@suum24 Complete misunderstanding of what this team needs to take the next steps. Definition of rearranging deck chairs

Anytime that I see news about Kevin O’Leary

[Brett Usher @UsherNBA]

considering their roster – a good one, but certainly not a 60-win group on paper – and that their three best players are still only 24, 23, and 22, it's safe to say the Pistons overachieved in the regular season. and that's exactly what you want! but it set a high bar, so their overall showing in the Playoffs felt underwhelming, and Sunday's G7 blowout loss was a major disappointment, even though most would agree the Cavs were the far more talented team. but if you zoom out and look at the big picture, this Pistons season – top seed in the East and one win away from the Conference Finals – was absolutely a success. they weren't supposed to be this good this soon, and while we can all agree they're missing a piece or two – namely another reliable scorer – they've got something special in the 313.

@Alex_Drain @CoachPapaJohn This is exactly correct and people will realize it with a little distance from this game

[Alex Drain @Alex_Drain]

@CoachPapaJohn If you told me preseason the Pistons would win 50+ games, beat Orlando R1, and lose to Cleveland in 7 in R2 I would’ve been pretty ecstatic about that idea. Pistons fan discourse came into the year bearish on the team after the Beasley saga/Caris signing lol

[Alex Drain @Alex_Drain]

There will be a lot of hyperbole about this game but I think it looks like a team/roster that has just sort of hit its ceiling

[CM @cmpunk69420]

@WorldWideWob Successful season. Gotta lose like this before you can push further

@tinylittlehomie Allah willing brother

@tinylittlehomie @extramicrowave What the hell man

This game 7 won’t hit the same if you never saw Austin Daye’s potential. It won’t hit the same if you never scouted Khyri Thomas on YouTube. It won’t hit the same if you never seen a terrible Frank Jackson fit on the Pistons twitter account #DetroitBasketball

They dont realise they sittin in class with a future superstar

[Paul Reed @Bball_paul]

I don't like james harden no more

[Rob Perez @WorldWideWob]

Oh my. The wet spot left behind by Harden was either not cleaned and/or improperly so. Dean Wade wipes out seconds later and the Pistons get a crucial wide open layup as a result.

[Paul Reed @Bball_paul]

911 i need your help. whats the problem. 2 girls fitin ova me. whats the problem. the ugly 1 winin

[CM @cmpunk69420]

@parkingwing @nick__xo I don’t think the heat ever trade bam so it’s all moot anyways

[CM @cmpunk69420]

@parkingwing @nick__xo Going nowhere with their core as is. Duren is 22 and has upside. Let’s them pivot into a bit of a rebuild with the pistons draft capital and the pistons contend right away

[CM @cmpunk69420]

@DETcross21 Duren+ picks for both please and thank you
