Jrue Holiday looking great this year. Much better than Simons.

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 14h

The cost will be high

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 16h

4 quarters with no turnovers for Cade is huge.

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 16h

Cade 3 ball not there like tail end of last season.

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 16h

There is no way Caris is healthy to play.

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 17h

Good on Ausar trying to shoot again.

Bad shot. But I think he got in his head last minute—“like oh shit, oh shit I have to make it”.

I will be shocked if we don’t see Levert and Duncan in trade rumors on 12/15.

Pistons going to combine their contracts and ship off somehow.

Hope it isn’t for MPJ.

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 17h

Pistons need a George Niang type.

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 17h

Yeah. Not very good move

I think he is still injured. He isn’t mobile at all.

Sean Corp @seancorp.bsky.social · 17h

Caris LeVert has been awful on defense tonight. Very late, seemingly very unaware

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 17h

He is used to playing in a system with better ball movement and next to other good shooters like Herro.

Don’t look at Tek-19 numbers for Heat. Unless if you want to be sad

I don’t know how the Pistons going to stop these Magic bigs at the basket without fouling them.

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 17h

Goga looks like prime Marc Gasol out there.

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 17h

Duncan fall off. It is like 1 out of 4 games is a decent shooting, otherwise, nothing.

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 17h

Ron Holland defensive intensity may cost him minutes. Minutes he needs to gain experience.

It is a tricky situation

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 18h

This isn’t the same team that went toe-to-toe with knicks in R1.

They seem to be burdened by living up to expectations than having fun.

It is more like “oh gee, I hope they don’t say we look not as good this year”.

It feels like a few more frustrating losses and we will see the sad puppy face.

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 23h

He has a ton of promise. Likely drafted higher than he should. But I am saddened by the outcome

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 1d

Last year, before injury, Maxey was killing it with even less help. Putting up major stats.

And in general, Maxey is a far better 3 level scorer than Cade. As is Lamelo.

Cade is talented, very skilled. But he has as much talent around him as any of healthy those teams.

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 1d

He has. I look at what Maxey (or Ball) does with injured teams and limited help—but Cade simply doesn’t score like he should. His turnovers are a problem.

But overall, he is not playing like a top 5 guard. Cade should be able to drop 40 points if it calls for it.

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 1d

I don’t want to sound of the alarms, but look at Cade and look at Maxey—it is a star driven league and Cade should be doing what Maxey is doing.

Pistons haven’t looked great so far this season.

Not by a long stretch. And everyone needs to be better. Cade needs to be better.

Maxey is back. Might reset the PG hierarchy in the NBA.

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 2d

Peacock did a good job (repeatedly) talk about the Pistons missing THJ and Malik….

This team offense is a bunch of scraps.

Why are the Pistons masochists for coming back from deficits.

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 2d

They are asking Tobias to play like Giannis or Julius Randle out there

It isn’t going to work.
