Incredible win considering how awful they looked to start

Saw they were getting blasted at one point. Beat a really good team.

Gobert not playing obviously made a huge difference, but it was still a good game. I enjoy seeing Cade and Saddiq play well together. Really hoping we're seeing the foundations of an actually good team starting here.

Bey and Cade played great

those 3 shoot like that and they will beat almost anybody. But that's the problem with a team that shoots so many threes with players that aren't elite three point shooters...you are going to be very inconsistent.

The Pistons are 13th in three point attempts per game but 29th in percentage. Not a good strategy

Casey's philosophy.

terrible philosophy when you have shitty 3 point shooters

I agree we lack a consistent good percentage from three. But it?s not like shooting the deep ball is going away. Why they drafted Hayes was stupid because he can?t shoot. Hopefully Cade and some other guys like Bey will get better at it.

I agree but when he came here he said he'd do exactly this. Just look at the time Blake Griffin was here, no way he should be shooting 6-7 3's a game.

for me...a good coach will coach his team based on the players that he has. If he wants to have a team that shoots 41 threes a game...get good shooters. Until then...do something different
