Inside The Cylinder ep. 96: Pistons dodge injury bullet and start to form an identity Jan 06, 2021

Show notes

In this week’s episode of Inside The Cylinder, Matt (@waymatth) and I (@THE_FERNANTULA) discuss the Pistons games from this past week. They were able to secure one win against the Celtics, but then dropped their last two to the Celtics and Bucks (the baseball series have begun!), we’ll talk about what we’ve noticed on the floor and why we’ve been pleasantly surprised, even as the losses continue to pile up. Luckily for Detroit, it appears they’ve dodged a bullet with both Josh Jackson’s ankle and Killian Hayes’ hip injury, but Dwane Casey may have to manage how he goes about reintegrating them back into the line-up - there’s no need to rush them back into action when this team is destined for a bottom three finish this season. We’ll take a look at some possible solutions from a rotational standpoint. They’ll also discuss the following topics Why the Pistons should continue to pick up the pace Svi for THREEEEEE Detroit’s newfound identity All that and more in this week’s episode!

Inside The Cylinder ep. 94: Revisiting the Luke Kennard trade and final preseason thoughts Dec 22, 2020

Show notes

Detroit Basketball Eve - what a lovely day it is. Before the regular season tips off, and before any actual Pistons content is discussed, Matt and I revisit the Luke Kennard trade. Kennard signed a $64M dollar extension with the Clippers, so why did Detroit have to chip in four second round picks to "incentivize" LA to take him? We also take a look at some of Detroit's acquisitions over the offseason and what we expect from them moving forward, including Mason Plumlee, Delon Wright and local favorite, Josh Jackson. Some of the other topics discussed include Dzanan Musa waived before given a shot to perform The importance of depth during the pandemic Defensive length and wing rotation Whether or not we believe Detroit will be the worst team in the league this season And as always, make sure to follow Inside The Cylinder on Twitter - @InsideTheCylndr Learn more about your ad choices.
