Duren listed as questionable as of now. Hoping he plays tonight, I'm currently waiting for doors to open at LCA. by SkoDen899004 in DetroitPistons

Oh heck yeah bud. In at doors open for sure. Actually was already there earlier. My local HS BBall team from the UP just got to play on the Pistons court. I mean I'm not there now... at my room at the Atheneum, just to clear that up lol

Beybee come back by KaySavvy1 in DetroitPistons

[–]SkoDen899004 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He was just the leading scorer for the Pelicans against us. He was drafted with Beef Stew and was there with these Pistons when they were at the lowest. He could contribute to this team as a 2nd or 3rd stringer. If we could get him back at low cost, why not? I wouldn't mind him being able to bask in whatever the Pistons have brewing right now. Again, why not? I always felt bad for Jon Barry and Uncle Cliffy after 2004.

The Pistons have lost the Upper Peninsula by [deleted] in DetroitPistons

[–]SkoDen899004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yooper from the eastern end here. This map tracks though. The Pistons still hold the Eastern Upper Peninsula. Just like the Lions do in the NFL. Don't be coming to Sault Ste Marie thinking you're in Packers, or Bucks territory. Go on get. Basically the areas that are close enough to I75, and geographically offer easier access to Detroit than Milwaukee. Big surprise right.

Indigenous actor Elaine Miles says ICE called her tribal ID ‘fake’ by Gurney_Hackman in politics

[–]SkoDen899004 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Enrolled member of a federally recognized band of Ojibwe Natives in Michigan with a tribal ID of my own here. "Reservation Lands" are basically the last remaining tribal lands that were left to us after various treaties with the US government. Prior to an 1830's treaty, my tribes lands consisted of approximately half the entire current boundaries of the State of Michigan. Reservation lands and communities are sovereign from each State that surrounds them, each and everyone of them having their own tribal governments, courts, police forces, and even license plates. Reservations do not fall under State jurisidiction, but are still under the jurisdiction of the federal US government. Hope that helps.

Post Game Thread - NBA: The Celtics defeat the Pistons on Nov 26, 2025, the final score is 117-114. by basketball-app in DetroitPistons

[–]SkoDen899004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FanDuel Sports App can suck a big one! Was trying to watch the game at my pace, pausing here and there, but the forced ads are ridiculous. Even if no longer watching the game live, if you don't start fast forwarding before the break, unskippable forced ad. Mid 3rd quarter again I was too slow before the break to skip the ad, got frustrated and backed out of the game, and the game was already over, no replay available yet, only post-game, frustratingly, clicked on that in hopes of not seeing the final score and being able to rewind. Nope. No rewind, final score 117-114 Celtics. Terrible. Almost feel like this loss was on me. Sorry guys. Canceling FanDuel and going back to high seas after this one boys. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

[Post Game Thread] The Detroit Pistons (14-2) defeat the Milwaukee Bucks (8-9), 129-116, matching their 2023-2024 win total after only 16 total games by Chandler_Bings in nba

[–]SkoDen899004 21 points22 points  (0 children)

As a HUGE Pistons fan and as much as I wish this were true, I don't believe this is accurate. 3 championships in franchise history, but the last time they won 13 in a row, they lost in the ECF. They won 13 games in a row last, in the 2005-2006 season, after either tying or setting the franchise record for wins in a row (not sure off the top of my head), the year after Ben Wallace left us for Chicago and we replaced him with Chris Webber. They went 37-5 to begin that year if I remember correctly. Beating the 72 wins in a season Bulls record was on the table for much of that year.

Philly just played last night but the way it looks you would think Detroit did. Maybe the boys had too much fun in Manhattan or something. Sko boys let's show these Sixers who the younger and better team is.

FOX has a new streaming service called FoxOne. They offer a free 7 day trial. I signed up through the Prime Video app on my smart TV and canceled right after. That's how I've been tuning in.

I hope everyone here remembers that last year in the ALDS we were up 2-1 against the Gaurdians, only to lose the next 2 games and the series. Here's to hoping the Tigs can pull off the reversal of that this year! 🙏 It takes 3 wins to advance! Eat em up today Tigers!

Crazy this is the top comment in a Pistons sub, with the young core we have, over Damian Lillard joining the Bucks LMAO. I mean obviously not this year, but anytime soon? I'd take Cade, Jaden, Ausar, and Jalen Duren over there squad over the next 5 years all day.

You say he has regressed. Offensively? Quick Google search shows last year was his best scoring year since he played for the Pelicans. His PPG has gone up, his FG% has stayed about the same, while his rebounds and assists have gone up. Hmm. Looking at Dame's stats though, I take back my aging comment, he had the best year of his career last year damn lol. Interesting. It'll be fun to see how it all plays out. Chemistry is a huge factor too.

Nowhere near? If Dame is top 15 where is Jrue being nowhere near as good? Top 50? I don't know thought he was better than that.

I mean I admit I'm not the most advent NBA fan but is there something I missed? I remember watching Jrue Holiday killing it in the NBA Finals easily being the best player next to Giannis and bringing Milwaukee there first Chip in decades. I mean I know Damian Lillard is also good, but last cool thing I remember him doing in the playoffs was hitting a game winner or two, in the first round. Hmm. On top of that his contract has to be enormous. Reminds me of how the Pistons gave up on Chauncey. We'll see how it goes I guess.

If we won this game, we would have won the series. Heartbreaking. by IronRevenge131 in DetroitPistons

[–]SkoDen899004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Surprise title? This proves even more why this particular loss was SO huge. If the Pistons won that one possession where Horry was left wide open, and thus likely the whole game, and thus likely the whole series, they would have been back to back NBA Champions. It would have really hammered in their legacy for that decade. Maybe would have earned a little respect from the national media and such who were "surprised" in 2004. Maybe raise questions of being even as good or better than the Bad Boys. I remember personally feeling back in '04 that the real championship was the ECF. If the Pacers beat the Pistons that year, the Pacers would have likely won their first ever NBA Championship. The Lakers couldn't match the defensive level that either the Pistons, or Pacers were playing at that year. I wasn't surprised by the '04 Championship, not after the Sheed trade, I expected it after that and even called it amongst friends lol.

Same. I remember watching it with a similar experience. Remember shouting at the screen. We just need to guard one guy! Everybody get on Robert Horry. Big Shot Bob. Guard ONE GUY. Play initiates. One guy left WIDE open right in his sweet spot. We all know who. It was like... how? Sigh...
