KAREEM, WILT AND ANDRE DRUMMOND
Andre Drummond has had at least 20 points and 20 rebounds in half of the Pistons' first 6 games. The last two players with that many 20-20 games within a team's first 6 games of a season are Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Wilt Chamberlain.

Two big back to back games that should be winnable IMO. No Chris Paul Saturday and the Lakers Sunday. I won't be upset about the loss Saturday but there's no reason to lose to the Lakers.

As an ex Pistons fan, I'm glad you all seem to be getting back. I am curious what the plan is when Jennings gets back to full strength. Reggie has been playing pretty damn good.

The original idea was that we trade him. He's an expiring and only make $8.3M this year. However, we need a scorer off the bench and he can provide that, even if he's not 100% this year and he wants to be here. I don't have any problem keeping him.

Excellent game from the Pistons tonight, best performance of the year. Was super impressed with Reggie/KCP tonight.

Pistons somehow survived a 4 OT game and won. It was freaking incredible to watch.

Gutsy gutsy win tonight. Really good road win.

Not sure how they pulled it out but really nice win.

The Memphis win would have been nice, but oh my god this is sweet. Absolute thrashing of the defending champs on Ben Wallace Night. Great night.

KCP played a hell of a game, they all did.

KCP has actually been great the last ten games, best stretch of his career. Starting to wonder if he's turned the corner.

Just some Pistons thoughts scattered during the UT-USCe halftime.

1) I really like Jennings and SVG calling out the team. They are young. They don't bring it every night. We need a guy to lead during tough games and we don't have that right now. It needs to be Reggie IMO.

2) KCP is playing the best ball of his career. Since the new year, 17.5/4.3/1.9/1.5 with a really solid shooting line of 49/40.4/84.6. He's not going to be the driver that I thought, but he's really found his stroke and really starting to become Rip Hamilton like with his off ball catch and shoot. I love what he does defensively (should be all defense but won't).

3) Marcus isn't shooting as well as I hoped, but he will get there. Still think he's the future 4 at this team and I like his defense. He's tough as nails too. Great steal by SVG for a second round pick.

4) SVG is a great coach, but man this offense is too stagnant at times. It's like if the Reggie/Dre PNR doesn't work, or KCP can't get open for a shot, it's iso ball. We need better ball movement. When we have good ball movement, Detroit is really hard to beat.

5) He isn't shooting well, but Stanley is doing everything else great. Very good defender. Can get to the lane. Underrated playmaker. Still going to be a stud and can't wait for next year as the starter.

6) I'm not sure where this team is headed honestly. The East is so crowded. They are only a .5 game in front from the 8 seed. But only 2.5 games back of the 3 seed. I would love a trade to get some offense, but that is probably not going to happen unless SVG gives up a first rounder and I'd rather not. I think they can make the playoffs, but Dre needs to step up defensively. He's getting moody and it's affecting him on that end. Do that, have some better outside shooting, and who the hell knows what can happen.

Pathetic performance tonight by Detroit. Absolutely pathetic. 1-3 this week. Tough game Monday in Utah. Don't like how they are playing right now.

At some point Stan has to start going with Marcus at the 4 and Stan at the 3 some and get a faster pace going.

Cleveland is really rolling with the offense, but hey...it's only eight at the half. Love having his best game of his Cavs career sadly.

This team has been GARBAGE since the Golden State win.

SVG has his work cut out for him.
