pistons and suns basically same record crazy x.com/FunkyDiabetic1

[@tigertie7701]

And they play on Saturday

[@hardwoodgems]

@@AFunkyDiabetic Great highlight in the comments Funky!

[@poodymeiner3125]

Does Hinkie have a shot of running another franchise? Suns would love him

[@nicholasalexander9866]

The front office finally surrounded Cade, their franchise player, with an NBA roster lol

[@futurehofer1564]

Lots of players were there already: Jalen Duren, Jaden Ivey, Amen Thompson, Isaiah Stewart All they did was get some shooters and a good coach. They did a good job drafting players all these years.

[@KH-ou4st]

@@futurehofer1564I agree with what you’re saying except for the drafting bc it can be a hit or miss at times. They are so lucky to even have Cade Cunningham, otherwise the pistons will still be a poverty franchise, idk why they keep drafting players who can’t shoot, Stanley Johnson, Sekou Dembouya, Killian Hayes, Ausar Thompson, and now Ron Holland. But other than that, they’re definitely doing better this year after a horrendous season last year

[@dontaerogers2687]

The roster barely changed, yall was just too busy bullying them last year to realize that.

[@TerribleTake]

@@KH-ou4stAusar and Ron do not belong in that list yeah they can shoot but they are significantly better defenders and athletes and Ausar specifically is a good playmaker as well definitely a great pick

[@UnbeatableJacob]

@@dontaerogers2687that’s just false though. All of Beasley, Tobias, Hardaway, and Holland are main rotation guys who were not on the team last year. Fontecchio was added at the deadline last year after the really bad stretch. Paul Reed has chipped in at times. Those guys replaced minutes going to James Wiseman, Killian Hayes, Kevin Knox, Isiah Livers, and Marvin Bagley. That’s a big difference.

[@aj-jl7ij]

i genuinely thought this is how the Pistons were going to do last season. it makes me happy to know i wasn't COMPLETELY insane

[@TheTEN24]

Same here i thought I knew nothing about ball last year lmao

[@AnthonyJones-j6g]

Injury refs Monty reason they looked bad

[@PTBIC]

Monty was coaching to be fired for that money lol

[@mittendemon4493]

Its all monty fault bro ong

[@nou1364]

Uh, you were? They had no shooting whatsoever and everyone with a brain knew they’d be a bottom 3 team. Now they added shooting and everyone knew they would be better.

[@JJGray21]

J.B. Did the same thing with the Cavs too. He just couldn’t take the team to the next level. Overall, he’s a solid coach.

[@maximillianschauer1439]

Jb a developmental coach, a coach you get for this kind of team. Not a coach for the finals or deep playoff as he's not an xs and os type coach. Not knocking him. Just is what it is. He should get more credit for how he helped rebuild Cleveland.

[@JJGray21]

@ Couldn’t agree more.

[@adripos]

@@maximillianschauer1439X’s and O’s coaches don’t win titles kid. Nerds only think this but player coaches are superior.

[@titans360ify]

Same with rockets

[@titans360ify]

@@maximillianschauer1439not a good take

[@TheTEN24]

Happy for these guys I’m a huge fan of Ivey and Cade it’s such a shame he had that freak injury right when he’s breaking out

[@Ralfydee]

On a side note LGM!

[@sethlesliereeves]

funky pistons mention….. we’re so back 😭😭😭

[@johnnygojcaj2352]

My goat finally acknowledged my teams turnaround this is amazing

[@damienpalmer1789]

holy entire funky vid for pistons we UP UP

[@Aadams700]

Malik Beasley is a very underrated player in the league right now

[@maxwell-o8g]

Love the content, concise and straightforward

[@tigertie7701]

Thanks for the Pistons vid. They're one of my favorite league pass teams 😊

[@RudieObias]

Bickerstaff is a helluva coach!

[@hardwoodgems]

I am looking forward to watching them play.

[@getplayed7272]

As a pistons fan I think context is necessary. Last year we weren't as bad as we looked to be, morale was cooked because of having an ass coach, and ass front office messing up everything This team rn is way too reliant on Cade because Ivey went down hell even when Ivey was playing for a bit because Ivey can't playmake that well, I would look a lot more highly of the pistons this season if Cole Anthony didn't dive into his legs though. The role guys are legit great from vets to beef stew and Ausar locking it down, ron holland not looking too bad either, but unfortunate that they had to draft him and not another stud in 2025. but no other ball handlers is really bad, and like I said having holland instead of a top 5 2025 guy could bite hard even though holland isn't bad. With a good amount of cap in a cba chocked nba that is the one saving grace for the future

[@Ralfydee]

I kinda feel like monty williams just didn’t give a shit at all last year in detroit and didn’t even try to coach up or work with these players as if it was beneath him or something. Look at how much better jaden ivy was this year before he got hurt too

[@JayDaGod_1]

Monty Williams is Steven Silas with a resume built by CP3 KD and Booker

[@kam_12_]

not every coach is a developmental one who can get the best out of young players and grow along with them, only reason he took the job was for the $$

[@CrazyxEnigma]

Wasn't that basically confirmed? Or just a very reasonable assumption? Generational bag getter at the very least.

[@sadtwolvesfan]

As a twolves im more optimistic for the Pistons than my own team. It helps we have their pick

[@AnthonyJones-j6g]

Need to trade that pick randal for cam Johnson

[@ericsmusic5927]

Who asked?

[@Xemesis99]

Been looking forward to this video 🙏

[@maximillianschauer1439]

Monty Williams better never get another coaching job for the rest of his life

[@KillaWhale209]

Can you do a talk about Sacramento

[@christophertondro3351]

I've been waiting for this day for so so long, AFunkyDiabetic Pistons video. Thank you! People are finally talking about the Pistons!

[@cabknox]

Add shooters and good personality vets around our young all-star ace guard?? nah, I think I'm gonna trade away all our 2nd round picks and cap space for reclamation projects cause they're big and washed vets that can't shoot anymore - Troy Weaver probably

[@HONDACR919USA313]

It's more that last year they weren't that bad than it's that this team is that much better

[@GMMANN419]

Best story in the league

[@travis618]

Seeing pistons thumbnails the past two weeks all over KZbin has me bricked up as a pistons fan

[@FirstGenShiinab]

I hope Kofie is somewhere smiling

[@mosespf]

I don’t think we need to make any crazy trades at the deadline. Yeah we don’t have a #2 but THJ & Beasley keep stepping up and Tobias is consistently okay. Ausar needs to develop an offensive bag other than cutting but my god is he a defensive freak. Same thing goes for Stew man he has been useless offensively but his defense has been insane. Holland has been fun as a finisher, other than that he’s a work in progress. Tek is ok, need more consistency from him. Sasser doesn’t run the offense as well as he could but there’s potential with him. I agree with your take on Duren, at this pace it will take like another like half a decade to see him become a fully developed player but the flashes are there. Shoutout to Ivey, team would be below 500 if it weren’t for his contributions this season. Can’t wait to see his comeback and most importantly, shoutout Bickerstaff. Good coach

[@toniolue724]

The Pistons if given the right coach last year would’ve had this resurgence then. Monty imo intentionally tried to get fired. He started Killian Hayes over Jaden Ivey and had trash line ups and game plans. Cade was ballin outta his mind but no one cares when your record is that bad. I think all the pieces have finally come together and the Pistons should be Eastern Conference finalist in the next two years.

[@starburst9132]

The disrespect Pistons players been getting was so aggravating “Cade an em” lol gtfoh that whole squad balling

[@cobrallama6236]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Nash still the oldest player in 2k15?

[@thatfatguy7591]

Craziest turn arounds for me are the Pistons/Spurs/Rockets ( in the right direction) and the GsW/Suns ( in the wrong direction). Last season the Spurs only won 22 games, and currently are sitting at 19. Rockets were elimitated from the playoffs by record last season, but now are 2nd best in the West. GsW is a franchise holding onto the past and too scared to trade Draymond. Suns ruined their franchise by trading for the worst contract in the NBA (Beal).

[@KLead2010]

Got a actual coach and got a much better all around roster

[@jxy2590]

i felt this coming

[@MikeGlasses]

I swear to god if Lamelo makes the all star team and Cade doesn’t

[@cookingwitchefzayy8830]

And the knicks traded that 1st rd pick they got from them 1 through 15 protected 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

[@luistinoco7794]

I expect a video soon on the Kings for the same reason! Oh and they whooped your Celtics🤣

[@LabratNomadMusic]

The Pistons are good and we get a Funky video giving us our flowers? This doesnt feel like a real time at all. Pretty sure this is a simulation

[@lansvale28]

Tobias Harris hasn’t been on many poor teams. He must have something.

[@CameronShull]

He has that dawg in him

[@d4ws125]

As your 3rd to 5th best player he's great, Sixers expected him to be a bona fide 3rd option and he's not that guy but he's def solid

[@lansvale28]

@@d4ws125 True. I think he’s added more to teams than PG, which is pretty good.

always been that way. wake up

What did you just say to me???

[@seymourcox6112]

The pistons were supposed to tank and we hated on Monty for starting killian Hayes

[@numaneren6274]

He still has to live in Detroit.

[@ktaleb45]

don’t believe the memes, it’s a good city on the come up

[@Mkj119]

Why would a 200 million dollar man live in the city?

[@MrE51917]

​@@Mkj119 because downtown Detroit is a place where very wealthy people live. But he's actually probably out in the hills somewhere

[@verward]

Tobias Harris was an overpay, but they had the cap space and they desperately needed a floor spacer/ decent NBA player.

[@timtolentino]

You need to make an updated Kings video as an apology

[@darren806]

Dawg why should he apologise, they were bad now they've improved? Just be happy your team is doing well smh
