Back from Break! I The Pindown
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.We’ve got you covered for all this and more in this week’s episode!We’ve got you covered for all this and more in this week’s episode!You can watch the entire episode on our YouTube channelFollow Wes Davenport on Twitter @TheRealWesD3Follow Blake Silverman on Twitter @BlakeSilvermanFollow Detroit Bad Boys on Twitter @DetroitBadBoysWant to hear your voice on the Pindown?
