Joel and AD are the bright spot of this franchise

I’m going down to New Orleans to attend a comedy festival in a couple of months and I’m thinking about ditching the opening show early to make it to a Pelicans game. It would be against the Clippers so probably cheap tickets. Is it a fun arena?

Used to listen to Meyers on Lakers radio broadcast (over the internet) 2 decades ago when I was working nights in Detroit. Made listening to Laker games tolerable because he wasn’t just slobbering all over the home team. Covers the games with a lot of respect for both teams.

Used to love listening to Joel and Antonio on NBA radio when I was getting back into the NBA like a decade ago. Didnt realize until a few year later that they were the pels announcers. What a treat

Pelicans and Heat are Top 2 local announcing teams for me. Perfect case of how to be homers while doing unbiased commentary

Barnyard_Rich | Pistons

Considering the Pels are last in the west and never led, while Cade was out and Zion was sick, that was a surprisingly entertaining game!

Really enjoyed the Pels announcers

Chandler_Bings | Pistons

No Cade? No problem. Daniss Jenkins is more than serviceable to step up.

Jenkins might be the best two-way player in the league right now. I was shocked to learn that he was even on a two-way contract

Crafty_Substance_954 | Pistons

He’s earning that $85k guaranteed salary.

Ironredhornet | Pistons

Probably better to keep the flexibility until we absolute need to convert him to a full contract.

Jordan Poole playing the entire 4th quarter lmfao, poor Pels fans

Jordan Poole shot selection is so laughably bad, he’s so far beyond a negative contributor. Perfect tank commander

We haven’t won a playoff series since 2008 and yet I’d kinda be shocked if we didn’t at least appear in the ECF

This team is so fucking deep

Bard_Wannabe_ | Pistons

i know what you mean, but the Heat are currently in 8th. They always bring games close against the Pistons. So the series against the play-in winners isn’t a gimme.

My worst fear is the Bucks getting the 8th spot. By far the team I fear most.

League Pass is worth it just to listen to the Pels announcers. They clearly watch ball around the league.

nahbien | Pistons

Surprisingly entertaining game with cade out and zion barely playing. I don’t know how I would stand to watch 41 home games of robotic “Defense” over and over on the PA though. Queen racked up a ton of assists without me even noticing.

Daniss Jenkins, sits for a few games and when he does play he balls.

Muppetpalooza | Trail Blazers

5 | 3 hours ago

I really don’t understand the point of Ivey. He’s not as good as Jenkins and doesn’t step up at all when Cade is out, yet gets more consistent bench minutes. Even Sasser can heat up at a higher temp.

mildly_anonymous

We’re trying to let him get a couple really nice games out there before we trade him, hopefully. He just hasn’t been able to step up.

nugentismycenter | Pistons

2 | 2 hours ago

I don’t think Ivey will be on the team much longer. I will say he is returning from injury and it’s clear he isn’t the same player.

samurairocketshark | Suns

1 | an hour ago

His skillset seems kind of redundant on this team. It’s a shame too because his injuries definitely hurt his development and he was actually decent from 3 in the games he played last year

Chandler_Bings | Pistons

1 | 26 minutes ago

Ivey has no purpose here for exactly the reasons you said. I believe we have been trying to give him every chance to show out to up his trade value and he can’t do that. The only way he stays here after the trade deadline is if nobody wants to spin the wheels on him.

He’s just sick.

Hovi_Bryant | Pistons

I’m guessing Zion had a bad meal before the game? He felt ill mid-game?

OrganicMechanicTTV | Pistons

He was listed as questionable due to illness even before the game.

Bard_Wannabe_ | Pistons

Look how balanced the Pistons’ assists numbers are. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen that where just about everybody was hovering around 3 assists.

In 2024 if you were to tell anyone the Pistons will be on pace to fulfill the 40-20 rule just a couple seasons later, you would probably end up in an asylum
