RESTORE THE (engine) ROAR!!!
The Cade Era begins tonight @8:30pm on ESPN2!! I’m curious to see how Killian and Cade play off each other. I’ve heard Garza has lost some weight, so I wanna see how he handles the faster pace. Livers is out until November but is still able to do light drills. Detroit Basketball!!!
I love the NBA!
Can't wait to watch Cade and the boys tonight
I agree and you get a greater appreciation of their skill and athleticism, when you are at the game.
I think part of the reason the NBA gets such a bad rap from “basketball fans” is honestly the players are almost too good. In high school you see one guy and you’re like “wow he is incredible” and he maybe turns out to just be a D2 player. College is full of those players you saw maybe one or two of at high school games, and then there will be maybe 1-2 of them on the court that really stand out. Then there is the NBA which are teams full of those 1 or 2 wow players you see in college all playing together and against each other.
How unbelievably good at basketball you have to be or unbelievably gifted physically (like being 7’) to be an NBA player can’t be understated.
Hope it doesn't get cancelled a la Wizards-Pacers.
I didn't know about this so thanks and +1 for the heads-up! Super excited to see him don the #2 Jersey in honor of Chuck Daily.
I like everything I have read about Cade. He seems like a great guy dedicated to hard work and winning.
Got a chance to watch quite a few of his games on Big Mondays and Super Tuesdays, he doesn’t force things but is able to take over…never thinking he would be a Piston!!!
I’m excited about the Pistons for the first time in a long long time
This is the best I've felt about the state of the franchise since... 2007?
Gotta be one of the most promising young cores in the NBA.
Not expecting much this year from them, but one more high draft pick may put this team on young 2007-09 OKC Thunder trajectory.
I've always found Garza to be annoying as the enemy, but I read an article, I believe in the Detroit News, about how he lost weight and knows he really needs to work on his mobility to play D in the NBA. I was pretty meh about them drafting him, but maybe he can play the 4 in the NBA?
Went from 272 after the tournament down to 240. Weaver may have gotten a steal.
He was at 272? He looked quite fleshy but wowzers.
Honestly, he'll never be an excellent NBA defender, but that doesn't matter.
Garza is the type of guy you bring off the bench, have him guard the other team's 2nd center so he won't have to work too hard on that end of the floor, and let him score.
I was ecstatic for this pick. You aren't just the best player in the Big Ten for no reason- I think he's going to be a great NBA player.

or ncaa player of the year
lol I didn't watch one game last year but will watch the first game of summer league.
One thing I can say about us Michiganders, we are loyal to our sports teams. The LCA will be rocking like the Palace in no time at all!
Well put sir, Comerica will soon be a hot ticket as well.
This Houston v Cleveland game has been pretty interesting. Josh Christopher plays for the Rockets. Kid doesn't lack confidence.
Both of these teams, especially Houston could be very good in a few years
You said Cade and I was thinking McNamara.
Exciting times for the Pistons!
Double post...what's the Pistons o/u for wins this season?
Thought this was about the Loins
Evan Mobley has looked like a turd so far
Jalen Green looked like a star
Was going to post the same thing. He did look the part for sure.
I’m surprised more of the top kids don’t go the G League route, even with NIL.
Whelp Cade can shoot
Sekou Doumbouya has played with so far
That’s our main Achilles heel, no consistent perimeter shooting…the main reason I think Livers will have a great shot at making the roster.
That looks to me like the biggest thing this team is missing. They get a shooter or two and they may very well make some noise before too long.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe the Pistons already signed Livers. I don’t know the terms of the deal, so it could just be a two-way contract, but since they’re operating under the cap he may have already signed a 3 year deal on the rookie minimum scale.
Luke Garza just checked in
I'm having a blast watching this summer team.
Garza is playing really well
Three first round draft picks got me to check the box score after every game last year. Now Cade and Garza have me watching summer league basketball. I gotta say it’s nice to be excited about the Pistons again.
Hell, I'm even seeing people buy Cade jerseys in Ohio!!

I saw restore the roar so I thought Lions -- then I wondered if maybe it was a car restoration post because of the weird insertion of "engine". Then I clicked it and you said the Cade era begins so I'm thinking McNamara, although that wouldn't make any sense. Absolutely no idea who Kilian is so at this point I'm totally lost. If you hadn't mentioned Livers I'm not entire sure I ever would have understood this post.
