Why does Jalen Duren look like more yoked Chris Bosh here?

Only seven teams in the NBA have at least nine games shooting 25% or less from three. Detroit has a 9-6 record in such games. The rest of the NBA is 50-136

Detroit's 115-101 win over the Golden State Warriors was their NBA-leading ninth while shooting 25% or less from three. Only two other teams have at least six such games -- Thunder and Magic. 11 teams have zero such games.

Good news for the scoreboard watching Pistons fans who feel less secure with the No. 1 seed

If Sinners came out in the 90s there would be an SNES and Genesis game that would be made by totally different developers. The Genesis version youd play as Smoke and you’d have a gun and in the SNES version you play as Preacherboy and you fight vampires with your guitar

Sometimes basketball is simple. The Detroit Pistons got beaten on the boards by 14. By far their biggest net differential this season. Only the third time all season they've been bested by 10+ boards. They lost the game.

Only Caris can drive me crazy in a blowout

I almost feel bad because he is being mauled on every possession. But also, he is very easily scoring inside because he has 60 pounds on every defender.

All this ugly basketball will be worth it if it advances the agenda of Huerter supplanting LeVert in the rotation.

Caris Jenkins minutes are designed to psychologically harm me personally.

Third foul on a 3-point shot in 13 minutes? Detroit needs to wake up and lock in.

Captain Ron

8 3-point possessions by the Grizzlies in the first quarter. That's how you give up 35 points to a bad team.

Philly native Jalen Duren

37 free throws for a player is insane.

I'm not sure the Pistons know you can guard corner 3s

That is a silly flopping foul on Holland. They are just trying to keep the peace in Brooklyn, but cooking the books to do so

I would start Stew and Duren in the third. Put Harris at SF and play Paul Reed. Get big and rediscover your defensive identity. I don't care about fake ball handlers.

Pistons are getting beat at their own game. Out hustled, out muscled, out executed

Terrible shot choice

They deserve this

Extremely unserious basketball

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

I'm too sick to watch the Pistons get smoked by the Spurs again. Good night. May my absence lead to Detroit's luck turning.

Going live with @blakesilverman.bsky.social on the @detroitbadboys.bsky.social YouTube channel in the next few minutes. Come hang! www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ogz...

Pistons playing some disgustingly bad defense.

Cade's defensive instincts have been off all night. Cursed game.

Buddy Boeheim revenge game.

If you told me before the game Vassell and Champagnie were going to hit 12 threes I would say the Pistons would lose. And here we are.

Bickerstaff with another ill-advised challenge

Having 3-point shooters is good, actually

Love hearing LCA exploding like this

Give Cade the MVP trophy - tonight. My thoughts on his incredible performance tonight for @detroitbadboys.bsky.social www.detroitbadboys.com/detroit-pist...

Pistons good

I'm going to need more coffee before diving into any potential defense of Troy Weaver. Hovering over this link feels like stepping to the edge of the plane. I have a parachute and all I have to do is make one step forward .... and yet.

The first two games, the Stripes were playing like the first two-thirds of the movie Stripes. This game, they are playing like the last third of the movie Stripes.

It feels like this game was specifically designed to advance many @michaelvpina.bsky.social agendas.

I'm cackling

This is good basketball

Ding ding ding

Paul Reed is the 23rd Piston to score at least 16 points in a quarter without missing a field goal. Anyone wanna guess who has the No. 1 spot for most points as a Piston?

Welcome to 19 straight minutes, Paul Reed

Four ejections minimum

Rare that I am just looking forward to halftime for the Pistons, but I think a long break might be the only thing that can break Charlotte's rhythm and hot 3-point shooting

The more Langdon talks, the more Huerter sounds like a LeVert replacement and less like an Ivey replacement.

Might be several Pistons and Knicks missing the key matchup tonight. Not quite the playoff preview we were hoping for.

Officially concerning

Wizards hit three circus shots in a row and that'll about do it. Pistons didn't take the game seriously and this is the result you get.

Where is Duren?
