Detroit Pistons 1st Round Picks: • 2015… Stanley Johnson • 2016… Henry Ellenson • 2017… Luke Kennard • 2018… No Pick • 2019… Sekou Doumbouya • 2020… Killian Hayes • 2021… Cade Cunningham All it takes is 1.

"I don't think the Pistons are frauds. The biggest fraud is the Orlando Magic. ... Detroit should have a guy like Devin Booker." 👀 Boogie Cousins says expecting 45 PTS from Cade Cunningham is not sustainable 🗣️ @MichelleDBeadle | @boogiecousins | @ChandlerParsons | @TeamLou23

Pistons Opinion: This could come across as a massive cope, but stick with me here. In a strange way, I actually think losing this series to Orlando will help Detroit in their long-term plans to become a real championship contender. Allow me to explain. The Pistons won 60 games, but they very clearly have both a 3-point shooting issue and a secondary shot creator issue. Neither Duren nor Tobias is a real #2 option on a true championship-level team. I can imagine a hypothetical world where, if Detroit had won this series and played competitively against the winner of CLE/TOR, the front office might have stayed the course and simply trusted the process. Because of this losing series, I’m much more confident we’ll see Detroit swing a big trade. Orlando is up in this series in large part because Desmond Bane came to town. Detroit needs to make a similar move to relieve Cade of his ridiculous usage rate, which isn’t sustainable long-term. I’m sad today as a Pistons fan, but I’d rather be sad over playoff losses than ever be 14-68 again. Bright days ahead. Still love my team despite being on upset watch. #DetroitBasketball

I know who can solve the Detroit Pistons scoring problem next season…

Correct.

I think it’s zero Jalen duren in the 4th, go small, play good D, run in transition. It’s so obvious Stewart is better player on floor!!!

@NUCLRGOLF @TrackingRory Daddy does what he wants

🚨👀❌ #SITTING OUT — Rory McIlroy has elected to skip next week’s Cadillac Championship at Trump Doral, marking the 2nd consecutive $20M Signature event that the reigning Masters Champion has opted to skip. Thoughts on the move from Rory?

We've got a dancer in the house 🕺

The seat attendant lowkey the most exciting part of the Magic and Pistons game 😭

Ausar Thompson is the second best player on the Pistons, I do not give a fuck about how many points he averages I swear to god

🚨🟢📺 JUST IN — CBS Sports announces viewership of 13.99M for Sunday’s final round of The Masters. It’s the highest figure in 11 years and the audience peaked at 20M. (Via @JoshACarpenter)

Rory’s quote after his loss at Los Angeles Country Club feels even more prescient today: “I would go through 100 Sundays like this to get my hands on another major championship.” He walked through the trials, didn’t let them defeat him and now he’s being rewarded in spades.

I've never done drugs but I doubt they reach the high Rory delivers

"I thought it was so difficult to win last year because of trying to win the Masters AND the Grand Slam..." "This year I realized it's just really difficult to win the Masters." - Rory McIlroy 🤣

don’t think it happens anymore but if they somehow get haralson it’ll be a great off season

Hey everyone, my dog tofu had to have emergency surgery and is currently in recovery. The vet bill has gotten out of control. Anything helps gofund.me/ee7a2e618

Free throws attempted tonight: SGA: 25 Detroit Pistons: 23

@stoolpresidente Doesn’t show his wager for a reason SMH. Doesn’t believe in it

My 2nd disrespect bet of the tournament. I am taking TCU moneyline because of the way Ohio State and their President disrespected the entire conference with extramarital affairs. Disgusting. I’m 1-0 in disrespect bets so far. #dkpartner

Ohio State’s all-time scoring leader: Bruce Thornton 🥲
