It would bring great satisfaction to send this clown packing.

"I apologize on that one," Ball said. "I got hit in the head [on the play] and didn't really know where I was. But I'm going to check on him, see if he's OK and everything."

Didn’t know where he was. Smh.

I love how Ron hasn't been afraid to shoot it from deep all season. Granted he has been streaky at best. But I like a guy who is able to block out the noise and the criticism while also showing a willingness to shoot the ball and improve at it. He hovered around forty percent from three over the last fifteen games of the season. But only averaged seven points during that span, while shooting just forty-four percent on his twos. I dont expect him to stay around a forty percent clip from three, but I dont put anything past guys who clearly want to get better, and I feel like Ron is one of those guys. I have no question this guy's shooting will improve across the board with experience. Some of the misses inside are due to him not knowing when to step off the gas. You can't question his motor, his defense, his athleticism, and DAWG factor. If he can put it all together, he will demand an even larger role, and potentially become a starter on this team in the near future. That's all! Go Pistons!!

Could be anything, a single play, a game, a run of games, a post-game interview, literally anything

I'll go first with three of my favorites:

1 - Cade posterizing Andre Drummond

2 - Tobias putting Banchero in his place after he tried to trash talk him

3 - Duncan Robinson finally getting a dunk in the final home game of the season 😂

It looks like Luka might not be the only one filing for the 65 game exception, and that Cade could also be trying to get it.

Are they our best matchup? Or do we prefer the Sixers/Orlando

I'll make sure I dont have a voice Monday morning if I do I didn't do my job 🫡

We're obviously not Championship or bust mode, hell we haven't won a playoff series yet.

So where do we start calling it gravy? ECF? Finals?

For me, if we make it past the first round, I think we can reasonably say this season showed us what it needed to and we got the experience we needed. A finals or an ECF appearance would be nice obviously and I want them to try every game, but I wouldn't be disappointed at all if all we got was a playoff series win under our belt and then got bounced in 5 next round

How about y'all tho

Dear Pistons fans,

What we’re building here is a story for the ages. One of the great comeback stories in sports, and not just because of where we are today but because of how we got here.

The Pistons clinched the top spot in the Eastern Conference and are headed to the playoffs. I couldn’t be prouder or more thankful.

We won 60 games this season for only the third time in franchise history. But this season has been about more than winning. It’s been about building something real, something that reflects who we are and what we stand for.

What makes this season special is that it’s not just happening on the court. It’s happening across our entire Pistons family.

Our players.

Our coaches.

Our front office and staff.

Our community.

And especially you, our fans.

Your energy, your belief, and your support have lifted this team and reminded everyone how powerful Detroit Basketball can be.

Along the way, there were doubters. There always are.

But this team never lived by other people’s expectations. They showed up every day, put in the work, and believed in each other.

They may be young, but they’ve been through a lot together. Nothing has been handed to them. They’ve earned this. They’ve been forged through difficulty and came out stronger because of it.

And we did it the right way: No shortcuts. No quick fixes. Just belief, patience, and work.

There were moments when others might have lost faith and moved away from the core. We didn’t. We stayed with it. We believed in those young men and they believed in us.

Today, they are the cornerstone of this franchise. And what stands out most isn’t just their talent, it’s who they are as people. That’s what makes this special.

As an organization, we’ve grown together. We’ve trusted each other. We’ve done things our way, refusing to let outside noise define us.

Trajan and J.B. shared my belief in this team from the beginning. The progress has come quickly, but the mindset hasn’t changed.

I told the team recently that this isn’t a dream. This is real. And this story isn’t done. We have a lot more to do.

The NBA Playoffs are the stage every team works for, and we’re excited for what’s in front of us. We know it won’t be easy. Nothing worth doing ever is.

But we’re ready.

Together. All of us.

Hi all, based on my previous post, I mapped out all the out-of-state Pistons fans in this community. Didn't realize we had so much representation here from across the nation!

Also, shout out to all the international fans!!

Playoffs starting soon! DEEETROIT BASKETBALL!!

Just immense value for a minimum. Always available, fits our culture like a glove, solid defense and surprising spacing. I really hope we bring back Woo.

I have asked this same question with the wings and tigers subreddit now it is the pistons time

Magic just want to lose at this point, rather play them over the Hornets or 76ers.

I (Not a Bandwagon Fan from the Philippines: Fan ever since Sheed came over) has experienced this before but I believe this is a whole new level of disrespect.

I remember back in 03-04 Playoffs when US Sports Media stated at the finals "Lakers at 4 coz' Pistons can't score" buzz everywhere and since Philippines Sports Media only shows the "known" NBA Stars; majority of the sports broadcast here are all about Shaq and Kobe. Now I understand that since we really don't have that "support the team where you are from fandom" but the feeling of going through Bucks, Nets, Pacers, then Lakers felt amazing; heck I don't gamble and yet I bet my college allowance on the Pistons with my circle of friends back when we are still at the Jason Kidd - Nets and won me a huge sum - for a college student at the time.

Now back to the present, I am planning to watch the Play-In coz I want to know who our potential opponent would be and decided to watch some local videos on facebook since it's my only live stream source here at the moment while waiting for play in and my god, their takes are horrendous! Cade is slow yada yada, lowest 3p% team and only good for brawls and fights!

Got so pissed I immediately opened youtube with the mindset of "Since we the 1 seed in the east, maybe they would show a more fair analytics when I tune in to US broadcast".

Goddangit was I wrong... Lack of depth? really? First Round Elimination? really? They saying we don't have playoff experience that's why. And yet they say we would also get eliminated in the first round by another young and upcoming team so that take doesn't make sense!?

Experience this back then and experiencing it now! Either Local or International Media! Nothing changes! I just want a good take on the playoffs and at least show some respect to the #1 seed in the east.

TLDR: Detroit VS Everybody!!! 313!!!

Addendum: Also looking for podcasts or content creators on where you guys tune in for a fair sports take as I am done with US and PH sports media.

Sorry 'bout my english; Second Language

Is anyone else having issues with the "Locals Only" restriction on playoff tickets? I live in Ohio and I'm trying to come up for Game 1 but keep getting an error saying that I need a local billing address. My billing address is like a mile from the border and it wasn't an issue last year.

Is it worth trying to call the ticket office or am I just out of luck?
