Inspired question by @keifer002 : Who is your #1 pick on the Pistons in the “most likely to perform most shocking move you didn’t see coming in critical playoff moment” draft? The first suggestion was Ron Holland.

@KuKhahil He’s a better all around player than Duncan, a far better defender, while yes his shooting still isn’t there I don’t know that having Duncan as a sniper off the bench not giving up points as a starter is a net negative…

No matter the outcome of this game, I’m having a Kevin Huerter conversation after this game

@jamara23732 @KuKhahil Valid points, the issue is the lack of talent available if we let Ausar go. His defense isn’t just elite, it could reasonably be considered the best in the league on the wing. If we’re going to keep even 75% of that defense while adding range, we’d need to trade for an All-Star

I wanted to have an open conversation about Ausar Thompson. I believe that his evaluation from now until the end of the playoffs will be very important in determining his future with the team. Specifically, it will show whether he can develop any kind of offensive game or scoring threat to complement his superb defense. If there isn’t noticeable progress offensively, the team may have to consider making him available during the offseason as part of a larger trade package alongside players like Cade Cunningham and Jalen Duren. Right now, I can’t envision a scenario where you can justify paying Ausar top-tier money without meaningful improvements to his offensive game. While his defense is elite, it may not be enough on its own to warrant that type of contract. Ultimately, Trajan Langdon can’t justify paying Ausar based solely on defense. He will need to show some form of a consistent shot and develop into a legitimate three-point threat to justify the kind of contract he may be seeking. I’m interested in hearing honest opinions about this perspective

Watched the game, but been doing multiple things at once so I wasn’t active but quick thoughts before I go record pod: -Ausar first game back, was maybe the worst game I’ve seen him play in 2026. He’ll knock off the rust. -Pistons can’t lose the possession battle this badly and think they’ll win. -Raptors hunted out DR and TH in the fourth quarter, something we’re going to see in playoffs. -JB is searching for answers from his guard room off the bench, the sad truth we’ll probably have to accept is none of them are good enough or consistent enough to trust night to night. Tough loss.

@flo_cade This didn’t age well, eh?

Daniss Jenkins since he signed that contract: 5.6 PPG, 2.3 RPG, 1 APG in 18.1 MPG on 34% FG% and 11% 3PT%. Time to give Marcus Sasser some more run?

@Samborghinizz @seanhalfcourt @BenStiller When you’re making a statement, it only needs to be said once.

@seanhalfcourt @BenStiller One play

The very short time Sochan was on Cade seemed effective. With what was happening last night seems it would have been worth trying earlier.

Another look at this powerful left-handed slam 😤 What a night for Cade Cunningham!

Knicks 35-21. Thoughts. @PlayProphetX.

Knicks coaching staff- "GUARD PAUL REED!!” KAT -

i’m sorry but this is so fucking funny dudehfjskfhkdjd

James Van Der Beek, star of ‘Dawson’s Creek,’ died after a long battle with colorectal cancer. He was 48. This is a video he made telling people about his struggles and what cancer taught him. May he Rest in Peace 🕊️ .

This legit gonna be Bickerstaff before every playoff game

There’s something just so insanely satisfying about players doing this.

@IAmEricVincent This will be great for Stew’s knees, he’ll be nice and rested for demon mode 😈

7 is a lot lighter than I thought Stew would get. But that 7 game stretch (Raptors, Knicks, Bulls, Spurs, Thunder, Cavs, Magic) without him is gonna be tough #Pistons

Adam silver, choose your response wisely. You may think suspending Isaiah Stewart is the right decision, but I can assure you, it is not. All you will have accomplished is the creation of millions of Isiah Stewarts across the globe. We are all Isaiah Stewart.
