The Pistons are awful. They aren't even bad with purpose right now. Lineups don't make sense. Positions players are being put in don't make sense. It's just a complete and total mess.

Sometimes teams are bad. It happens. And it's often with purpose. Spurs are also bad, but they are trying to figure out what they have. Pistons just seem to show up, do the same stuff, lose and repeat the process.

Being bad without purpose is just wasting a season.

Pistons are currently down 31 and about to lose their 15th in a row.

Promote KU to the NBA and relegate the Pistons to the Big 12.

As blazers fan I don't understand the Jeremi Grant trade. Just gave him to us eh?

[–] BitterJD@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Worst coach in the league. He only gets jobs because he is a "good man," but even that is strange. He's a good man, why? Because his wife died? The guy certainly treated DeAndre Ayton poorly.

In Troy we trust

[–] BobFenimore@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

What’s going on with Cade?

[–] RGPISGOOD@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Pistons are just trying to break all the wrong records.

[–] okokokok999999@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

They are shit

[–] RuthlessMercy@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I feel like they have a lot of young potential talent to tap into it's just not working

[–] WadeCountyClutch@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Anyone miss Greg Monroe, Josh smith, and Andre Drummond on the same team?

[–] sefe23@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Coach trying to get fired in the first year.

[–] AnthonysGreat@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I kinda like ivey and cade still. I love Thompson. I think they've got some young pieces to keep building on. They're complete ass right now but that's fine. Keep getting high draft picks and build your squad for 3-4 years from now.

[–] flipchinc@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Cade is overrated and not a cornerstone franchise type of player. Pistons are going to be bad for a while

[–] dizzymidget44@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Monty is trying to get fired. His contract is guaranteed. He turned the pistons down at first

[–] oberg14@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Pistons suck : harassment

Spurs suck: flirting

Playing Sochan at PG this long should be fine worthy

[–] TrotLaRoc@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Weaver is a terrible GM. His fascination with collecting mediocre big men(Bagley, Wiseman) is odd. Bagley is fine as a decent bench big but what was the point of getting Wiseman when you have your center of the future in Duren and you have Stewart as well.

The Saddiq Bey trade was short sighted and unnecessary....overall he wasnt a world beater but wings with size that can shoot 3s are a valuable commodity

Why is Hayes starting? He is legit maybe one of the 20 worst offensive players and his defense is not DPOY level to make up for that and he isnt some high level facilitator

Also Cade isnt a #1 Luka/Harden heliocentric guard. He cant shoot that well, his finishing sucks bc he has average athleticism and no explosion...his 1st step is solid but he has no get up so he gets blocked a lot. Turnover prone as hell.....also he was advertised as 6'8" when in reality he is 6'6" which makes a difference. He is a bigger Brogdon which is a damn good player but not a franchise cornerstone or a guy that can be your best player. As of now he would be a #3 on a contender. He needs to improve his 3pt shooting to get more efficient

And Monty might be a fraud. He was good in NOLA but yea he might have gotten the Pissy Crissy stimulus in PHX

[–] BillowingPillows@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

At least Aussie Thompson is looking like a legit building block with almost unlimited potential depending how he develops.

[–] Large_Mango@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

And Cade is good but not knock the ball out of park hood for a #1 pick

[–] Tradeintodatop5@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The really sad thing they have to look forward to is that even if they land the #1 pick this year's draft is absolutely abysmal.

[–] TheLucidDream@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The Pistons out tanked the Tank Commander.

[–] BodegaDaddy@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

i still enjoy watching this team they have a lot of young guys with so much potential but wow they are bad. do they need a vet ?

[–] chickenheadj@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I remember when they were 2-1

[–] BionicCrazyStraw@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

But they had a special practice yesterday for the Lakers game

[–] smalls_1804@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

You're talking about a team with 4 centers and like 3 point guards, this isn't surprising. They've just been grabbing whatever random hypothetical talent they can find (Wiseman, Bagley) and selling their cap space. I think they had pretensions of being as good as the Magic were last year considering Cade's talent and Bojan's vet presence/shooting, but I think the roster is just took fucked. They might just be content to tank another season tbh and hope Ausar and Ivey can use this as a development year

[–] dknightOGG@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Yea true fucking hate this team right now besides Ausar. Wasn't excited for the Monty hire as an also suns fan. At least I have them and the hawks cause it'd be fuck the nba right now

[–] Foreign_Tangelo@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Send Zach to the Pistons he can fit in.

[–] Mickeyjj27@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Why did they give the dude a huge coaching contract? Were the pistons a team full of untapped talent that they thought he’d unlock? Nba has a the one league where I think a coach can be more of a negative than positive.

[–] desirox@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

This is probably it for Monty as a head coach. Was a nice feel good story but he is not a good coach

[–] leoselassie@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Yet they cover spreads when specific nba refs run the game….

[–] NevinsSchmitt@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

This could literally be the worst team we’ve ever seen.

[–] __init__m8@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Sucks for the players on that team, especially Ivey. They aren't going to develop like they should.

[–] Bajecco@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Monte Williams is a fraud

[–] ParanoidKidAndroid@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

So happy for the Bagley family that they were able to escape that awful situation in Sacramento and go to a competent team where coach yogurt can’t hurt poor Marv.

[–] nathanielsnurpis@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I still can’t believe Bojan hasn’t been poached. He was cooking last year. Hasn’t seen the floor yet this season due to injury but I’ve always liked his game. Free Bojan!

[–] ddiop@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

After 3 games Alec Burks was leading the league in +/- at +56 this season and they were 2-1

[–] NJ_Citizen@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

They just take bums that were drafted high and hope they are good. I honestly think I could do better as a GM

[–] chickenripp@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

“Lineups don’t make sense” that’s the Monty Williams I know
