What’s crazy is that he was 1-13 from 2. He drove to the rim a ton but couldn’t get anything to go in there. However, he was pure from deep!

He’s lifted his season 3-PT % to .375.

7/7 from 3 and 1/14 from 2 is an unbelievable stat haha

Pistons are undefeated when Weaver makes a trade this season. 4-0 baby!

That’s an indictment on Weaver for not doing it right in the last off-season. At least, Weaver is fixing it to really evaluate the young core. They’re not awful, but it’s playable at least.

This underscore the need for the Pistons to find a stretch 5 to really open up the spacing for Jaden and Ausar plus it can treat Ausar as a big in terms of being a screener, cutter, etc.

The bulls did it! (nothing)

Pistons might be less competent but are they actually less fun to root for? It’s not THAT hard to sell yourself on a future right?

I like their chances to turn it around.

Super young teams being successful like the Thunder are outliers.

Can you call it incompetence when you don’t try

Besides Burk I like the changes the Pistons made. Boggie can score but he is also a turnover machine and plays no defense. Like the new guy from Utah and Shake Milton.

How’s Beef Stew doing?

You’d think teams would ask about him at the deadline, and playing between Ausar and Duren must be tough.

I know they just signed him but…

Maybe he becomes a big off the bench.

Stewart rolled an ankle a couple weeks ago. Should be back after the all star break.

Fontecchio is an actual NBA caliber 3

Ausar is fine at the 4 defensively

Stew isn’t really needed and he can’t really play with Duren and Thompson

“A swing to Eubanks’ face connected”

Just say Stewart punched him!

Eubanks pushed his face onto Beef’s hand!

Eubanks shouldn’t have been standing there when Stew was celebrating some good news with a fist pump
