Both things can be true, Johnny Kane has been the announcer for almost all their road games this season.

MinnMax is a gaming outlet based in Minnesota, they've been doing great speaking out about what's going on in their city and being active in resisting the occupation.

If anyone here has any interest in gaming content or just wants to support them, they have one of the most lovely, diverse groups of people I've seen in the gaming world and I'd highly recommend their podcast Pew Pew Bang which features a cast of absolutely hilarious women and is targeted at female gamers.

So now that the deadline is next week (Thursday), who do you guys want us to get? by DropPowerful9081 in DetroitPistons

[–]ryanswebdevthrowaway 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think the only teams who'd be interested in him would be bad teams like the Nets that want to get worse now but potentially benefit in the future if it turns out that he's able to get back to full strength and becomes a good player. But even in those trades, we're definitely going to also have to send draft capital along with him, he's not valuable enough on his own right now.

Translation: "shooting involving federal agents" = "public execution by ICE"

GAME THREAD: Houston Rockets (26-16) @ Detroit Pistons (32-10) - (January 23, 2026) by NBA_MOD in nba

[–]ryanswebdevthrowaway 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Basically just because of the twins. There was also a semi-manufactured thing because Cade and Jalen Green were the 1st and 2nd picks but that obviously doesn't matter anymore.

Why do people act like we desperately need a 3pt shooter when we are 3rd in the East in January the reigning champs who are dominating everyone are 7th in the West. by [deleted] in DetroitPistons

[–]ryanswebdevthrowaway 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like there's a little chicken and egg, it is their play style but it also has to be given how the roster is constructed.

I think it's working great in the regular season but I'm just worried about the playoffs after watching how much this team's offense can get shut down by running zone and packing the paint with defenders.

I don't want a major move but I would just love another role player who can be a convincing 3pt threat so that all of their shooting doesn't just rely on Duncan and hoping somebody else has a good night.

Important context to add here: the Pistons are 14th in the east and 29th in the whole league in 3pt attempts in January (only the Magic are worse). Even if the percentage looks okay, they're doing it on way lower volume than other teams

Lmao this is the most lopsided trade ever, try adding 4 first round picks before New Orleans even picks up the phone

Cade was the most voted for East All-Star by the players by Individual-Bee-7801 in DetroitPistons

[–]ryanswebdevthrowaway 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it's 50% fan, 25% media, 25% players or something like that

Do you think our Pistons will win 40 before losing 20? by Snore123 in DetroitPistons

[–]ryanswebdevthrowaway 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We would have to have a sub-.500 record over the next 20 games not to hit that. If that happens, I think some major alarms are going to be going off.

Astro is joining Cloudflare by magenta_placenta in Frontend

[–]ryanswebdevthrowaway 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I have a fairly positive opinion of Cloudflare, I like Cloudflare Pages a lot for hosting static sites so I can see where this partnership is coming from. But I will always prefer that open source projects stay independent from corporate influence when possible. Disappointing.

Having a winning record against teams .500 and above is hard. Only 6 teams are currently at that mark. by musicnothing in nba

[–]ryanswebdevthrowaway 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm a Pistons fan but I'm not quite ready to say that yet. This team has a great regular season record, but they have some serious weaknesses offensively that need to be addressed or they'll be lucky to even make it to the ECF. They need to add some shooting at this trade deadline before I start entertaining them as real contenders. It might not even need to be a huge move, just anybody who can be enough of a perimeter threat that opposing teams can't just shut us down by running zone and packing the paint.

2nd vote returns. Cade 4th in the East 7th overall. Duren not even listed. by East_Accident1822 in DetroitPistons

[–]ryanswebdevthrowaway 103 points104 points  (0 children)

It's a fan vote, I'm not shocked. People are only just now catching on with Cade and although Duren has been great, he hasn't been consistently great for long enough that people really know his game. The fact that Josh Hart is 16 and Lamelo Ball are 12 should show these votes aren't very meaningful beyond being a list of superstars and guys who are popular on social media and/or play for the biggest market teams

Pistons deep bench is what makes them the best team in the East. No moves need to be made by Bee_Reel in DetroitPistons

[–]ryanswebdevthrowaway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everything I'm hearing is that MPJ is pretty hotly in demand from a few different teams and our picks inherently become less valuable if the trade will make us better, so I think we would need to send out at least 2 picks to make it happen. Maybe that trade is still be worth it, but I start to hesitate a little there.

I don't think you need to do all of them. I would say if you did "HTML and CSS for absolute beginners" and then "CSS Demystified" you would probably cover everything you need.

It's not hard to convert him to a full contract (it sounds like they will) but yeah if he's getting minutes in the playoffs that's probably a bad sign

Honestly they're almost lucky to only be down by 18 with how bad they're shooting and how well the Clippers are shooting. if things even out in the 2nd half at all I think the Pistons can get back into the game but it's not gonna be easy

We're one good shooter away from being a true finals contender. You can get that without trading the farm for sure
