The Pistons are back! And they delivered an absolutely dominant win against a strong Atlanta Hawks team on Friday night. Blake and Wes use that win to discuss the bigger picture — are the Pistons really this good? Sitting at 20-5, this team is legit, and the guys break down why. They discuss the team’s great depth, why it’s a good thing that good players won’t likely find many minutes. They also break down what we’ve seen out of the first 10 games of Jaden Ivey, injuries and the NBA Cup schedule implications, and they name a skill from a former Piston that each would like to see imparted on Duren’s game.

The Pistons are back on the right track just in time for a nice, nearly week-long break to rest and recover.

After a 13-game win streak, the Pistons dropped two straight. Unfortunately, those two games were Cup games, ruining the Pistons dreams of playing for the NBA Cup in Las Vegas. Wes and Blake get together prior to the game vs. the Heat to break down why the Celtics were just a bad matchup and nothing more, and why that Orlando loss stings just a bit more. They discuss why the team needs Jalen Duren to be more aggressive and why Duncan Robinson is so vital offensively. The guys also break down the early returns from Jaden Ivey, why we need to make sure to be patient with him as he gets his sea legs back under him. And finally, they dive into the 12-man rotation: what are the benefits, what do the guys need to do to make it work, and when it may be time to pull the plug.
