You are trying to keep a straight face talking about ED🤣🤣🤣🤣

4. JB Bickerstaffs therapy is taking all his stress and anger out on the refs on a nightly basis 😂

5. Collin Sexton and JohnCollins combined for 16 turnovers….and we still lost…We lost to the TANKING JAZZ!!!!!!!!!!! We have NO HOMECOURT…..feel very bad for the fans!!! Why the hell does THJ start JB?????

6. ku is the best man. look forward to every episode

7. JB has no clue as well!!!!!! Starting THJ……….not using P.Reed throughout the year!!! Not playing/developing Holland????

8. This may be a good time to move on from Tobias…He just has been VERY DISAPPOINTING!!!!

9. Beasley shot terrible until the end. He was like 5 for 17 I think at one point. He didn't shoot good. Snd he doesn't play defense. I love beas. But don't give credit where it's not due

10. At least we will get a chance to see if our GM has a pulse and if he has a clue!!!

11. I'm not tripping. This happens in the NBA. The Warriors lost by 51 we lost by 7.

12. This is the game that reminds the pistons to get Lauri or John collins this or in the offseason

13. what do u think of John Collins/Rob Williams/Okongwu/Queta

14. Hey KU……..JB rides the refs all game long every game!!!!!!!!!! That's 1 of the MANY reasons the Cavs got rid of him!!!! He has no clue…Starts THJ…doesn't play P.Reed the entire year!!!

15. JB had his team ready from the jump!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!

16. Hey Ku…the SUNS stink…the Magic are without their top 3 players…the Kings have been disappointing…the Lakers/DRAMA queens!!!! Outside of Denver..and they just lost to the Trailblazers!!!
    That is not a daunting schedule!!!!!!! Those teams are not the cream of the crop!!!! C'mon…!!

17. Hard to believe but…with the NETS selling, the Raps and Hornets SUCKING…It really is coming down to the Pistons or Bulls as far as that last play-in team..Hey GM Langdon…are we about competing with the BULLS who really want to trade VUC and Lavine…? Time to at least show the fan base that you have a PULSE!!!!!!!!!!!

18. Embarrassing first quarter.

19. Paul Reed played very well last year for Philly when Embid was out …FACT!!! Someone should have told JB!!!!

20. Have you looked into the net rating of this 5-man lineup? Duren – Tobi – Beasley – Ivey – Cade? It has a +26 net rating, as seen in the official nba website. Could it be that Duren is being brought down by THJ, since they are probably playing a lot of minutes together? if you took out Beasley and swapped him for THJ, the net rating is a -4.0. Do you guys have any other reference?

21. TRADE DUREN!!!!

22. Starting lineup if healthy. Then rotate as coaching is needed
    1. Cade
    2. Beasly
    3. THJ – Really don't want him starting but who else for spacing
    4. Thompson
    5. Duren (if he wants to play)

23. Ku talking about ED makes me want to never leave the corporate world. Shameless JK KU. ED is normal.

24. Can we flip Duren for Kessler 😂

25. Beasley needs to be starting & THJ needs to come off the bench.

26. The refs were bad, but the out of bounds play was straight forward. It bounced off of Cade’s toe and hit the ref’s leg. The leg it hit was in bounds, but their other foot was out of bounds making it out with Cade last touching it. What happened after that does not matter.

27. Duren Tobias sasser for Ingram Ron Holland Simone 2 second for Jonathan Issac 2 second for mo baba

28. On the defense, I’m not sure it would have mattered this game because the Jazz just couldn’t miss in the first quarter. They were going to hit no matter what. They came back down to earth and the game got close.

    No one should have ever expected any D from THJ. He played D over his head earlier in the season and now we are expecting to see it. He should not be a starter because of his D.

    Tobias will not be the same player he was with Embiid’s gravity pulling bigs away until we get a real big threat, Duren isn’t it so far.

    Duren needs to go to the bench. He hasn’t developed and there has been no consequence as he has kept his starting job. His biggest problem is between his ears, not his physical abilities. Maybe going to the bench will get through his thick head and make him realize he has to come in motivated and work on his weaknesses. If there are no consequences there will be no change. Maybe they should also start talking contracts to add motivation. And while we do love Holland so far, imagine having Clingan as an anchor in the middle of the D.

29. Holland and Thompson are both great on D and are going to be core pieces of this team. I think it isn’t even as far out as you think. They need to join Beasley and THJ in the breakfast shooting club and work with Vinson and I think we see returns as soon as the end of this season or next year.

    Holland needs to work on his temper. This is the second time in this short season I’ve seen him ready to throw down. We don’t want him missing games with suspensions or getting a bad rep.

    The idea of playing Cade, Ivey/Beasley, Ausar, Holland, and Stewart together is intriguing. I think the D could be smothering. The offense would have to change to a lot of motion and off ball screens to create lanes to the hoop and not rely as much on jump shooting, but it could work and would be something I’d like to see them try with Ausar and Ronald anyhow.

30. And yall want us to get respect? We got to dominate these games. We need a Center and a PF.

31. lol Ku laughing at the ED ad got me cracking up

32. While I am on the train of duren needs to improve defensively, I do think he has shown flashes and this game wasn’t really on him. They honestly just went crazy from the perimeter making crazy shots, they were shooting 80% from 3 in the 1st quarter. Duren also needed rebounding help with the jazz having 3 7 footer rebounding.

33. 19 threes is crazy

34. Josh smith twos😂

35. I wonder if it’s the players or the combination

36. Cade Ron Ausar Stetch 4 and Lob threat. that’s the vision

37. Houston Rockets

    Alpen Sengun
    
    Jabari Smith Jr
    
    Steven Adams

    Orlando

    Paolo Banchero
    
    Goga Bitadze
    
    Moritz Wagner
    
    Wendell Carter

    We need Big men. Who can score and rebound. Duren and Stewart should come off the bench.

38. The Pistons can't put together two games of defense in a row. Its sad.

39. Tobias is just there to collect his paycheck, not to play defense or offense

40. Duren is a total bum. That’s just what it is.
