Kevin Huerter with his team high on the same day Jaden Ivey gets shut down for the season. Things are funny sometimes.

Duren’s insane efficiency over the last month isn’t being talked about enough. Dude is putting up nearly 23 PPG on just over 12 FGA per game in March.

Last time the Pistons won a 53rd game: April 1, 2008 (53-21 record, the future of the Pistons, Rodney Stuckey, scores 27 as the shorthanded Pistons beat the TWolves 94-90)

Last time the Pistons won a 54th game: April 4, 2008 (54-21 record, Pistons hold the Nets to just 1-12 from 3 in a 106-87 victory - Darrell Armstrong made the Nets’ lone 3 for his only points of the game)

We are a few wins away from a top five regular season record for the Pistons all time!

Feels good, man.

He’s basically become what Zion was supposed to be.

Damn Duren almost with a triple double. Surprised to see him with 7 assists AND scoring that much.

soilentgleem

16 | 8 hours ago

He’s got good passing ability, he’s just kinda went away from it some this year with his increased emphasis on scoring. The hope is he can bring it back next year and put it all together, he would be super dangerous if he does it.

I really would love that jumper and passing ability added in over the offseason, he’d be really scary with that versatility in his bag. He barely attempts those fadeaways/turnaround jumpers but when he does they look pretty good!

Was eager to see how JD would perform without Cade for an extended period. Apparently the answer is “like Shaq but with good free throw shooting”. He’s averaging 30 and 10 with 87% free throw shooting since Cade went down.

Dmoan

22 yr old Healthy Zion or Duren?

Jaerba | DET

14 | 8 hours ago

Zion is still better at creating his own offense but Duren has turned a corner defensively. I think that’s more important from a big.

Dmoan

2 | 7 hours ago

I wonder how much of that is because Duren had Cade and doesn’t need create or run the offense. We saw this game Duren handling the ball more and dishing out outside the box

Jaerba | DET

9 | 7 hours ago

I think he was already showing flashes of advanced playmaking on DHOs and short rolls, but Zion’s face up game is another level.

Top-Noise-7375

Very much this, if the pistons didn’t have an ball dominant passing guard Duren would be getting a lot more looks as the primary creator, evident in what he’s looked like since Cades been out

depends, is it a hotdog eating contest? I’m taking Takeru Kobayashi over both

Jalen duren has become so fucking good man! The development in just one season has been insane and he’s still just 22 lol

fuzzythinker | Nuggets

Why aren’t they playing Queen and Fears more to develop them? It’s not like they’ll ruin their tank vs. Pistons, even w/o Cade

Andy_Wiggins | Timberwolves

11 | 7 hours ago

They have no reason to tank — they don’t own their pick.

Not sure about why they don’t get more burn though

Mo_damo | Pelicans

3 | 7 hours ago

We have a great deal where we dont have a pick, are sooo bad that we are”tanking” while trying to win and add to that have the rookies and young guys develop

Middle-Flower-3624

1 | 2 hours ago

Okay but now that you’re mathematically out of the play in contention considering the circumstances Missi, Queen and Fears have shown potential (especially the latter 2), you may as well give that trio some time since they will definitely be more important for you than DeAndre Jordan in the next couple years.

Yeah, that makes sense.

Is there a reason neither Poole or Looney are playing?

plasmaz_ | Pelicans

The both are unplayable

Looney has no knees for 3 seasons now
