Imagine if we stop shooting sub 20% from three and get back to our season average of 35%

mc_foucault | Pistons

33 | 5 hours ago

Could run the table if they just hit 30% from 3 for the rest of the season.

sloBrodanChillosevic | Supersonics

Pistons shot ⁴⁄₃₀ from deep and shot 7 fewer FTs and they won by 14 in a pretty stress-free manner. Don’t think I’ve seen that in a while.

Crafty_Substance_954 | Pistons

There are levels to this (being bad at offense) thing

sloBrodanChillosevic | Supersonics

20 | 5 hours ago

At least you’ve got the being good at defense thing down pretty well

Crafty_Substance_954 | Pistons

18 | 5 hours ago

Yeah but my joke was that Orlando was better at being bad on offense than we were.

Paolo gonna play so much better when he goes to Seattle. Calling it now

Barnyard_Rich | Pistons

Oh shit, as a guy who has been demanding Seattle get a team back, I would actually love that combination.

YpsitheFlintsider

They went ³⁄₁₂ in the second half and it was an improvement

aussierulesisgrouse | Pistons

Magic had 19 makes in the paint to 38 from the Pistons.

THIRTY EIGHT.

axnjxn00 | Magic

nugentismycenter | Pistons

With their 45th win the Pistons have surpassed their win total from last year and Vegas preseason odds.

Barnyard_Rich | Pistons

32 | 5 hours ago

I was optimistic about the team, but I honestly thought those preseason odds were fair.

What a rube I was.

YpsitheFlintsider

I don’t think anyone on the planet had this team doing this well this year

Ice_Dragon3444 | Heat

Pistons really won this game by 14 while shooting 13% from 3.

The Magic have to be the most disappointing team by far this season relative to expectacions.

The Clippers have been extremely disappointing relative to their level of talent. but I feel like Clippers fans are used to disappointment, so it loops around and becomes not disappointing anymore.

tacodude64 | San Diego Clippers

That died out with the Harden + Zu trades though. Now there’s no expectations, which is when the Clippers are at their best.

Barnyard_Rich | Pistons

I guess I’ll be the guy again to point out Ausar’s stats: 80% shooting, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 blocks, 2 steals.

Cade is an absolute beast

happehdaze | Pistons

36 | 5 hours ago

There was this series of plays in the 3rd where he knocked down a 3 after good team ball movement, and then drove down in transition to score a layup, then assisted Harris on a 3 pointer after pushing the ball in transition. Pistons took the first lead of the game and then never really looked back. He really is a MVP candidate, I can’t believe it.

TopHatTony11 | Pistons

With tonight’s win, the Pistons have won 45 games, the most since 2008. They have 23 more games to play.

SC_Red | Pistons

Smothered them on defense but can’t shoot a 3 to save our damn lives. It was like ²⁄₂₀ at some point?

Individual-Bee-7801 | Pistons

0 for the first 15

¹⁄₁₈ in the first half

How you gonna lose to a team that only made 4 threes

justFramy | Thunder

10 | 5 hours ago

kinda reminds me of the thunder winning game 4 of the finals while shooting ³⁄₁₆ from three

Slight_Dragonfruit69 | Pistons

5 | 4 hours ago

You could tell the Pacers were excited to go up 3-1 and basically seal the series and they weren’t entirely focused on finishing the game. Then Shai remembered he’s good at basketball and the rest is history

Shoutout Tobias

rusty512 | Pistons

30 | 5 hours ago

Pistons fans are way too harsh on Duncan missing shots. Because he’s the only guy who can shoot teams are gonna be basically glued to him on defense. I don’t know why fans can’t understand this.

JustinTheCreator | Pistons

15 | 4 hours ago

I agree. I’m probably in the minority, but I think fans should be excited that we have a team that can pull out wins despite shooting so poorly from 3.

ObeseBumblebee | Pistons

7 | 3 hours ago

It’s honestly my favorite thing about this team. I know we want them hitting 3s more. But the fact that they’re such a paint heavy team is so fun to watch and so different from everyone else in the NBA

YpsitheFlintsider

9 | 4 hours ago

Teams have to have a person on Duncan at all times. That in itself opens up space for his team

mcolwander90 | Pistons

27 | 4 hours ago

Been a while since I’ve done this.

Last time the Pistons won a 45th game: March 7, 2008 (45-17 record, Tayshaun Prince with an underrated 28 as the Pistons beat the Knicks)

Last time the Pistons won a 46th game: March 9, 2008 (46-17 record, Chauncey Billups with 34 on 9-12 shooting and 13-14 from the line to beat the Bulls 116-109)

I didn’t realize that Suggs was struggling this badly from beyond the arc. I thought the dude was the perfect 3 and D player, what happened?

Immediate_Product714 | Magic

3 | 4 hours ago

He’s become a hero ball type of player.

rusty512 | Pistons

3 | 3 hours ago

It’s crazy he had literally one good shooting season and immediately got his contract and has been awful from 3 ever since

YpsitheFlintsider

He at no point had the 3

Tobias Harris REALLY hates the Magic bruh

Duckney | Pistons

When people call Tobias a bad contract I point to games like this. He does so much for this specific team that he’s worth every penny

JoaquinBenoit | Pistons

His vet uncness cannot be understated with this young team. With Beasley and Hardaway gone, it’s more important this season.

Why do the game threads always mess up the rebounds?

Pistons outrebounded the Magic 56-41, which is bad, but not as bad as the 66-46 it shows up there.

Idk who Jalen Suggs thinks he is
