Stealing this game would be HUGE

Took the phone out of my hands because I was too angry when they went down 20

Gritty performance since then

This is just a pathetic effort tonight man

Simone Fontecchio has been a huge disappointment to start the season:

2023: 47.9/42.6/84.6 splits
2024: 36.8/32.6/81.0 splits

Sure, he’s only played in 14 games… but man he’s been a net negative on the court this year

Bad game. 5th game in 7 days. It happens.

Takeaways:

Duren couldn’t defend any switches tonight. Surprising to see him get 30 minutes to Stew’s 19

THJ and Ivey combined 4 for 22

This is a game where you REALLY miss Ausar

Think I’ve seen enough tonight. Duren with a disastrous performance
November 19, 2024 at 2:08 AM
Terrible play by Fonte there…. Hold the ball for the last shot!
November 19, 2024 at 1:50 AM
Aaaand Duren is back
November 19, 2024 at 1:43 AM
Duren shouldn’t play another minute tonight
November 19, 2024 at 1:40 AM
Get Duren off the court holy shit
November 19, 2024 at 1:36 AM
Leaving vuc wide open for every outside look is certainly a choice

5th game in 7 days and it’s showing
November 19, 2024 at 1:09 AM

Pistons will improve to 7-8. Chance to get to .500 tomorrow night at home against the Bulls (opened Pistons -3)

Standout stats:

Cade 10 assists to 2 turnovers
Cade 5(!) steals
Beas 26 points / Ivey 28 points
Stew 1/2 from deep

22 point lead with 6:50 left in the 3rd Q- they’ve blown similar leads over the last 6 games (despite being 3-3 over those games)

Need to hold onto this thing and cruise to an easy W. Heart can’t handle another high blood pressure game
November 18, 2024 at 12:32 AM
Ivey knocking down 3s completely changes this team’s offense
November 18, 2024 at 12:03 AM
Beasley with 13 points on 5/5 from the field. Have to keep him in the starting lineup moving forward, right?
November 17, 2024 at 11:52 PM
I don’t know the last time the Pistons signed a FA with as much of an immediate impact as Beasley
November 17, 2024 at 11:14 PM
Put Sarr in a torcher chamber

Pistons are 5.5 point favorites on the road vs the Wizards today. Have to keep winning the winnable games, especially because our December schedule is a certified gauntlet

The Detroit Pistons beat the Toronto Raptors despite shooting 21.1% from 3 on 38 attempts.

In the roughly 5,000 games played since 2020, only 7 teams have won despite shooting that poorly from deep on at least 38 attempts.

Next game Sunday (11/17) on the road against the 2-9 Wizards. Hopefully THJ will be ready to go by then. Win that game and you’re flirting with being .500 16 games into the season for the first time since 2018
