All it takes is one viewing of this video to come to the same conclusion that I have just come to: Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has better lob-chemistry with Andre Drummond than Reggie Jackson does. It doesn’t even matter that Jackson had two lobs to Drummond; Caldwell-Pope had THREE. That’s one more, and that’s all I need…

Tobias Harris 28 Points Full Highlights (3/11/2017)
Since 28 points seemed like a lot for Tobias “Tobey Bear” Harris, I had to look up what his career high was. Yes, it is shameful that I don’t know off the top of my head. I know that. I thought about pretending for the purposes of this description that I have categorical knowledge of…
Read MoreStanley Johnson 17 Points Full Highlights (3/8/2017)
This is what happens when fringe teams go hard for the playoffs: their young talent rots away in the name of “wins”. The Pistons have a bunch of dudes who should probably get playing time (I’m actually mainly thinking of Henry Ellenson here), but don’t, because SVG desires nothing more than the 8th seed and…
Read MoreKentavious Caldwell-Pope 26 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2017)
Priority number one for Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: consistency! He’s been consistently inconsistent for most of his time on the Pistons (the exception being when he was just bad all the time his rookie year). Even this year, he has had great scoring games directly adjacent to low single-digit scoring games. He followed up his 38 point…
Read MoreJon Leuer 22 Points Full Highlights (3/1/2017)
Jon Leuer attemped 23 field goals tonight, by far a career high. I don’t know what got into him. He was being guarded by short dudes way too much, which probably factored into his mindless (by his standards, not by Brandon Jennings standards) chucking. Also, his teammates were all sucking. One of the cardinal rules…
Read MoreMarcus Morris Career High 37 Points Full Highlights (2/28/2017)
Once again, this sick scoring performance by Marcus Morris doesn’t even feel THAT sick. Objectively, I know it’s a sick performance. A career-highs for a role-player is sick. 37 points for a role-player is sick. That’s all there is to it. If a 37-point game by a player wasn’t sick, it would mean that player…
Read MoreTobias Harris 25 Points Full Highlights (2/23/2017)
When the Pistons were rumored to be interested in a Reggie Jackson/Jeff Green swap with the Magic, I immediately thought to myself, “Why would the Pistons want to ruin Tobias Harris’ career MORE THAN THEY ALREADY HAVE by trading for another small forward?” They must have decided that the benefit of getting rid of team…
Read MoreKentavious Caldwell-Pope 33 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (2/23/2017)
What the heck? I’m looking at the Pistons roster right now. As I type these words. I’m looking at it, and I’m wondering why the heck there aren’t any changes to it? Where are the new names? Why are all the old names still there? It’s not like the Pistons have a championship core right…
Read MoreMarcus Morris 26 Points Full Highlights (2/13/2017)
I watched this whole game, and it certainly didn’t FEEL as if Marcus Morris scored 26 points. That’s more than Greg Monroe scored, and I definitely noticed him beasting the whole time. Morris is just one of those players who puts up stats but never really dominates the game. He asserts himself, sometimes, but it’s…
Read MoreTobias Harris 24 Points Full Highlights (2/12/2017)
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: the Detroit Pistons need an Alpha Wolf. ALPHA. WOLF. The scoring-by-committee stuff is cool, but this isn’t 2004. They’ve got the lowest-scoring team-leading-scorer of any team in the league (Does that make sense? I suck at words). Tobias Harris is leading the team at a little over…
