Twas hell indeed

This is the NBA Adam Silver wants

NBA like “if you don’t like it just watch the highlights”.

Spoiler alert: nothing will be done

If the NFL is anything to go by.

The League will always defend the refs

Starting with Advija who has FIVE games already with 15+ FTs

Adam Silver *

Pistons got in the bonus a couple minutes into the 4th an Blazers had to intentionally foul multiple times at the end.

35 fouls on the Blazers, 29 fouls on the Pistons

My math says that’s a foul called an average of every 34 seconds. Good watchin’.

Felt like every call was to compensate the shit call on the other end. That wasn’t fun to watch no matter the result. 

Do you work for Reddit, Mr Buck Buck ?

What happened to the game I love

Genuinely thinking about investing my time in EuroLeague instead

He’d be so stoked to spend time with his idol Henry Kissinger

Win or lose, glad we can all agree that this game was absolute shit, lol

The late whistle in this game, big WTF

Yk at least Cade is getting calls now tho ngl

Blazers also had another one who was close, broadcasters even joked about hitting regulations

If he would cut out the threes or make any of them it would seem less bad but yeah lol

Tunnel vision

He’s so springy though. I remember during the draft process watching a bunch of his highlight stuff and hoping the Pistons would take him despite not having much to watch overall because of age

He needs to cut out those step back contested long twos early in the shot clock. Just terrible shots

His shots will likely come down when the team gets healthy. He is out there with multiple 2 way guys that really can’t generate their own offense.

Caleb Love the same way.

Aye and I barely noticed 😂 that’s how it always supposed to feel

Took over at the end!

His best game was that 0 turnover game ,where he also had 30 or something  And lowkey his record 31 shots missed game was fire too , that statline is so bizzare but that win was so important for the run

Damn that’s what Austin Reaves averages.

And the 2nd quarter everything was a foul on everyone! Both teams in the bonus with 8 minutes left (meaning a foul was called every 24 seconds of game time to start the quarter)

You guys won tho

I mean, they are…. but this game was not the showcase for that

Honestly bro like holy cow

Weaver didn’t mess up the important draft picks and there is credit to be had for getting Stew (granted he handcuffed our first for half a decade) and Duren where he did, but he had zero idea on how to build a basketball team. Trajan has been excellent at putting guys around Cade. Cade needs shooters to be able to play his best ball. Weaver only wanted to put reclamation project centers around him.

It’s Langdon. Weaver had 7 top 20 draft picks in Detroit: Killian Hayes (egregious miss), Isaiah Stewart (hit), Saddiq Bey (miss), Cade (hit), Jaden Ivey (probably a miss), Jalen Duren (hit), Ausar Thompson (hit). Even though we got hosed in the lottery several times, Weaver still had probably the best draft capital in the NBA during his 4-year tenure here with picks 7, 1, 5, and 5 again. Despite that, he only hit on half his top-20 picks, one of which was the clear 1OA. I’m not giving him any credit for picking Cade. Langdon on the other hand has only had a single top-20 pick–Ron Holland, who the book is still out on.

Looking at Weaver’s draft results, I can’t call him anything but average. However, he could not have been worse at filling out the roster. That’s clear from our horrible record under him. At this time, it’s still not clear whether Langdon is any good as a drafter, but it’s clear to see how great he is at bringing in undervalued free agents and turning them into contributors. Just before the 2024 season, none of Harris, Schroder, THJ, or Beasley were seen as positive contributors to a serious team. All of them turned their reputations around here. And when 3 of them left the team in free agency, Langdon pivoted and restocked the cabinet again with Robinson, Levert, and increased contributions from two of his 2024 acquisitions Paul Reed and Daniss Jenkins, all of whom have been major contributors to our start.

Cade was obviously a no brainer. Duren was a great trade and pick.

Stew was a good pick but a dumb trade considering we wasted a higher pick. Ausar was a good pick.

The rest of his team building was atrocious.

He drafted the guys. And surrounded them with garbage.

It did lmao

And the argument is he is really fouled. He is just very physical

Best efficiency on the team this game, he just drives a lot he doesnt flop too much if any

Iam a pistons fan but nah he was getting fouled fr ,sometimes it’s irritating to watch but he does drive alot  And refs were on some weird shit tonight 

Big fan of Cade, seems like a good leader on the floor. Super glad to see him succeed

They handed you almost 50 FTs and fouled out half the Blazers team and you still crying 🤣
