didn’t even need to just start punching people

Elite ball knowledge

Just a hypothetical, I suppose

They just found the 1 missing piece

We are 12-4 without Cade

Very happy about this since it makes the hawks look better! Hopefully we can see you in round 2 👀. Except it’ll take years off my life probably

Ewing theory

When you have the identity of a defensive team you really can foul however the fuck much you want and the ref’s stop calling it.

Enough to throw every other team off, still have to be good enough to keep up with teams offensively so I’ll give you that but I can’t wait to see a series not go your way due to a free throw difference and see all you baby’s cry.

Boston has your number all round, Cleveland can beat you if they get the calls they deserve with how they foul bait, NYK might sneak a series against you with there pressure on the rim and permiter shooting.

IF THE PISTONS MAKE THE FINALS I’LL DRINK MY OWN PISS

YKTPWTFS

You know the pistons one again

Maybe he’ll pardon Chauncey

So glad he’s doing work for yall!

He’s already president of the NBACA how bad could he do as the actual president.

Keep the energy when your season ends in game 4 or 5 of round 1 with cade dribbling the ball for 22 seconds and bricking a shot with no offense run

Two years ago I attended three home games and spent less than $30 on tickets in total

it really is. absurdly fast rise it’s damn impressive

What makes it special is that we didnt gut our roster and rebuild - Cade, Duren, Ausar, Stew, and Sasser all went through it and are key contributors this season. Tobias has seen some shit as a Piston as well. Jenkins and Reed will also be remembered for their outsized contributions relative to where they were before this season (G-league and journeyman). And of course, props to everyone else on the roster who may not have seen the lowest of lows with Detroit but have also been core members of the winning run.

With the exact same core too. Duren, Cade, Ausar, & Stew, hell even Sasser (whose been solid as a backup guard since Cade went out) were all on that team

As a Spurs local I got nothing but respect and love for the Pistons. Great job!

Yeah yall and Spurs have really accelerated into beast contenders it’s wild to see. Gonna be a fun playoffs

Meanwhile my Bulls…

Congratulations for the first seed. Now, the real deal starts in a few weeks.

I compared the rosters of today vs that 28 loss team. Unrecognizable

As a neutral I could definitely see the vision even in the midst of the 23-24 lows, the talent was there. But to do it in 2 years is incredibly impressive.

That cp3 merchant named m*nty should probably never touch an nba job till he serves due time from his crimes against basketball

I remember thinking Josh Smith would be the start of returning to prominence lol

That Smith, Monroe, Drummond lineup was a affront to modern basketball

I became a fan during that mini run we went on after Josh Smith got released😭

Jesus, bro. I was lucky enough to witness all three championships, but you’ve come from the mud

Same here, I thought Stanley Johnson was gonna be a star

It’s maddening, last year the reasoning was taking a good team to great was more impressive than greatly outperforming projections. This year national media can only talk about how impressive it is the Celtics have surpassed their preseason win total (by less than the pistons did last year)

Eh, you guys can have it. Well deserved.

I will say, all the bitching and whining in this sub about JB being a nobody goes very quiet when you want to use him to further your agenda.

Man, just be happy instead of finding something to complain about. Our Pistons are finally back baby!

If you think Mazulla winning this year would be robbery… lol. But also, why can’t you just be happy for your team and coach instead of downplaying the achievements of another?  

It’s always kinda bugged me that the line is “tripled” and not “more than tripled.” Only because the Bobcats tripled their record after a shortened season (7 -> 21), so technically speaking we aren’t the first team to triple our record but we are the first team to more than triple (14 -> 44).

It’s pedantic and silly, but it removes the need for any additional qualifier

Honestly who cares about the awards. An award that Cade is ineligible to earn even though he played more than Wemby is irrelevant to me too.

Awards are meaningless. I’d rather have rings

your’re arguing against noone. JB is by far the betting odds favorite to win COTY.

No thank you

Bring em on

They’ve dominated the hornets this season

Too fast of a rise. People can’t compute literally worst to best in 2 years

Yea but Jayson Tatum is back, didn’t you hear?

(Miami does)

Cavs fan talking about any team having difficulties in the playoffs

All time playoff great - James Harden - will surely get you guys there

Remember last year when you were going to easily sweep the Pacers? Good times

1973

Fuckin loser deleted their comment lol

Knicks haven’t won anything since Ford pardoned Nixon.

What Knicks fans are praying to satin for

You know, I can take shit talk from fans of a team that had actually won something recently but you guys have nothing to show for your bluster.

Dude…..

what happeened when the pistons played you this season? When Cade fathered brunson with that 43 point outing, i would still be salty too LMFAO

I can see you’re totally not sour lol
