It's time to ruminate on a 3-8 start for the Detroit Pistons, who are on a 23 win pace so far in the 22-23 win season. Big topics include some key stats from the start of the season, rotations from Coach Casey, as well as the new defensive scheme. We wrap up with a first-impressions prospect of the week... which may or may not have spiraled into Jake waxing poetic about how freaking FUN this upcoming class is (#WatchTheTwins).

After wrapping up some pre-season thoughts and getting which Bogdanovic is on the team wrong like 7 times, Jake and Chris dive in to some of the semantic details of defenses, the strengths of the roster, and whether the Pistons are doing the RIGHT thing.

Jake and Chris talked summer league and some assorted topics for the future as they prepare to take a bit of time off to end the summer. Note: Hey so this was recorded over a week ago.

It's time to go over the staff this year. How did Dwane Casey do? Was this Troy Weaver draft as strong as his first? Then it's time to talk SOCHAN Follow on twitter @NotTheFakeWebby and @Halbridious Intro/Outro provided by Blank & Kytt: https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Blank__Kytt/Heavy_Crazy_Serious

We're gonna need a bigger pod: Chris and Jake go over the biggest takeaways from each player on the roster as the season closes out, and what kinds of things they'd like to see everyone handle over the summer.  Then there's a little chat about CHAOS AGENT Tari Eason.

If you don't vote Cade for Rookie of the Year we will find you and we will roast you about the things you feel most inadequate about. Follow on twitter @NotTheFakeWebby and @Halbridious Intro/Outro provided by Blank & Kytt: https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Blank__Kytt/Heavy_Crazy_Serious

The wins have fled in terror at the sight of the TANK. It's 6Ls in 7 Tries, but Saddiq and Jeremy slapped down a pair of high scoring games, Cade rampaged into what should be the frontrunning position for ROY, and somehow we find time to talk about Bennedict Mathurin.

The lads talk 3 straight wins, some noise around the league, and then dive into one of the most fascinating prospects in this year's draft: Potential #1 pick Jabari Smith.

Cade wins MVP of Rising Stars, the Dunk Contest sucked, and somehow we're already 4 games into the Post-All-Star-Break period of the season and there's just 20 games left! Chris and Jake cover the basis as well as talk about Keegan Murray and some Tari Eason as well to close things out. Follow on twitter @NotTheFakeWebby and @Halbridious Intro/Outro provided by Blank & Kytt: https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Blank__Kytt/Heavy_Crazy_Serious

Turns out it's time to talk about Marvin Bagley.  Who Knew!? Follow on twitter @NotTheFakeWebby and @Halbridious Intro/Outro provided by Blank & Kytt: https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Blank__Kytt/Heavy_Crazy_Serious

Recorded in 2 parts, Chris and Jake go over every trade (that reddit charted, thank you reddit) and break the deadline down sequentially before getting around to discussing Bagley and the Jerami Grant saga (spoilers: Jake is frustrated). No, our sanities have not yet recovered. Follow on twitter @NotTheFakeWebby and @Halbridious Intro/Outro provided by Blank & Kytt: https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Blank__Kytt/Heavy_Crazy_Serious

The lads cover the last few games, give Saddiq Bey his due, and then fall into a fight about the guards at the top of the draft.  Hal makes a plaintive petition against the persecution of pliability.  Follow on twitter @NotTheFakeWebby and @Halbridious Intro/Outro provided by Blank & Kytt: https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Blank__Kytt/Heavy_Crazy_Serious

Chris and Jake quickly cover recent games and talk about some of the latest trade rumors before diving into Cade Cunningham's recent play and just taking the time to celebrate how darn good he's been. Then they dive into Chet Holmgren, and then how he, Jabari Smith, and Paolo Banchero contrast in their potential fits for the Pistons. Follow on twitter @NotTheFakeWebby and @Halbridious Intro/Outro provided by Blank & Kytt: https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Blank__Kytt/Heavy_Crazy_Serious

Chris and Jake talk about the Pistons actually maybe kind of winning games? And why there's still a lot of frustration to be had. They cover Saddiq Bey blending in by just being good, and also Jaden Ivey.
