  • One of the best

    One of my favorite podcasts - Pistons or otherwise. Laz and Ben do a great job speaking from an educated fan perspective and matching that perspective to their analysis. Somebody pick these guys up while they’re still free agents!

  • Less Millennial “Up-talk” cadence.

    Very good info!!! Please stop talking (Laz) like you’re always asking a question. Not every sentence ends in a ????? mark.

    Makes it cringeworthy.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Duren's Dominance w/Sean Murphy l The Pindown
Q: What do you think about Kevin Herter and his fit with the Pistons in the current lineup?
Sean argues that Herter's shooting gravity and defensive reliability open up space for teammates and give the Pistons a coordinated second unit with better ball handling and playmaking, while Wes adds that Herter's off-ball movement and decision-making have elevated the team's floor spacing and late-game options.
Surviving a Tough Stretch l The Pindown
Q: Where do we go to get more three-point shooting, whether it's from Sasser, Herder, Middleton, or others?
The discussion centers on bench production from shooters like Sasser, possible buyout targets (Middleton mentioned as a possibility), and whether the team should lean into improving the current rotation or lean on existing shooters like Duncan Robinson and Tobias Harris, with tradeoffs in minutes and roster balance.
Kevin Huerter & a New York-Sized Beatdown l The Pindown
Q: Do you think the Pistons trading Jaden Ivey was the right move?
It seemed like a change of scenery was needed for Ivey, as the Pistons are in a different place right now.
Kevin Huerter & a New York-Sized Beatdown l The Pindown
Q: What were your initial reactions to the Kevin Huerter trade?
I think Kevin Huerter is a good deadline ad, known for his shooting ability, and he can really help the team down the stretch.
Pistons Trade Deadline Preview l The Pindown
Q: Is there a rush for teams with TPEs close to expiration?
It's generally dependent on the team situation, but many teams only leverage their TPE if they have a player they want, rather than using it just for the sake of it.
