__get__name | Pistons

31 | 3 days ago

Yeah, stands for Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. Basically your body doesn’t know how to keep blood flowing properly against gravity, causing rapid heart rate just from standing or sitting up. Some people faint from it.

It’s one of my lesser debilitating issues, so hard to say how much of this was fully POTS, but as an example: I did a NASA lean test recently (lean against a wall and track heart rate and blood pressure for 10 minutes) and my heart rate went from 70 to 150ish and I only made it 4 minutes. Before this I wasn’t a pro athlete by any means, but I spent weekends cycling 50-100 miles

DetroitSportsPhan | Pistons

8 | 3 days ago

I used to get light headed standing up but it was from a different heart issue that I was thankfully able to have fixed. (Wolff Parkinson White syndrome) my heart rate would go as high as the 220s

__get__name | Pistons

7 | 3 days ago

Oof, that sounds rough. Glad you were able to get treatment! I’d hate to see what would happen if my heart rate got that high. The NASA test was the longest I’ve stood in a few years and just that much has had me bedbound for a few weeks now. But that’s not a POTS thing, that’s from the other fun ways my body has decided to fuck with me 😅

rjcarr | Supersonics

2 | 3 days ago

I think I have a mild case of this. I actually didn’t even know what it was until I heard about KP’s diagnosis and read about it.

My issue is when I really exert myself (say heavy weights or repeated hard sprints) I’ll start getting a funny taste in my mouth and then my vision will start whiting out. If I don’t lay flat on my back I’ll pass out.

As soon as I lay down I feel fine. But I have to lay there for like 5 full minutes. If I stand too early it comes right back with the whiteout vision and eventual dizziness and fainting.

Any of this sound familiar?

__get__name | Pistons

1 | 2 days ago

Hard to say. I mean, it sounds like what passing out feels like, so that’s familiar. The fact that it only happens with exertion makes me think it could be something else.

Probably worth talking to a doctor, though a lot of these Infection Associated Chronic Conditions (IACCs) like POTS don’t show up on typical blood tests and the like. The test for POTS is usually a tilt table test, but the NASA Lean Test can be done at home to give a rough idea. Just need a heart rate monitor and a blood pressure monitor

ETA: If exertion causes you to crash the next day or two after, that’s another thing and I can weigh in on that. But the immediacy of what you described is different

rjcarr | Supersonics

1 | 2 days ago

OK, thanks for the info. I just thought it was a spectrum disorder and although some people experience this just standing up and it takes exertion for me, it is still the same thing. I should read more.

I did talk to a doctor years ago, not knowing about POTS at the time, and I even had an echo procedure on my heart (not an EKG, although I probably had that too) and it came out fine.

Thanks for the info on the NASA test.

__get__name | Pistons

2 | 2 days ago

It very well could be POTS, I’m certainly no expert. It’s one of my lesser debilitating issues so I don’t pay a lot of attention to it. When you can barely walk anyway, doesn’t seem quite as important to worry too much about your heart rate when standing. I know a few people who only suffer from POTS, and they lead a semi-normal life, though they’re stuck on disability as result of it

Who knew relying on a guy that’s injury prone for most his career and coming off a season where his season was cut short by a mysterious illness would miss a lot of games. Never could have see that coming. He’s played over 60 games in a season one time since 2017

Same way Duren was bad early, JJ just has to improve. Too many bad habits from when he was young as well as not giving af more than half the time on that end.

But now he has risen to stardom I don’t know if he will even have the energy to improve.

If you want to go far and win, especially the PF MUST be close to an elite defender.

You just cannot survive with a weak defensive front court. Unless you are Jokic. I rather him become DPOY at the PF than him become just good offensively.

OKC: Chet

Boston: Tatum/Hoford

He has this habit of slathering his hands in butter before games and making the most inexplicable turnovers.

That and he’s out of position a lot. He’s good on defense but gets caught ball-watching a couple of times again.

He was better before his really bad fall so I’m sort of holding out hope that a lot of the team is playing through minor injuries right now because we’re missing so much of our big money players every night and somebody has to hold it down while they’re out.

Can Ausar hit 3s? Is he developing at all from the shooting standpoint? Haven’t been watching the pistons so I wouldn’t know

Rarely shoots them. Looks slightly better this year, I guess.

He’s been doing more damage from the mid range this year though.

He’s not shooting many of them, but he’s above 30% on the year so far. His form looks a lot better. I feel like we’ll start seeing noticeable improvement next year after he has another offseason to work on it

Wow. I’ve watched him a lot and had no idea that his 3p% was above 30%. I’m shocked.

That put’s his ceiling so much higher if he can get it a little higher and sustain it.

He’s gotta get the volume up too before it’ll really start helping him. He’s currently averaging 0.8 3s per game, which was his average attempts last year. If he could get up to 3 attempts per game and into the mid 30s that’d probably open up a lot. He’s my favorite Piston, so I’m bias, but I think he’ll get there. Dude’s a hard worker and has a good head on his shoulders

Honestly if he can get up to 33% on threes and shooting 3 per game by next year I’ll be thrilled with that level of progress

He’s made 5 three pointers this year.

No. He will take them rarely but the more alarming thing is he’ll get the ball and look for absolutely anything to do but shoot it. He really needs to work on initiating his own offense because there are games where teams sell out on stopping Cade and we need everyone else to step up.

This team feels so much like the 03 04 pistons. No sheed deadline style deal necessary though.

Do they? 03 04 pistons weren’t letting teams put up 80 on them let alone 115.

Doesn’t work like that man, the league’s pace has changed completely since then. 04 Pistons could NEVER score 142 points, let alone without anybody hogging the ball

The point is that there’s a similar culture around the team and they’re bringing back that physical overpowering basketball, not that they have the exact same stats or results

Thank you. We held teams under 70 almost 10 times that year. Not happening ever again unless a team goes 0 for 40 from deep in today’s game. Its the physicality, mental toughness and detroit plays great defense compared to most teams. Duren is getting better and he keeps improving you have a new sheed and ben with beef stew and JD. This teams young 03 04 was much older and experienced defensive wise.

I guess my point is that I don’t view this current team as having a huge emphasis on defense like they did 20 years ago.

Exzqairi | Pistons

Yeah I can understand that, but the soul of those Pistons teams was built around physicality and a mentality of dominating your opponent no matter who was in the game or what the score was

The heavy emphasis on defense was because that was how you won championships in that era of pacing and some of the stars on those rosters

The Bad Boy Pistons also carried that same mentality, but showed even more physical dominance because the era allowed it

The key to winning a championship is by transforming that mentality and adapting it into that era’s rules and pacing

Chemistry wise 100%, effort 100%, attitude 100%. Nobody is going to hold teams to 68 pts and under 70 multiple times ever again in this era.
