Don't look now, but Deeetroit Basketball

might actually be back. The Pistons looked like the far superior team in their win on the road versus the Nets. They are 5-0 in 2025. They are above .500 at 19-18. JB has them playing real defense. They have not missed Ivey. Cade has taken a big step forward, and while he’s not the most efficient player, he’ll get you a bucket when you need it. Beasley is one of the top three point shooters. These guys might actually be … good.

I’ve been watching them and have been pretty excited. They definitely have some pieces now and you’re right, BB has them playing so much better than Monty. Night and day difference. I think losing Ivey will hurt us in a long term but so far so good. Much easier to watch this team this year for sure. I love playoff basketball. Hopefully they can get back to the postseason. While Sasser isn’t Ivey, he does bring energy and a decent shooting touch off the bench.

Almost unfathomable that we haven’t won a playoff game in 16 years. That level of ineptness takes careful planning.

What an utter waste of a year. Criminal that we still have to pay this guy.

Beef stew off the bench - second leading shot blocker in the league.
Holland plays some really tough D, he looks like a player.
You’re right, I like Sasser, also a pesky defensive player.
The only mild disappointment has been Ausar, but his defense is still VG.
It seems that we finally have some toughness on the floor.
