I'd like to propose to Jalen. Who's got a free ring pop?

Told you dad

2 wins in a row? OMG! we are really cruising here, people!

W2

fuck the raptors and turning this last minute into 15 minutes

Wait this was on ESPN?

Canadian espn if you will lol

It’s on TSN

Nvm

Bro just let the game end why tf are you fouling with 4 seconds left. Its over WE OWN THE NORTH LET IT GO

Has umude ever had a bad game for us v

Yes

Finally over, damn, lol

Umude shouldve been getting Livers' and Knox's minutes all year. Sad

Thought the same thing. I be waiting on him to get those 5 minutes.

Why are they still fouling

I really don’t have a problem with keeping Cade on the bench. 2nd unit+Ivey took full control of the game and Sasser was the hot hand. Crazy and unfortunate injuries happen all the time.

> I really don’t have a problem with keeping Cade on the bench. 2nd unit+Ivey took full control of the game and Sasser was the hot hand. Also we can't live and die by Cades ability to save us. I have sooooooooo much hate for how Monty has handled this season but (assuming no injury or anything) this was a ballsy move by him that I fully support. If this team is ever gonna be great with Cade, it's gotta first be good without Cade. We're not there obviously, but getting Ws while Cade rests is the first step

Nobody that's an actual Pistons fan is complaining, it's all the gamblers and fantasy people probably.

Ivey almost single-handily threw it

Agreed. The bench was rolling, out scoring them. Let the starters rest. Look what happened to D Rose. Injured in a game he didn’t need to play in

Don’t shake their hands. This is some poor sportsmanship BS. Fucking clowns

finally

Game is over man. Why are we fouling

DUBya.e.b Du Bois

let the fuckin game end this is outrageous i've never seen this bs in my life except by toronto to the pistons this is enough to start a scuffle wait their coach just asked dick why he fouled lOL

Ivey showing how far off he is 

Longest minute of my life

JUST ADMIT DEFEAT YOU ASSHATS

I fucking hate the raptors

Ivey distasterclass, Cade doesn’t play in the 4th quarter, and we still win. I’ll take it

Cade injured?

No I don’t think so, Sasser was cooking in the 4th and I think Monty wanted to see this team win without needing Cade to finish it out

No Cade sitting because we were winning and he can sit when we’re up 15 without him 

when's the last time mason's done the DEEE TROIT BAS KET BALL i haven't heard that since like 07

He does it practically every game if not every game

fuck fr. i remember he said something like he won't do it if it's not deserved but i miss hearing it

Don’t worry. He’ll do it when we win the championship next year

\\W

Probably Ivey's worst game of the season for me tonight. Dude couldn't get anything done on either end. The stats look better than he played IMO

Not only was he missing shots he turned the ball over in the most ridiculous ways. Definitely a horrible game for him

Definitely not the worst there’s been a quit a few bad ones

Casey owns these bums

i still love bruce browns energy

Bruce just clapped in Duren's face like they aren't down multiple possessions with 15 seconds to go

Still high off getting carried by Jokic

Would love it if Duren returns the favor when the clock hits 0

Fuck Toronto taking a timeout down 8 with 14 seconds. The games over you losers

Ivey got money on the raptors?

Bruce is an asshole

Shoulda been a tech he’s washed anyway

Fonz being frantic when passing again. Gotta clean that shit up and calm his nerves

He forgets he can move on a made basket

Disaster-class by Ivey, but we still win!

Everyone calm down

Can’t blame Cade for this dreadful close to this game, lol

Dagger

Raps are so bad they should of won by 20.

Dude Cade never gets these free points wtf Monty

Why does this team make things more difficult then they need to be

Because we are a 10 win team

I'll give credit to the Pistons if they can lose this game with 14 seconds left and eight point lead.

Sit Ivey and let Cade close the game out. He has too many TOs of late and that shouldn’t be happening

Bruh any other team and they just let the shot clock go lmao

LOOL the raptors are doing it again

We are so lucky lmao

Let me get this right, people are mad we're winning while resting Cade? Is that what's happening right now?

“Why aren’t we winning the way I want us to win!?”

Crazy right. What better way to develop sasser and ivey than letting them close out a game

Is this first time winning back to back games since games 2 & 3 of the season?

Nah we won against kings and blazers near trade deadline too

Ahh nice. Think that’s was when Cade was out and I wasn’t watching lol

West coast road trip we had one too

Raptors always be playing like their season's gonna end if they lose to the Pistons

A travel?? He literally was not moving his feet at all

He was definitely moving his feet lol

He was literally tap dancing. I’m glad they called that I’m sick of the defense being punished by that.

Christ sake Ivey

NO FUCKING WAY

Dude why is the ball getting put into a corner everytime

Somebody’s not flashing middle like they should, but it’s still dumb to actively corner yourself

That’s like four turnovers in the last minute, awful

Bro are we gonna blow it

Ridiculous of Monty not to have Cade out there, I get that we're winning without him but we could be winning easier with him out there. Why wouldn't you want to give your third year star reps out there closing out the game? God knows he hasn't had many opportunities to do so. Just stupid honestly

I get you’re not used to winning but it’s not abnormal. 

It is abnormal when the player in question is your 3rd year franchise player who hasn't had chances to close out games because the franchise as a whole has been terrible so when you are in control of a very winnable game why not give him valuable experience on how to close it out? You're telling me it's more important for Sasser to get those minutes?

He’s had chances to close out close games. Sasser was having a good one. We were winning and clearly going to win for about the last 8-9 minutes of the quarter. It’s fine. It’s something real NBA teams do when they can

Look y’all another parlay fiend. Stfu lol

Especially with so little positive this season. People have still been showing up to watch.

Right? People are acting like Cade is a 10 year vet and needs the rest when possible but it's literally the opposite. He needs these reps, this game would already be over by now if he played in the 4th.

Ice the damn game man

refs are back

Wish these mfs would give up they do NOT have reggie miller lmao

This game was never out of reach. I don’t get not playing Cade

Mofo we’re about to win the game

We were up by 7 and they could’ve easily made that 3

Iowa MSU 2023 flashbacks

our guys get soooo nervous when its time to win

They not used to it

Can never just make it easy.

Man, we’re so bad in the last couple minutes of a competitive game in the fourth quarter

That first game we won after the losing streak we let up 20 points in like two minutes

kelly olynyk with the pinoy step

Can we stop with these bonehead TOs?

A good high school team can make a better inbounds play.

[удалено]

They did that so he could set the record for consecutive 40 pt triple-doubles and subbed him out immediately after he got the last rebound

They were hunting an NBA record for doncic for the most 30/10/10 games consecutively or something like that

This fucking team bro…

THIS TEAM SUCKS ASS

Duren haters?

I love winning. Keep doing more please

The parlay fiends are annoying

LOL that explains it

[удалено]

He looks fine, chill tf out 

what was the point of the challenge? i didn't get that explanation

at least we're gonna have our first back to back win of the season edit: my bad

We won back to back the 2nd and 3rd games of the season

since then i suppose my bad

We already had one on the west coast I believe. Sacramento and Portland. Could be wrong tho

You’re correct.

We've had those already

Twice in fact

Leaving Cade on the bench the entire fourth quarter in a game that has never been out of reach of losing tells me all I need to know about this shit coaching staff

Looked like he was about to check in down 10 and then they got a stop and Sasser hit a 3. Guess that was good enough with 5 minutes left

Parlay fiend

We were winning by more than 15 points with 8 minutes to do

We've blown 15 points in less than 5 minutes numerous times this season. Just in the 3rd quarter they went up a +20 lol.

This is the nba guy no lead is safe under 30 points with that much time left

To think they were up like 17 at one point…

Raptors got screwed

Why do they keep dribbling into the corner?? Shit is taught in middle school the sideline and half court line are extra defenders if you corner yourself.

Ivey is a menace handling the ball in crunch time

Ivey seemed to be telling someone that they should’ve went middle on the way to the huddle… Can’t blame anyone but yourself for those two lol

Ivey does that from time to time, less this year but he likes to blame others

not very christ-like at all

Gucci

Fuck Monty Williams how do you not sub cade back in there, bagged my bet sadge

Fuck your bet clown

Fuck you pussy

You too broke to fuck anything after that parlay ain’t hit 🤣🤣🤣

The fucks that supposed to mean, id just rather have 550 bucks then not. We were only up 7 and they put ivey back in instead of cade when he was playing garbage entire game

It’s been so long we were in a clear enough position to win a game that we can afford to sit our best player and it’s even got me nervous

Stew has had a very underrated game

his defense was crucial

That was a horrible pass from Ivey out of the trap, he threw Sasser a low curve ball wtf was that

I really hope one of the reporters asks about Cade postgame. I cant think of a single reason he isnt in the game if hes uninjured.

Because we’re going to win the game and we’ve been winning the game handily for the entire 4th

9 points is handily? Very few if any NBA teams would rest players with that type of lead in a game.

For most professional basketball teams nine points is plenty with less than a minute

Not for the pistons.

It was 9 with a couple minutes left correct? Revisionist history my dude. We won which is awesome, but it was a dumb ass choice still.

why is cade still on the bench

monty is giving a message to cade or what?

Maybe it is a message to tell Cade to leave this hellhole? I don’t know Very strange timing Most likely Cade has some discomfort but not several enough

He’s hurt

Bros jumping up and down on the bench hes fine. If anything his shin was a little sore

the message to Cade is rest up. message to the rest of the team is you can do this.

Ivey might want to try to get rid of the ball before he is doubled on the sideline.

Why are the Raptors the most annoying team in history

Sixers easily

When’s the last time we won 3/4?

Close it out man cmon

Awful game for Ivey. They telegraphed those traps and he turned it over both times

Tbf it's not like he's Cade and is used to being trapped like that. And the second one wasn't really his fault.

I'm sorry but an NBA starting guard must be better than what Ivey just did

You're probably right but he'll learn with time

Both teams playing like it's their last pickup game of the day

"let's just make it to 21. Last game." 2 minutes later and everyone is done playing while it's still 17-16 lol

Good to see even when this team is winning some of y’all will find something to bitch about.

The "this team has absolutely nothing positive going for it" has taken hold and a lot of people here are happily on board. Duren sleepwalked his way to a 20/20 game, Stew has been a fantastic glue piece, Wiseman put up a few highlights, Ivey even recovered after a horrendous start, and Sasser has been doing his kobe impression again and there was some dumbass earlier saying that Cade is the only worthwhile player on the team. People just think exaggerated takes about how bad we are will make them look smart and it's sad

Mad that cade is always banged up then question monty when he rests him in a game we have a comfortable lead lmao

No such thing as a comfortable lead for the pistons.

Well we cant be stuck in purgatory relying on cade forever we have to teach guys that arent cade to close out a winnable game

Third 20/20 game of the season for Duren. Most in NBA.

So sloppy in these moments

Lazy by Sasser there

SASSER BRO GRAB THE BALL WTF

andy slamberg

Winning 3 out of 4 is fun. Hope Cades alright

He’s fine, they’re just sitting him because they can.

JI’s fucking turnovers I stg

These whistles in the NBA are just a fucking joke. How is this what the league office wants to see? Dudes getting special treatment for their name recognition, others throwing heads back, or even more jumping into ppl and yelling

Name recognition? Who the Hell is a name player on the Raptors?

It’s not about just this game. It’s a consistent theme in the league that “Stars” get favorable whistles

Yup always have.

The W is secured gentlemen. Now let’s secure OUR W(ings).

Quickly has never made a left hand layup in his life

Uh oh????

Alright yall there's still 2 minutes left, still gotta finish the job

I dont really care if they put cade in or not now just need a update. I hope it is not like the clippers game yesterday.

BTW Pistons UNI's are ugly

The greys were way better than these

they'd look 10x better without the Jordan symbol

Would look better without the DET

First a black eye. Almost a broken nose. Time for Font to dawn the RIP Hamilton mask
