The DeMar “please literally anyone trade for me” DeRozan game.

SoapOperaHero | Pistons

I’d love to see DeMar get another shot at competing in the playoffs, but who can even take him?

PM_me_datSmile | Kings

His Contract is only partially guaranteed next season so I def think someone will come looking for him for that alone. But he def still has a lot of value for the right team.

BackgroundShower4063

I agree. But he’s likely stuck on this team for the rest of the season. All this team can think about is the draft.

km912 | SAC

12 | 6 hours ago

If he was willing to be a 6th man he could be useful. I just don’t know what contending team wants to give up 24 million for an aging 6th man. Maybe Dallas? He could help give them a better offensive floor from night to night and that team has the defense to be able to cover for him. Still hard to make the money work.

Ausar was looking like a functional player from the line tonight.

We sure like to relax in the 4th when we have large leads…

Crafty_Substance_954 | Pistons

They looked very tired in the 4th, which makes sense.

They musta been partying for Cade’s HS jersey retirement. Been rubbing the crust out of their eyes since

This is the 2nd night of a B2B on a west coast road trip, where the prior game was a 2 hour flight at probably 3AM EST.

Everyone does this against us. Even us.

GunsmokeIV | Kings

Fuck Marc Davis. We didn’t lose because of the refs or anything, but Fuck Marc Davis. Trash ass ref. So much shit was uncalled and called, shouldn’t have been a flopping tech and Cardwell should’ve been called for hanging on the rim way before his 5th shot at it.

Keegan may be out due to calf soreness, so teams should be dropping 140 on us on the regular again.

Nique showing towards the end was very nice. DeRozan solid as always, defence makes me sad but its elder abuse at this point. Westbrook taking 20+ shots again which is part of the experience I guess.

The tank is refulled and will press onwards.

Fuck Marc Davis.

xUNIFIx | Pistons

Nique looked really good.

midnightsbane04 | Pistons

That flopping tech really confused the absolute hell out of me. Had the game on mute and looked away to suddenly see a Tech FT while I’m sitting here watching the replay thinking “how tf”.

GunsmokeIV | Kings

It was a solid screen too. Keon got hit by a flopping tech earlier this season, after he got wiped out by a screen.

I swear the ref only called it that way because JB was in the middle of bitching at him all the way down the court.

That 4th quarter was a hard watch. Hope they get some rest and finish this road trip strong.

Lakers and Clippers are going to shoot 100 free throws against us and JB is going to lose his mind.

nugentismycenter | Pistons

14 | 6 hours ago

We scored 115 points through 3 quarters (most since 1987), up by 21 with 10 minutes left and played awful down the stretch. Cade is great but he was sloppy this game and needs to clean it up. A win is a win though.

rusty512 | Pistons

12 | 6 hours ago

Good to keep stacking the wins but I can’t say I’m feeling very confident that the Pistons will go well against some of the better teams in the league. Maybe they’re just playing down to their competition or something but there are a lot of reoccurring issues that don’t seem to be getting any better.

d11dd11d | Pistons

The only way I get through these while worrying about their performance against better teams is that they’re playing down to their competition. Have faith my brother

It’s not like these are close games throughout. We go up big and then get complacent. It’s a sign of a young team and it’s something that can be cleaned up.

ProfessionalBall9621 | Pistons

We need to make trades, we can’t be attached to our players like the Lions were/are. I’m honestly nervous about how much we pay Duren, really wish we’d go for MPJ, or an equivalent shooter.

We signed Caris for 10x the money and he’s not half as good as 37 year old Westbrook

DeRozan has a godlike whistle.

Also, Cade was EXTREMELY sloppy today.

Also, also: Pistons went ice cold in the fourth quarter two games in a row. 😮‍💨

Derozan hasn’t really had that whistle since joining the kings lol . You just got the random vintage performance

jfkgoblue | Pistons

I’m halfway convinced the refs specifically target the Pistons because JB is constantly complaining about them both during and after games

Its_Hoggish_Greedly | Kings

I just think they’re mostly incapable of calling a good game. I can’t remember the last game Ive watched without at least a couple awful ref calls.

GunsmokeIV | Kings

9 | 6 hours ago

DeRozan has been our best foul merchant in fucking forever, but do you know his FT rate with us, is the second lowest in his career (His rookie year is worse).

It is a bit amusing seeing Dennis and Westbrook go through the emotions of how shit our whistle generally is.

This team has lost 4 games since October 29th. They’ve lost those games by a total of 12 combined points. If they were just ever-so-slightly better at shooting 3s and free throws, they could be on a 26 game winning streak right now. 22 of 26 ain’t bad though.
