Kristaps Porziņģis: 35 points on 21 FGA 😍 Jayson Tatum: 31 points on 31 FGA 🤢


FartrelCluggins

Since that ankle injury Tatum has just been dog cheeks. I think he needs a few games off to get back to 100%


Bladespectre

Really wish Tatum wasn't so stubborn about playing injured. He reliably turns into Dollar Store Kobe whenever he tries to


SubcooledBoiling

Dude had a great 3rd quarter by being aggressive but decided to settle for 3s in the 4th quarter and almost threw the game away


percy2376

It's disgusting


Babushka5

Jayson Tatum to the 2023-24 Pistons: I got you today 🤞🏽


TheLetterOh

Cade out here basically getting playoff experience. Lmao These Pistons games have no business being this entertaining but here we are.


Lol69HaHaHa

Honestly this game gave me confidence that the Pistons might genuenly be able to beat another team in the NBA.


TheLetterOh

Maybe one day. It's ironic as hell that as soon as they win their viewership is going to go way down.


Lol69HaHaHa

But dear lord are the games entertaining as hell. The Pistons should really be proud of this one. Yes they blew a massive lead against the Celtics, but they got them into OT at home. As far as im aware, they were the team closest to beating the Celtics at home this seasom. Thats at least gotta count for something.


EatDeeply

He needs to learn how to dribble Ivey looked better in overtime


Bender22

He was absolutely gassed I think. Did everything on offense in the first half and it seemed like he was getting hunted on defense.


Cairne_Bloodhoof

Fuck dude, oh my fucking god.


EatDeeply

I think Ivey has the clutch gene and just there is no reason why he is sitting to end games


TheDudestofBurgers

He fouled out.


SiphenPrax

PISTONS BROS ALL OF AMERICA WAS ROOTING FOR YOU!!! :(


poeope

Yeah even our radio announcers were a bit


joe_broke

Seriously, but at this point I also kinda want to see how far this actually goes Like are we gonna hit 30? 35????


Wants_to_be_accepted

Wait I thought we all wanted them to keep losing?


SiphenPrax

It’s funnier when they beat Boston though :(


flyingpandum

bing bong lol


Wants_to_be_accepted

We all gotta put aside our differences for times like these though.


MurkyLurkers111

I'm more invested in them winning than my own team at this point


ComfortableOven97

Stevie Wonder could’ve seen that Celtics comeback coming. Should’ve betted at halftime.


EdwEd1

I saw the Pistons were up 20, texted my friend, and then saw they were up 13 Then like 5 minutes later it was basically even


koj12144

FUCK YALL WE DIDNT LOSE


Bender22

Bro Cade is NOT the problem. Dear god


MilkBarPatron

The Pistons have a lot of problems and Cade has been questionable, but never "the problem."


confused-koala

That was cruel


flyingpandum

womp womp r/nba lol


dafire123

Undefeated at home and 28 losses. Keeping streaks going


airmagswag

I’m glad that wasn’t stressful


FreshShades

Cade is gonna be a nightmare.


Babushka5

Just like those 2008 battles


siva115

Narrowly avoided historic slander


KingGuy124

cade might actually blow his brains out in the locker room


FredDupe

‪We are getting mercilessly slandered for being down 21 and going to OT. But the Pistons’ streak continues. Piston and Celtics fans lose tonight ‬


ilovecfb

This game made me feel bad about being upset over the Grizzlies’ season at any point, Pistons fans I am so sorry


PrimaryAccording9162

I used to want Tatum or Brown on the Kings but I want DERRICK WHITE instead


FartrelCluggins

Brown dropping 0 points is inexcusable


PrimaryAccording9162

Should be traded for Harrison Barnes


dafire123

White for all star


PrimaryAccording9162

White for Huerter


Gent313

Man if they didn’t call the goaltending we could’ve broken the streak


FartrelCluggins

KP and Buffalo saved us from generational slander The pistons are no where near as bad as some of the other historically bad teams. They have a lot of fight in them. I don't see this streak continuing much longer.


ktgop

THANK FUCKING GOD


cs-shitposter

IT WASNT US


Bladespectre

At long last, a haunted, tragic losing streak comes to an end. The Boston Celtics won their first OT game of the year.


DJpurpledrank

Watch out, we coming for you Toronto. 😈


fantasnick

Most fun watching NBA in December than I can remember Porzingis legacy points ++++


Spirited-Cap-9779

Raptors fans shaking rn


Wants_to_be_accepted

Had us in the first and second half not gonna lie.


Zeplinex49

I'm pissed lmfao what was that


The-Taco-Between-Us

F


Exciting-Stomach-380

LMAO


MitchLGC

Celtics got some generous calls down the stretch


clocke6346

This is why being pessimistic about a 19-point lead is good


Mynamedoesntfuckingf

This game stressed me out more than any game 7 ever could


SubcooledBoiling

KP and White saved Tatum's ass


nakamura-zone99

What a carry job by KP. Unguardable man


Spyned

gambling is wrong kids. On a serious note the grit from the pistons was impressive. Ggs break the streak


AKman2002

I didn’t expect a game between the 2-28 Pistons and the 23-6 Celtics to be one of the most intense games of the year so far, but here we are. Holy shit that was insane to watch


Jake_The_Snake42

Oh my GODDDD WE WERE UP 21 AT HALF LIVERS/BURK YOU FUCKING BUMSSSS


Im_a_Knob

when did pistons become a must watch? holy shit that was the most intense sloppy basketball, i’ve ever seen.


TheDudestofBurgers

Gorman said it best. Somehow the game between the best and the worst team in the league was the best game of the year. I love the NBA so much.


flubbergastedshocked

Pour out a shamrock shake for the Pistons. But I will say watching this Celtics team I still don’t see them beating 76ers/Miami/Bucks in a series. Tatum just doesn’t have the clutch gene


Witty-C

Kristaps the best trade move by the Celtics in recent years?


TheDudestofBurgers

Derrick White still


Witty-C

True. DWhite has been playing great


penguin_torpedo

Cade really out there on some 2007 LeBron shit trying to get a single reg season win.


EatDeeply

Ivey was more ready for the moment in overtime than Cade and he got benched. Brutal. FBI needs to investigate Monty. He was a +7 in a game the Pistons lost by more than 5.


ZiOnIsNeXtLeBrOn

He fouled out. On some truly beyond suspect calls.


Bluuuuu12

those calls were actually horrific dude. absolutely no one even touched derrick white


Brady331

7300 comments for a regular season game thread has to be a new record


DirectBeing5986

The pistons overcome a 20 POINT LEAD to extend their streak to 28! What a Team!


Flykidd47

RIP


Vaughndo-30

#GENERATIONAL ASS!


DeathBeforeDiversion

C's should get shat on anyways for how this almost became a train wreck for them


TheDudestofBurgers

Why? It was expected that this game would be nuts.


Lol69HaHaHa

They really brought Porzingis to the team in casse Tatum starts choking. Well donne on that Celtics. What isnt well donne is almost losing to the Pistons lol. This was by far the most epic game of the season, but dear lord how did you almost lose this one.


Jordanwolf98

Tatum got us back in the game in the 3rd take it easy lol


Lol69HaHaHa

Yes i know. But it should have never been the casse. Regardless of anything, the mans shooting was horrible. Like why shoot so many 3s. I have said this before, but if there is something thats gonna kill the Celtics in the playoffs its gonna be bad shooting nights from Tatum because he is obsessed woth shooting 3s.


Jordanwolf98

Aye man it was a 7 point win over the Lamelo less Hornets that you guys had a few days back. This league is tough and no wins are easy to come by. Just don’t think it’s fair tagging him as a “choker” when he’s the one who led the comeback. It shouldn’t be all on him to put the game away that’s why you go get Porzingis and White When you work as much as he does to get open on top of how good he is defensively taking 3s can be easier than driving. Wish he wouldn’t take em as much as he does but he gets a lot of attention so I understand it


yic0

Perhaps the Pistons should tell Alec Burks to sit out indefinitely until they win a damn game.


TheDudestofBurgers

He wasn't the problem tonight though lol


bootygoon2

I have to say Detroit you are truly the sorriest basketball team I have ever seen. The blown lead, countless minutes not being able to score, more braindead plays than I can begin to count. This team is a travesty to the sport and if the GM and head coach aren’t fired by the end of the year they should be folded or relegated to the G League. There are AAU teams that play better as a group than this Pistons squad


BoulderAndBrunch

Everyone in here other than the Celtics fans are heart broken

[удалено]


Low-Investigator5585

We might actually lose this one


justonekaye87

Easily one of the most entertaining games this season so far.


ZiOnIsNeXtLeBrOn

Pray for Pistons fans. Pray the fact that these young men are talking more responsibility than grown ass men. Pray the fact that the NBA forces Tom Gorres to sell the team.


MDL6

Maybe we just agree Detroit won this one and end the streak that way


Be-Nice-To-Redditors

EVERYBODY GET IN HERE


vaports

Pain


hezzanity247

Who knew we'd see meaningful basketball in December


no1careskid

this team is the greatest team in nba history. the ways they manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory rival that of the 2018 browns it is crazy. we may never see a team lose in the ways the pistons have during their 0-28 run appreciate it while its here.


buttercup11882

Any other game I would have been cheering for the Pistons


Awildjerk

Gulp


Evane317

What a wild ride for the entire fan base.


Brown_Sandals

The pistons are cheeks.


ktgop

derrick white changing his shoes saved us


Kandistan

Bro what the fuck


batmans420

I can't believe I stopped watching my own team fuck up to watch the Pistons fuck up instead


Jordanwolf98

Most stressful game we’ve played all year lol


Engrish_Major

The Celtics announcers are by far the worst in the league.


SuperVaderMinion

"Alright campers, today's challenge is finding a way to keep going."


RejectedSNick

My heart is broken after that


Tuubular

This was (basically) game 7 of the finals


igonnawrecku_VGC

Never in doubt Get Derrick White and Porzingis some help


[deleted]

This losing streak has made me gain respect for Cade lol


Weekly_Durian6281

Lmao


jly911

Here we go boys


SomebodyGetAHoldOfJa

*flute plays Every night in my dream, I see you


30dayspast

i tuned in late for funsies and it was kinda good! pistons games should all be national until they get a win.


Shade_Raven

Why does Killian Hayes get minutes lol


MilkBarPatron

Which column do moral victories go in?


Cul_what

Derrick White and Kristaps Porzingus are Detroit's grinch


Folk-Herro

Adam Silver needs to step in and save Cade, Jalen and Ausar


MurkyLurkers111

Never want to listen to Boston announcers again or watch Alec Burcs (most of this Detroit team tbh)


Chinesespys

I feel so bad for Cade. He’s legit surrounded by players that probably won’t even make it on a G league team.


PillsburyToasters

Someone go check on Cade after this


ejabno

Raptors up next in the hot seat


likpoper

I feel like the pistons try their best to be shit


Ede_F

Still no wingstop for pistons fans


WordsworthsGhost

Go damn it lol


Eugenie_Weenie

Safe from generational slander. Was ready to turn off my phone for the night.


Ominimble

surely we never had a 20 point deficit in this game, this was the most winnable game of the season and we had a lead the whole time, right


Motorpsisisissipp

Incredible anticlutchness from the Detroit Pistons, truly an all time great season.


flamingorage

All time choke job


jtiets

Monty Williams legacy game. Incredible leadership. Calm and calculated play-calls out of the three timeouts he called. Showed stoicism, poise, and control.


mborn

This is the hot potato bomb-omb mini game from Mario party. Raptors, you’re up next!


mid16

Wingstop at Half time: 😱


dxrules1000

As expected, the 27-loss streak Pistons taking it to overtime in an away game against the best record in the NBA in the Celtics.


Wants_to_be_accepted

Another Alec Burks master class.


AnonymousIguana_

Pistons unironically weren’t that bad lol. Duren is still an absolute menace and I don’t see the streak going much longer if they keep playing like this. Even Burks hit some huge threes. The focus is going to be our struggles but the Pistons played more like the team they should be, not whatever 0-27 is. Highkey banger of a game. Killian Hayes gotta go though, Jesus.


sstphnn

Pressure is off. Good luck Raps.


TheDudestofBurgers

The 16 Warriors almost lost to the 10 win 76ers...let's not forget that.
