Cunningham was garbage last night. Team was -24 when he was on the floor. Shot below 27 percent for the game and was 0 of 5 from 3-pt range.

Thompson was also awful.


Morgan Wallen is a piece of garbage.

I haven't paid any attention to the Pistons yet this season. All I know is what I've read here. Eight-game losing streaks before the season is one-quarter complete is major buzzkill.

In fairness to Dwane Casey, maybe coaching isn't this team's problem. But regardless, Monty's results (so far) are not encouraging.

I NEVER watch NBA. Heard about an in-season tournament being advertised. What is it? Why? Do these games count in the standings? Sounds like a real dumb gimmick.

All of them count towards the 82 except the championship. There are designated nights that the games count towards the tournament championship in December. The Pistons lost the first one and they were grouped by previous win -loss record so we are playing 3 other of last years bad teams. Best record in those 4 games among the 4 teams (all play each other once) advances to the next round then there is a semi final and then a special championship game that doesn’t count towards overall record. The whole idea is to add excitement and to emulate what they do in soccer.

The refs should've counted the 3PT shot & foul would've cut the lead in the final minute of the UGH VS the Hawks. Pistons out of the tourney 0-2 with 2 more games to go.

Troy Weaver needs to be sent packing.

Indiana and Houston used their cap space to acquire accretive, meaningful assets last offseason. What did Weaver do? He acquired Joe "The Useless Corpse" Harris and Monte Morris.

The Pistons suck so much they cannot even beat Cleveland sans Donovan Mitchell!!!

Last night's final: 108 Cleveland to 100 Detroit.

Cunningham still cannot hit a 3-ball to save his life. His 3-pt percentage on the season is 29.6%. On the positive front, the Pistons were +5 with Cunningham on the floor last night.

Burks was awful his third game back, shooting under 30 pct. from the floor.

Also disappointing - Sasser's scoring production has dropped big time over the last several games.

The Pistons have 1,268 guards on the roster yet NONE of them can hit a 3-ball reliably. By the way, Killian Hayes despite playing 22 minutes scored four fucking points last night. That is after scoring 8 points and 7 points in 23 and 25 minutes of action in the prior two games, respectively. They need to unload his ass at or before the trade deadline. Send James Wiseman, a 7 footer who sucks on the glass as a defender and who has zero long-range game, with him.

I'd rather have Saddiq Bey on my team over Wiseman. Bey at least has a long-range game. He is shooting a respectable 38% from 3-pt range on the year.

The big bugaboo again last night was turnovers. :rolleyes We won the battle of the boards outrebounding the Cavs, but not scoring on the turnarounds. Outside shooting was generally abysmal.

A good way to combat turnovers is to take more long range shots. Unfortunately, the Pistons don't have that luxury thanks to our idiot of a GM.

Pistons are building and learning. They'll get there.

They have a record of 82-233 since 2019 and are on a 10-game losing streak.

Can you total the W-L up since the 2008-09 season? Has there even been ONE season over .500?

Van Gundy won 44 games one of his years here and then the Pistons got swept in the first round of the playoffs by Cleveland.

Starting with the 2008-2009 season, and not including this current season, they are 452-736. That's 38-62 every 100 games.
