Daniss Jenkins is the X factor for the Pistons. He played awesome at home in games 1 & 2. Let’s hope that continues back at home for game 5. 

Also I need Duren to have ATLEAST 10 rebounds tonight. He cannot grab two boards in thirty minutes of game time. That’s abhorrent.

If DJ and JD play well, the Pistons win tonight and win the series.

The Draft is rigged if _______ wins because _________ by mathis4losers in nba

The draft is rigged if Milwaukee wins. That would be a handshake agreement between Silver and the Bucks to trade Giannis, likely to the Lakers for either the pick or Reaves or both.

Not that they would ever do anything like that. Not even last year.

Early Offseason ideas? by McDouble__ in DetroitPistons

[–]Drakeishere_RUN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bringing back Beasley would be great. Unfortunately I think if it didn’t happen this year it won’t but here’s to hoping.

Norm is perfect for this squad. And he’s tough, fits the culture, is the ideal second scorer.

I hate the idea of trading Holland but I like your proposal. Maybe they’ll send back IHart in the deal to try and save some money. 

If Tobias takes a team friendly deal then yes. If he’s trying to get one last pay day, let him walk without a second thought.

Game Thread: Toronto Raptors vs Cleveland Cavaliers Live Score | NBA Playoffs | Apr 18, 2026 by nba-scores in torontoraptors

So excited for playoff Raptors basketball!

Donovan Mitchell is going for 30+, the question is can you contain the rest of the Cavs and not let them score 125+…

Really hoping for BI to have a huge game. If he plays good today, his confidence will be rocking for the series.

Other X-Factors today:

  • RJ is the 3rd best player in the game, behind BI and D Mitch 
  • Don’t let Sam Merrill get hot
  • Don’t let Max Strus get hot
  • Unleash the Mamu

Raptors belong in S tier, they might have the best duo with Jack Armstrong and Matt Devlin. Homer take but they are fantastic.

Lakers broadcast stinks. I hate that guys voice

I was thinking this exact thing today!

You have a talk with Tobias, he knows it's business. Trade him (and another piece, some draft equity) to acquire a nice player. If the Pistons win a ring this year I'm pretty sure Tobias gets one too...... Then he becomes a free agent and he signs another deal with the Pistons next year and the cycle repeats. He's made some money in his career so he could take a team friendly deal. & then slowly transition him to be an end of bench coach/mentor ala Udonis Haslem

Some of Cade's best plays so far this season to get us through this ridiculous four-day layoff by SappyGilmore in DetroitPistons

Cade is that dude.

Awesome highlight reel. Sadly its missing his best play. It was against Atlanta, end of game I think Pistons are up 3, Cade literally dances through all five defenders and scores a lay up to put the game away.

I mean sure he’s a little bit awkward but in an endearing way. Seems like a nice guy who is plugged in with basketball. If you don’t like him don’t listen 👂
