I can’t remember the last time I used an antenna. Maybe 2005?? But Pistons got me spending $20 to get a season of basketball. Is this an unselfish move by the team to put the games on local TV? Or was this the best financial move for the team? Either way I’m liking it.

A lot of bars have DIRECTV and other cable networks that don’t carry scripp sports.

YouTube TV doesn’t cover it in Grand Rapids

Super lame to see bars not able to easily turn on a game. I thought this change was going to make things easier.

No one has basic antennas with only local channels which is the only way you can get the games for free out here

edit I paid for DAZN. I get that antennas get the game for free (which is great) at home. But cable and streaming services (aka YouTube TV) don’t carry the game in Grand Rapids like it does in metro Detroit which blows

Is he ranked too high, too low, or right where he should be?

I feel like he’s right where he should be. Now he can take this season to ascend above those in front of him in real time while the world watches. It, to me, is a reason why Cade’s saying that we’re slept on

The article if anyone wants to read it

Winter style jackets and graffiti paint? Not that im the authority on style or anything but its a miss for me.

EDIT: pasting the pistons content here, thanks to user angelansbury for the gift link!

1. Detroit Pistons (30.5)
   It’s about the free throws. The Pistons fouled the bejesus out of everyone, ranking 30th in opponent free throw rate last season—with the gap between Detroit and the no. 29 team (Washington) about as large as that between Washington and league average.
   It is the accepted cost of the Pistons’ identity, and at least they reap the benefits—tangible and not—that tilt the equation in their favor: forcing the most turnovers, ruling the glass, intimidating their opponents, and exacting a meaningful physical toll. It works on the other end, too: Detroit ranked fifth in free throw rate on offense.
   But that means lots of breaks and voluminous complaining to the officials, which knocked Detroit down at least four spots.
   A good chunk of Detroit’s fear factor—and the tingling possibility of a fight—left with Isaiah Stewart. (Ditto with its rim protection.) But Paul Reed is no shrinking violet, and he brings a funky offensive repertoire—soft flip shots, half hooks, the occasional malformed 3-pointer.
   With Ausar Thompson and Jalen Duren signed long-term, Detroit begins in earnest the journey of crafting a contender around two non-shooters—and a pick-and-roll conductor, Cade Cunningham, who could use more breathing space. Cunningham is the league’s closest facsimile of Luka Doncic—a burly, tall burrower who makes music in the dead of the paint with shoulder turns and eye fakes.
   Winning big with two core non-shooters is hard—no path for cowards. Teams in the past 15 years have made the Finals that way, but in almost every case at least two of the following three criteria were emphatically true—and often all three:

2. One of those non-shooters, if not both—think Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo—was the team’s on-ball fulcrum. The other was often his screening partner. Helping away from them was difficult, since they were on the ball;

3. The team featured one of the five best players in the NBA;

4. One of the non-shooters at least positioned himself as a shooter would, hanging in the corners or on the wing. (Think Derrick Jones Jr. or P.J. Tucker.)

Right now, Detroit is 0-for-3 but making progress on two items. Cunningham ranks somewhere in the back half of the league’s top 10 players. Duren is a fulcrum as a screen setter, but opponents took his paint game away in the playoffs. Some of that owed to Duren’s limitations, including an inability to exploit switches. Some was because Thompson lingered low, clogging the lane.
For this to work, both Thompson and Duren have to be more dangerous on the ball—Duren as a passing hub and face-up driver, Thompson as both screener and ball handler in the two-man game.
Detroit was right to pay both and give this a roll. Both are young, and improving. The trio of Cunningham, Duren, and Thompson soaks up “only” about 70 percent of the cap. The Pistons may not have room in the medium-term future—they took their last real free agency shot on Austin Reaves—but they still have flexibility. This is not a case of two players taking up 70 percent of the cap, or three accounting for 110 percent. Thompson’s deal should be tradable at plus value. The jury is out on Duren’s, but I’d bet on it being movable at neutral value. The Pistons still have all their picks and swaps.
Thompson teleports on defense, everywhere and nowhere at once. Duren dunks everything; the Pistons led the league in slams last season. He is getting meaner, cognizant of the pain he can inflict.
Ron Holland snags Stewart’s mantle as enforcer, and also might be playing for his future in Detroit. After wayward stops in Utah and with the Clippers, John Collins gets a chance to reassert himself as a winning role player—hitting 3s, rebounding, maybe playing some backup center.
The red-and-blue scheme is classic, and Detroit shows proper fealty to its simple words-on-ball logo—including in transposing the arcing edges of the ball on either sideline adjacent to the center circle.

That’s a chef’s kiss touch. More good Pistons art is coming.

He will end up being a good player. The national media will catch on half way through the year.

Want to know why? Cade Cunningham. I can't think of a player who didn't improve since Cade has led this team. So maybe this is a Cade Cunningham post lol.

Anyways, it feels good to be excited about Pistons basketball every season again.

I haven't seen this mentioned too much, but I think a big part of the let-down in Game 7 vs. the Cavs last year was due to lack of endurance. I think this gets lumped in with "experience," but I recall greats like Isiah and Joe talking about conditioning yourself to not just playing 82 games, but 90, 100 games and what a big difference those extra games made, especially for a young team. Last year's squad had never made it that far in the playoffs before and each game you tack on to the end of the 82 game regular season is exponentially harder than the previous one. I think we'll see a better conditioned, more experienced, and more focused team in the postseason this year who are collectively ready to take that next step to the Eastern Conference Finals.

I think I heard these games are going to be on channel 20. I have YouTube tv, and I guess they don't have it. I don't have an antenna right now. Do I need one you watch the pistons this year or is there some other way? I frankly wasn't worried about it until they resigned Duren, and now I think they'll be pretty good.

EDIT: play, thanks everyone. Did not realize there was another service that wants $20. Think I'll but a cheap antennae since I think channel 20 is pet easy to get that way.
