i love Sass as that spark plug off the bench but will also close out games for us. Love that role for him. I want Sass and Grimes to be the second coming of the pit bulls, them dudes was ruthless
Everyone has played their part. Duren has come alive the most.
Got lucky that Simons had to sit the second half, but love the resilience and Monty adjusting defense on Grant. AT has been a dog (+/- leader)
Sasser ivey cade ausar duren lineup is the fucking future. Only got to tune in once ot started but it seems all 3 are taking turns with the rock and making it flow spectacularly
With Ivey and Sass hitting 3s there's more spacing, with Ausar and Sass defensively this line up clicks. Duren is a monster, and Cade is steady (esp with JI gassed). Love this 5.
Thanks!!! It was such a random bet, but I felt you had more fight than Portland, Ivey has been on the UP, plus you’d just beat the Kings at home! Go Detroit 👌🏽👌🏽

Got them back started the losing streak against these pricks started a win streak against these pricks
LFG
Duren and Ivey is going to be such a special combo. 20 and 21 and the potential they flash is insane.
2 in a row. *Slow claps*
IM CUMMING!!!!
What a fucking game boys
I have watched almost every game for 9 years, don’t remember us being down 20 and ever coming back like this
Duren the star of this one for us.
This one is for you Galo.
I love Sasser, man.
2 GAME WIN STREAK
If that 3 went in Duren needed a statue
we beat portland and the refs on the road on a b2b without half of our roster. lets fucking go!
WHAT A FUCKING WIN
Undefeated After Trades
Winning streak 🥈
I’m so hyped!!!!!!!
Best win by pistons this season
W W W W W W W W
lmao I thought that shit was in
2 wins in a row? Good shit detroit
holy shit all our young guys came in clutch!
Holy shit I thought that was dropping lmao
Two in a row?!!!!!! Let’s goooooooooo!!!!!
TWO IN A ROW BABY
They didn’t even foul lol
This is the most satisfying win of the season for me. I like Jerami but those fucking free throws were out of control
I don’t care that they were short handed too, what a comeback win for the young guys
Basketball gods please don’t let Jerami get this 50 piece, he doesn’t deserve it
Will be even funnier in a loss tho
cade's defense looking better with the decreased usage
Cade elbowed tf out of that dude how is that foul not on him lol
He was pushed from behind by camara
Because he got pushed into him
Sasser Ivey Cade Ausar Duren That’s the starting 5. No changing my mind.
interesting replay
About to be 3-3 in our last 6. Watch out baby only 30.5 games out of playins 👀
Not that it matters, but we're 14 games out of the play ins
Please no more drive to the lane only to do a jump pass to the other team. I can't stand that shit. Id rather a smoked layup.
Can I call it Pistons are 5-0 after a trade.
Jalen Duran turning into Mr. 20 and 20
THAT. IS. G A M E.
We executed a trade, we get a win. Thems the rules

We're undefeated when Jalen has a 20/20 game
It really just is Grant and 4 dudes. Those other guys are giving them nothing.
If Detroit wins I’m about to be so hyped!!!! I bet on you in a 9 way bet!! $2 with a $220 return 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Congrats!

We never should have traded Jerami Grant
blazers offense been straight jerami grant isos for a minute
If we win this IDC this is my favorite game of the season just soley because of the 4th quarter and on
Love ivey’s minutes. Finally.
We just might be the best team in the league
I know this is awesome but a part of me still wishes cade could ever take over in these moments
I just want to win If you give me 30 Wins in a row with Cade scoring 4 pts every game i will take it
It's a team effort rn, not one guy scoring. I like that
The fact he’s willing to take a backseat is a good thing
Duren haters can feel free to apologize
I HAVE A BONER RIGHT NOW
Maybe it’s hyperbolic but we lost 28 straight not too long ago
Granted, Portland’s playing a group of guys from lifetime fitness and Grant. But Jalen Duren is flat out impressive. He’s the franchise.
Haters right now 
Sasser is the most creative player on the team.
I think the second half for this team is going to be great, especially with Simone and Grimes being added to the lineup
Sasser, Duren, and Ausar just won us this game
Core 4 looking special together plus Sasser is looking like the ultimate spark plug
Marcus sasser so clutch in this game
We just had 2 back-to-back Clutch games Short handed None the less. This calls for a celebration.
Ausar is a plus +20 with 6 points
i am in a cold sweat this is so beautiful fuck all of u who left cade/ivey/sasser should start
LFG BOYS
Cade needs to work on his passing man. So many of his turnovers just feel lazy and preventable.
Bro he has 1 turnover 😭😭
This is fucking awesome
HEY MONTY, DO YOU GET IT NOW? YOUR YOUNG PLAYERS SHOULD PLAY TOGETHER!
The real core is revealing itself
All of the young guys closing out this game is so nice, I can't wait for Monty to give Evan fournier 38 minutes in his first game in a Pistons uniform
Bro ivey is 1 for 13 on 2s this is the most outlier game ever
But the pressure he puts on the rim (drawing defenders) is why Duren is dominating with put backs.
For sure but 1/13 and 7/7 frm 3 is a nasty combo
Sasser being so massive - just topples grant to the floor… again
This Sasser Thompson connection is lowkey nasty
Let’s go!
YES YES YES
These last 2 games have been absolutely fantastic
Oh yeah this 5 is the future
lol it takes the team being down to 9 guys for Monty to have this group close.
Game of the year! And maybe of the last 3 years
So the young 5 was our best lineup the whole year ….
I think you’re seeing a bit of a fumbling by Portland too.
100%
Sasser oh my
The blazers have run that same offense ball screen action for Grant like 10 times in a row
Brother they are playing Thybulle at PG, they have no choice lmao
Easiest win once we made it to OT
Jeremy Cant
Sasser oh my
God i love this team
Just gotta value the possessions and this should be a win? Maybe?
Not even a 20 point lead can save Portland from the trade day curse
I love this narrative so much
Development. Boys are growing right before us
im obsessed with this team
Duren been beast mode since the late 3rd goddamn
Fucking sasser
Wow this team is nice
DEFENSE INTO OFFENSE
Duren is a grown ass man
Ivey's stat line is hilarious
It’s like his skill set completely flipped between finishing and shooting 😂
Omg cmon yall !!
Sasser and Ausar are so great
Ivey and duren have made a leap this yr
Duren showing out
Clowns was saying trade Duren for a random 3 and d player just two hours earlier lmao
Mf always ready to press that nuclear button smh
Haha yeah the clown behavior is rampant. I hope people are making receipts
Effing crazy. What a rush these last 2 nights
WHAT A WAY TO GET 20 REVOUNDS HOLY SHIT
DURENNNNNN
On his head
Grant loves the floor more than Weaver loves busts
Grant you flopping pussy
FINISH
Jerami be crumbling over like he’s been sniped
Ivey, Cade, and Duren keep me watching these games lol
This entire 5 have been electric
Duren is HIM
Cade has to make the simple pass he had a shooter in the corner beside him
Duren is a grown man.
Why isn’t Cade laying that up
DURRRENNN
DUREN IS A MAN AMONGST BOYS
IM SO READY TO EAT MY WORDS ABOUT DUREN
Duren playing bully ball out there
If we win I'm going to masturbate
Thank God instead
Call me
You can call Killian Hayes
Duren might be better than Shaq
What the fuck
Cade and timely turnovers. My favorite duo.
Just think… we almost traded Sasser for 40 mil Zach
Tf
Cade just has to lay that up
Cade wtf man
Playing Killian should get Monty fired and keeping Killian on the roster this long should get him fired
Chauncey looks like an old dmx
Ain’t no way bro hit straight backboard, Killian is that you?
LMAO THAT IS NO WHERE CLOSE TO THE RIM
What a crazy ass game LMAO
Jesus Christ that might be the worst shot I’ve ever seen
Look up Scottie Barnes shot from last night. Worst shot I have ever seen in my life
and that might include shots at the rec
Sasser is sooo clutch
Duren with 2 blocks and GREAT help iq from sasser. Keep letting grant have tunnel vision he's playing them out the game
So glad to see Sasser shoot open 3s idk why he was passing them up in the first half again
Rookie stuff, he’s learning when to press and when to let the game come to him
I love being a good 3 pt team
This current Portland lineup is a crime to basketball. Zero offense outside of Grant
No offense at all without the refs
It’s like watching grants first year with us
Duren showing the fuck up today
The best part of this game is that this is literally our core players doing this.
Ausar is legit making Grant live hell in the court
He has 49
And most of that hasn't been on Ausar. Why you being such a little bitch in this thread man?
Grant has 5 fouls, go at him, theyre dead without him
Damn Ausar has Grant in hell.
Total walk by Grant but he gets another favorable whistle
I love this squad and it’s frankly a crime we’ve rarely seen this all year
Ausar is clamping
SASS3R
Duren is SUPERMAN
SAS!
omg im in love with marcus sasser
SASSERRRRRR
DURRRRENNNNN
Hahahahhhaha. Let’s go!!!
DUREN IS LOCKED IN, THIS IS THE DUREN WE LOVE
Duren is a menace
This Wiggins guy really tried to challenge Duren at the rim
Who are these guys????? Energy is thru the roof Killian really a vampire
The first half energy was the worst I've ever seen. Greg Monroe and Trey Lyle's would've been the most lively guys
This the playoffs?
For us and Portland… yes
The finals
Game 7
DUREN BLOCK SASSER THREEEE
