The Pistons really soiled themselves against the Bucks and the Celtics. But it’s not all bad… even though the beginning of this podcast starts that way. Blake and Wes break down the simple thing the Bucks did to generate all those wide open threes, and how the Celtics immediately followed suit. But as a silver lining, they also explain why this could be a vital learning experience for these young Pistons. The guys discuss what’s going wrong with Jalen Duren on defense and why Ron Holland’s potential is so exciting. Finally, they explore all options on the table for JB Bickerstaff with the starting lineup, how the season’s goals might change the decision, and Wes explains why he still wouldn’t want to change the rotation.

On a morning episode of The Pindown, Blake and Wes dive into the past two weeks over some caffeinated morning beverages. They discuss what has been so impressive about the pairing of Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey, and why the strides both have made defensively say more about JB Bickerstaff than either player. They also break down Jalen Duren’s defense, contrasted with what we’ve seen from Isaiah Stewart on that end. At the end of it all, the guys take a positive outlook on the season: why these games have been valuable tape, what we’re learning and why that horrible Knicks game was just a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day rather than a trend.
