  • 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.

Reacting to Week One! | The Pindown
Q: Who picks up the ball handling slack if Ausar is out against the Sixers?
The hosts considered starting Daniss Jenkins and using him alongside Cade Cunningham, with possible backup point guard minutes for Ibou Badji Okoro. They also discussed giving Ron Holland more chances to create offense.
Reacting to Preseason Game 1 | The Pindown
Q: Do you think this is just a preseason phenomenon? Do you think the jump shot is real and can translate to the regular season? And if so, how does that change the dynamic of the team?
The hosts say one preseason game is too small a sample to know whether Ausar Thompson's mid-range shot will translate. They are encouraged by his confidence and increased on-ball opportunities, arguing that his offensive assertiveness alone could make defenders guard him more closely and open space for the team.
Creepin to Oct. 20th | The Pindown
Q: What do you think about Chaz Lanier's performance and the Chaz section?
The hosts praise Lanier's shooting, improved on-ball defense, and comfort during preseason minutes, while noting that a crowded guard rotation may limit his regular-season opportunities.
Creepin to Oct. 20th | The Pindown
Q: What preseason trends have you seen that you think are encouraging, and what have you seen that you think might be worrisome?
The hosts are encouraged by Detroit's turnover-generating defense and the effort of its young players. They are concerned about rebounding during John Collins's small-ball-center minutes, while treating Isaiah Joe's expanded on-ball work as a development to monitor.
Ausar Gets Paid, Duren Standoff Continues | The Pindown
Q: What are your thoughts on Ausar Thompson's new contract and its impact on the Pistons' ceiling?
The deal is viewed as fair value for a top-tier defender with room to grow offensively, potentially becoming a cornerstone on both ends; it signals commitment to Thompson as a defensive anchor and a platform for his offensive development.
