Pistons did strategically rest their players in a competitive game vs OKC yesterday.

not surprising they whooped us although their shooting was hotter than usual.

Crafty_Substance_954 | Pistons

26 | 3 days ago

Shooting has been trending upward

DunnySay0 | Pistons

32 | 3 days ago

Huerter shooting better + sasser/jenkins getting more play time has really stretched the floor for us

shangalang69 | Raptors

57% from 3 by detroit like cmon bruh

TopHatTony11 | Pistons

I was probably more surprised than you were by that.

They almost fucking won that game as well lol. No Duren no Cade, maybe a couple more idk, almost took OKC out

EricFredNorris

Duncan and Tobias too. 4 of the starting 5 and our best defender in Stew. The teams deep but JB should be the no question COTY

Carnatic_enthusiast | Pistons

If you ask OKC fans their G-league squad beat or our “mostly healthy” team

Incredible. But let’s not forget the guy who got 21/5/5 on what is one of the best contracts in the league.

jfkgoblue | Pistons

Clinched the division which doesn’t mean much nowadays but still nice

1 seed Magic number is 2

earora4498 | Pistons

Most of the time I forget this league even has divisions

expansion would be a good time to finally get rid of them. No one cares

Crafty_Substance_954 | Pistons

It’s another layer of tiebreaker.

MrBuckBuck | Trail Blazers

58 | 3 days ago

The Pistons can’t cease to amaze me this season, keep giving their heart out, winning without Cade Cunningham, giving hell to the Thunder - BEASTS

And they look even better than the Knicks.

Edit: Barnes didn’t do well offensively - 5 Points on ²⁄₈ FG, 0/2 from 3, ¹⁄₄ FT, 1 Rebound (YES, ONE), but 12 Assists (4 TOV), 3 Steals, 2 Blocks

Another one who finished with 12 assists (1 TOV) is Jamal Shead, but the Raptors still lost

Crafty_Substance_954 | Pistons

44 | 3 days ago

Bro we bodied the Knicks, damn straight we look better than them so far this year.

TopHatTony11 | Pistons

19 | 3 days ago

Being better than the Knicks was the mission statement for the year, I think.

UnkleGiovanni | Pistons

25 | 3 days ago

What a weird thing to say; no shit they look better than the Knicks, beat their ass 3 times by an average of 28 points, and have been in first the entire season.

Big_Accountant369 | Pistons

2 | 3 days ago

Almost beat them in the playoffs, might have if the refs call josh hart for the foul.

Myhtological | Hawks

Hi!

redeugene99 | Pistons

2 | 3 days ago

What do the Knicks have to do with anything? Of course we look better than them. Belt to ass everytime we played them this season

schoolhater12 | Raptors

48 | 3 days ago

There is a gigantic gap between the Pistons and Raptors. Great coach, Great number 2, and very deep team. I also think these games without Cade will be very good in the playoffs because the right guys are getting minutes as the secondary and tertiary playmakers. I also like the fact that they are very physical, but it goes both ways.

Scottie has been awesome for the past couple of games, so i am going to just ignore this game

Deadite_Scholar | Pistons

12 | 3 days ago

I actually think Cade going down has helped Jenkins a lot. He was in a massive slump and had all but fallen out of the rotation until he was called upon to start.

pepsandeggs | Pistons

Hey I won’t tolerate Darko slander! It’s a Complete Crap!!!

Top-Noise-7375

Bal knower, a lot of pistons fans aren’t observing these things lol. seeing guys like Huerter and Jenkins get extended run against playoff teams makes me very confident about how they’ll perform against opposing benches come playoff time

Crafty_Substance_954 | Pistons

40 | 3 days ago

The fatigue was definitely visible but happy we took care of business and now the magic number for the 1 seed is 2 games.

jfkgoblue | Pistons

31 | 3 days ago

A 9:30 pm road game to travel B2B is such bullshit scheduling

heat_fan_ | Raptors

37 | 3 days ago

This game definitely wasn’t as close as the final score suggests

Duren is a dawg

Noone other than Ingram or Barret really gave a damn

AroundNdowN | Pistons

15 | 3 days ago

Mamu was killing us

DarkoDragicevic

8 | 3 days ago

Murray Boyles not gave s damn?

shangalang69 | Raptors

9 | 3 days ago

dont listen to him hes a bot based on box scores

DarkoDragicevic

2 | 3 days ago

But his box score is very good today

shangalang69 | Raptors

2 | 3 days ago

the bot just goes off highest points

FuzzyGuarantee2350

1 | 3 days ago

Ingram was god awful tonight forget what the points say. He came back and slowed the offense to a crawl so he could play 1 on 1.

Beetle919 | Hornets

34 | 3 days ago

Jalen Duren All-NBA lock and he’s going to get paid this offseason.

Barnyard_Rich | Pistons

16 | 3 days ago

Yep, I think he actually gets second team. A month ago I would have said 3rd

Good shit Pistons I knew I can count on you.

Deadite_Scholar | Pistons

Now I’m hoping I can count on the Heat to return the favor and beat the Celtics right?

Myhtological | Hawks

9 | 3 days ago

Where’s our thanks?

Ice_Dragon3444 | Heat

6 | 3 days ago

we’ll do our very best but don’t you have the 1 seed pretty much locked in anyways?

AroundNdowN | Pistons

11 | 3 days ago

Yeah if we lose it at this point, that’s on us.

vlad_the_impaler13 | Pistons

3 | 3 days ago

Yeah with the Pacers and Bucks on the schedule alongside the currently cold Magic that’s on us

d11dd11d | Pistons

4 | 3 days ago

Yeah just have to win ²⁄₆ to secure it, worst case if celtics go undefeated to close out season

Deadite_Scholar | Pistons

2 | 3 days ago

Probably. 2 is our number, but I just want some end of season basketballl where I don’t have to fret about it.

shangalang69 | Raptors

9 | 3 days ago

as if you are coming for our seed anyways lmao

Myhtological | Hawks

10 | 3 days ago

That’s why I’m here!

Ice_Dragon3444 | Heat

2.5 game away and we play you 2 more times soo

shangalang69 | Raptors

7 | 3 days ago

and we own your asses lmao

Ice_Dragon3444 | Heat

6 | 3 days ago

LOL Herro and Pelle didn’t play in either of our 2 games so you haven’t beaten us fully healthy yet.

shangalang69 | Raptors

3 | 3 days ago

tyler herro and pelle larsson omg terrifying bro

Ice_Dragon3444 | Heat

2 | 3 days ago

Herro is our best scorer and Pelle has been our most consistent player and won us many games.

mcolwander90 | Pistons

19 | 3 days ago

Division champs! Magic Number for the 1-seed is now 2.

Last time the Pistons won a 55th game: April 6, 2008 (55-21 record, Rodney Stuckey leads the Pistons with 19 points, which falls short of Earl Barron’s game-leading 20, but the Pistons still beat the Heat 91-75)

Last time the Pistons won a 56th game: April 11, 2008 (56-23 record, Jason Maxiell scores 28 points in 28 minutes off the bench as the Pistons beat the Wizards 102-74)

ComprehensiveList769 | Hawks

Scary defense by the pistons

earora4498 | Pistons

16 | 3 days ago

All respect to Joe Mazzulla (great coach) but the streets are demanding a JB COTY

DarkoDragicevic

16 | 3 days ago

Bickerstaff doing amazing coaching job in regular season many years in a row with Cavs and Pistons

They played great last night @OKC and tonight at home versus solid Raptors easy win. First seed, even without Cade who is top5 player, they still tier two at least and Daniss Jenkins jump in Case boots so clean

mMounirM | Raptors

He was looking like he’d be out for the season a couple months ago.

Scottie was horrible tonight. Rare off one.

Slappy_san | Pistons

12 | 3 days ago

Tony Brothers’ crew did everything they could to reel Detroit back in multiple times.

I hope the league rescinds the tech Ausar got for signalling the bench to challenge his foul….which was overturned.

DunnySay0 | Pistons

12 | 3 days ago

2 more for that first seed take us home JD 💯

nugentismycenter | Pistons

11 | 3 days ago

Clinched the Central division crown and pushed our magic number to two for the number one seed in the East.

Rocky-Rocker

Was expecting a closer game after the Thunder game.

d11dd11d | Pistons

10 | 3 days ago

Helped that most of our starting lineup (except ausar) was out vs the thunder

94746382926

6 | 3 days ago

We were missing 6 starters in the game against OKC. Litetally just Ausar was the only one who doesn’t normally come off the bench lol.

Rocky-Rocker

2 | 3 days ago

I know that but more so talking about the bench folks who defiantly worked there ass off and the bench played well today.

94746382926

So it turns out cade wasn’t actually leading a group of bums to the most epic carry job in the history of basketball as we were led to believe. Instead, duren has just become an unstoppable beast

mc_foucault | Pistons

3 | 3 days ago

12-2 in the back end of back to back games this year for the pistons. For a team that leans on hustle to win it’s been incredible to watch.

jrzalman | Pistons

4 | 3 days ago

There are some scary teams in the east but the Raptors ain’t one of them.

It’s funny even on a night when everything is going in (60% FG!), Ausar and Holland still can’t throw a pebble in the ocean. Some things never change.

AroundNdowN | Pistons

2 | 3 days ago

Getting essentially zero offensive production from three straight 5th overall picks isn’t ideal.

MrKrebZoid

Old_Supermarket_7575 | Thunder

Pistons gotta Luka Cade

Chuck_Phuckzalot | Pistons

12 | 3 days ago

Thankfully our GM has two braincells to rub together so we would at least get back more than literally nothing.

Wherever Barnes’ offense goes Raptors record follows. I feel like his shooting has cratered this year but I haven’t looked at his fg% to confirm.

mMounirM | Raptors

2 | 3 days ago

This is Scottie’s most efficient year. he’s at 50.7 FG%. last year he was at 44.6 FG%

fibberjabber | Raptors

0 | 3 days ago

Is that accounting for inside and outside shooting? I probably meant eFG?

mMounirM | Raptors

2 | 3 days ago

you probably mean TS% (true shooting) which takes into account 2P%, 3P% and FT%. it’s still his most efficient season.

you can see here year by year

https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask?q=scottie+barnes+ts%25%2C+fg%25%2C+3p%25+and+ft%25+each+year

fibberjabber | Raptors

They are having a better season. So his offense def affects where Raptors go. Helps having Ingram too but I’m not really a fan of his inability to get past most defenders and just relying on his height/shooting plus ball stopping. Feels like a taller DD or Melo lite.

The Detroit Pistons (55-21) defeat the Toronto Raptors (42-33), 127-116.
