I had a lot of concerns coming into the year. On paper, it seemed like there would be little to no floor spacing and, in the modern nba, lack of floor spacing is an easy way to have an atrocious offense. Somehow though, it’s just working. The duren/Stewart pairing has been dominant through three games. Ausar has been a good slasher type player, killian looks like a serviceable offensive player, burks is playing great, Cade is Cade, and the defense has been terrific. I haven’t been this excited about a pistons team in well over a decade.

    Keeping up the D over course of the year will be key, it’s easy to play this hard in week 1 but gotta do it on long road trips, after 4 game losing streaks, etc. it’s a long season which is why young teams hit walls. But doing this while not having Bogey and Monte is huge, Cade with those two shooters around him will be even better

    We have to see how they play against Boston, bucks and Philly first. If we can beat 2/3 I say we’re pretty good

    Ehh. We have youth, athleticism, energy, and decent basketball IQ. Not a bad foundation.

    I like what I see so far, and they’re going to be better when Monte Morris comes off injury and takes Killian’s place as the starting point gaurd. It’ll add more floor spacing to the starting lineup and better decision making/less turnovers with the veteran out there. He can defend too. Bogdanović will take Joe Harris’ minutes plus another 5 min perhaps. Sausser or Killian will be the 10th man depending on matchups. They may have one of the best benches in the league. If they stay healthy and play consistent defense they can compete for a playoff spot.

    I think we’re better than most thought but not sure that we’re “good”.

    Might be crossing from bad to mediocre, and the gap between mediocre and low-quality playoff team isn’t huge.

    If we had a strong stretch 4 I think we’d be good. Now we’re just above mediocre.

    Now that we have a solid coach w/ a competent coaching staff instead of Deacon Casey trying to raise boys he’d like his daughter to date, we are cooking with grease. We have to be consistently solid before good, but we’re on the right path
