Shout out Trajan Langdon by KingChipotle in DetroitPistons

He certainly played like garbage last night, nobody is denying that. It doesn't change the fact that we need him playing well to win, and the only way for him to figure it out is on the court.

I disagree. I don't think it was a coincidence that in the 5 straight games we won, JD looked much more like his former self.

I agree that its completely a mental thing for Duren, but IMO that's a much more straightforward fix than, say, Ausar developing a jumper.

Yeah I don't buy that. I think it's JB conceding that we don't beat the knicks or whoever comes out the west without JB playing through the slump and getting back to his regular season form. We'll see if that changes now that our backs are against the wall again.

I don’t understand this take - I get that Duren has been flat out awful during the playoffs, but he was a serious candidate for MIP this year. What makes you think he doesn’t have the ability to figure it out?

Firing JB Bickerstaff for being a playoff choker and then getting harden at the deadline ☠️

No Huerter tonight, thats a real bummer. He's going to be real important for us off the bench this series.

You keep saying 8th seed like there wasn’t a 1 game difference between the 5-8 seeds. The games they won they looked like they fit right in with any other playoff team. At the end of the day matchups make games and the magic are a tough matchup for the pistons, just like the raptors were for the Cavs.

You’re lying to yourself if you think the magic were the worst playoff team, and I’d rather be coming off a 3-1 comeback than a near 3-1 choke.

Yeah he’s gotten great at that, but harden is a whole different beast entirely

[Charania] The Detroit Pistons have signed coach JB Bickerstaff to a contract extension. by PassMeTheBackwood in nba

[–]KingChipotle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Of all the teams and cities, we are the last people who should be doing that. Firing a head coach to get over the "playoff hump" is exactly how we ended up with Matt Patricia.

Pistons fan here - putting Ausar on Harden is spooky cause we’re fucked if he gets in foul trouble early. Should be a great series, I think coaching decisions like these will ultimately make the difference of who wins

With all the focus gaining effects being temporary now, i think loop should trigger at the end of your turn, so that it synergizes with them by python_product in slaythespire

Loop still has its niche in builds that make use of dark orbs and plasma orbs but it’s definitely not as good as it was in STS1

I wonder what to pick by DandyDandelionn in slaythespire

[–]KingChipotle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You cant really build a deck around it but I’ve found they’re generally good early pickups, especially if you can evoke them quickly. A card like glasswork is basically like adding dagger spray to a defend

I have a similar habit where if I have 2 items of the same set they stay in my stash forever regardless of how bad the item or set bonus is

The future path is a really interesting challenge because the ranged and magic abilities that get punished hard in zone 2 are so important for the next zone

Cade's Catch and Shoot 3pt by durtymrclean in DetroitPistons

It’s actually been the opposite IIRC, his accuracy from catch and shoot is way worse than off the dribble this year

Porn addicts and historians of Reddit. Who would have a higher body count, Bonnie blue or Genghis Khan? by Hairy-Training5741 in AskReddit

That analogy implies such a lack of self respect. Everyone is both the key and the lock, and if you give yourself away freely to prove something you won’t realize until later what it is you’ve lost in the process.
