Add 'All-Defensive First Team' to Ausar Thompson's resume ✅

@KuKhahil It was… an interesting listen. Had to practice a lot of patience

Pistons would want Tobias back on the MLE, but the concern from what I’ve been told is that absolutely will not be enough to bring him back.

I’m listening to the Game Theory podcast and I promise you if the Pistons were to trade Ausar Thompson and then pay Jalen Duren I think they’d lose 90% of the fanbase

@NBA__Courtside Everyone is entitled to their own opinion…. Except this bozo

Paul Pierce says Cade Cunningham and Daniss Jenkins is the only two players Pistons should keep: “The rest of them I’m exploring trade options. I’m exploring that… Look at the roster, this roster has no upside. Unless Ausar comes back and he’s shooting threes like Klay Thompson. All right, cool that’s not going to happen.” (Via @NFGShow)

@KuKhahil It’s a gross circle People have seats, and try to make a buck by selling them at game 7 prices The average fan can’t afford them because of the prices Billionaire swoops in and goes all in on the resale market

Is Dan Gilbert having these seats reserved for him because he’s from Michigan and has relationships, or is he just buying up all these tickets before Pistons fans can

James Harden flopped ALL OVER THE FLOOR and Dean Wade slipped on the same spot 10 seconds later 💀

Jarrett Allen TRIPS Ausar Thompson RIGHT IN FRONT of Tony Brothers... no call 🤔

@KuKhahil I’m here at the arena - it looks like he’s acting quicker than his mind can process it. He is very riled up right now. Not sure why

Ausar has turned the ball over 4 times. He’s over-helped and given up open threes. This is the first playoff game where I’ve ever watched Ausar play and thought “he’s rattled”.

@KuKhahil This reminded me of that Dallas game early on in the season

Ausar was having a great game, and now he’s gonna be done until 2H with 3 fouls. First game this postseason he’s dealt with foul trouble.

@PistonsThoughts I almost fell and went splat on the court I was jumping so much

I don’t think anyone at home understands the volume level this place hit after the Ausar buzzer beater that didn’t count

When they waived it off I almost jumped

@FrediThePizzamn Absolutely!!

Asuar Thompson is a stud! We all know that though

@KuKhahil Say it, and say it LOUD bro

The amount of credit I'm about to give JB tonight for making Ausar a big part of the offense as a DHO/ball-handler/initiator the last 3 games. I've asked for it all year, but he's finally doing it and it's leading to the Pistons getting some incredible offense.

Whatupdoe, Amen! @HoustonRockets

@KuKhahil @KoreaPistonsFan The little horn got me dying bro😂😂😂

Perhaps the greatest intro in Locked On Podcast history, if you ask me. I'm a man of my word🫡

@Fissionprime @seanhalfcourt I can’t listen to a single basketball take by these guys. Whenever I see a clip I know it’s going to be cinema

@seanhalfcourt Listening to 97.1 talk about the pistons (or basketball in general) is basically like getting waterboarded.

Even for Valenti, this is nonsense

@Tony_Pesta Scottie was great, but Ausar was a better defender that round (and overall)

I know Ausar Thompson is a great defender, but he'll have huge shoes to fill after what Scottie Barnes did in R1 Seriously, that was one of the most impactful defensive performances I can remember. His motor was insane, and he made virtually zero mistakes

“Nobody can say sh*t to me about Tobias Harris.” — Coach JB Bickerstaff giving Tobias Harris his respect. ✊ (h/t @NBA__Courtside)

@MobHoops 14ppg and you have a perennial all star. I see it happening

Ausars value is unreal and it’s sad he rarely gets the credit he deserves

@BradeauxNBA What do you think Tari will be priced at? I know a lot of teams (including my Pistons) would love a player like him. Curious what you think his extension would look like from Houston

My predictions for the Rockets offseason: • Udoka/Stone won’t be fired • Young Core of Şengün, Amen, Jabari, Reed return • Eason (depending on price) returns • FVV comes back • Adams (TBD, I’m not sure) • Everyone else is gone So… Not a ton of change 🤷‍♂️

@feelslikefiNESS Go back and rewatch it
