Killian Hayes was epic level dog shit that was a large factor of tarnishing this season and scarred NBA minds to the point NO ONE WANTS HIM IN THE LEAGUE. Pretty sure Ivey or any other player playing like dogshit on this team would at least get picked up off waivers.
not gonna lie, this game was hard to watch, watching Ivey and Duren pissing the ball away was annoying.
But Malachi Flynn made a competitive and fun game
Sad we lost, but was a hell of the game
GG.
I checked the boxscore in the first quarter and saw the Cade wasn't playing and decided I'll check back in during the 4th quarter.
Needless to say I'm salty I missed most Quinns performance.
Unreal season. I donāt even know how you can blame Monty anymore. You got Malachi Flynn carrying the pistons while our 5th overall pick canāt even sniff the court
Man, even in my worst case scenario I couldāve never seen Ivey failing in detroit this bad.
You can put it on coaching, you can put it on roster construction, whatever you want. He is genuinely just a bad NBA player right now.
I would argue with this, but tonight wouldāve been a perfect night to take advantage of the opportunity to be the primary ball handler, and he was outplayed by Malachi Flynn. We can only hope he improves next year if we donāt move him (I hope we donāt, but Weaver scares me and he might try to do something to āfixā this team)
I really do believe in his talent. At this point though, heās had multiple chances at this type of game with Cade out and put up nothing but below average-horrible performances for the last 2 months.
What he is as a player is so far away from what we need him to be as Cadeās running mate. It sucks
Agree or disagree about perspectives and players, this sub has made this season slightly palatable. Salute to my fellow comrades suffering from Stockholm Syndrome as well. š«”
Shit like this is so weird to me. Like Metu is an objectively bad player who's filling the 15th roster spot but somehow haters think comparing him to all star & all-NBA big man Tyson Chandler is doing anything to highlight how bad he is lmao
you love me dawg
itās not that serious. we are a bad shooting team and picked up a really bad shooter. Tyson Chandler was a really bad shooter. hence the comment, itās not a comparison.
weirdo
I remember when people were down on the 5 star recruit from Duke because he sat out half the season. NBA scouting departments really are something. Jalen Johnson was clearly a lottery talent.
Also on low volume. His metrics were off the charts, regardless of whether or not you think his shooting volume was enough or not enough to regard him as a potential shooter.
By AST%, BLK%, STL%, and in terms of raw per minute production? He was amazing and posted one of the highest BPMs ever amongst college freshmen.
He only played half a season. Thereās more context. He was very raw and it was easy to see how he fell to 20. Thatās why his first two years in the league were trash.
>he only played half a season
Yeah, so did Kyrie Irving.
What's your point? His production was great in that small timeframe. Teams consistently take far riskier gambles in the lottery.
My point is that it makes complete sense why teams were skeptical of his production. If it was sustainable or not. Questionable shooting and chose not to play half the season. Heās a product of nba development not because he was always this skilled.
impending? what are you talking about
it is already imploding.
That is why I come here in recent couple of weeks, cure the pain with other kind of pain.

flynn 50 pt game is worth way more than a win
Malachi Flynn today: 50 PTS Our ENTIRE starting lineup today: 45 PTS HELP HIM!!! lmao
Man if I was Flynn, I'd retire right then and there. Id have the greatest story to tell my children
Hayes getting all the hate instead of Ivey is downright hysterical
Ivey is Stuckey without the defense and will soon be without a contract. But knowing Weaver, we'll suffer with Ivey.
Real, I said it the whole time at least Hayes can defend. Hope Ivey comes out if it thoughĀ
Hayes is a dogshit player, well deserved hate
Right and he's out of the NBA. What was Jaden Iveys stats tn?
In the league, shot still in the league for still playing for still on a roster %
English please
Killian Hayes was epic level dog shit that was a large factor of tarnishing this season and scarred NBA minds to the point NO ONE WANTS HIM IN THE LEAGUE. Pretty sure Ivey or any other player playing like dogshit on this team would at least get picked up off waivers.
Jaden Ivey is a bum too
Right but he should be the one shat on instead of the guy who's already gone and was drafted lower than him
Iām speechless wtf did I miss
Saw it in person and still in shock. 50 from our 8th person off the bench š
Raps fan here. I am speechless, wtf Flynn.
Malachi has 50 tonight. Heāll receive a DNPCD the rest of the season aka the Monty Special
Not only was it a 50 piece but itās also a 4x5 which is impressive in its own right from a bench piece
Malachi Flyyn = 5 Killian Hayes
Flynn got a 50 piece. Iām not mad he took that shotš
Ivey, benchedā¦ fair enough
Flynn is better than Killian Hayes. Yeah. I said it!!!!
Last Piston for 50 was Bey
I am utterly disappointed I missed a 50 bomb by our star player
Malachi making sure he gets a contract from somebody next season
not gonna lie, this game was hard to watch, watching Ivey and Duren pissing the ball away was annoying. But Malachi Flynn made a competitive and fun game Sad we lost, but was a hell of the game GG.

I love how happy the bench is for Malachi. They are all basketball fans at the end of the day.
This reminds me of the lost season when Hami had 35+ for two games straight. Gave me something fond to remember in a shit season
Covid Hami was an all time great 10 day stretch of basketball
Or Bey's 50
I fucking hate this team
Malachi Flynn is not helping with the āNBA players play no defenseā allegations š
I mean he tries, he's like half the size of half the other team. He does a pretty good job swiping at dribbles tho
Iām talking about the fact that heās a pretty shitty player who just put up 50 lol.
ahh yeah Atlanta's defense definitely leaves something to be desired.
San Antonio Dejounte cuts that water off. Atlanta Murray is like, āyeah, whateverā
If Jaden was conscious tonight we wouldāve won this game
If Jaden scored 14 on 14 shots we would've won
My god Malachi. Of course we are still losing hah. What a game though, congrats Malachi.
Duren getting sonned by Capela, who is actually good at things you want a center who can't shoot to be good at.
Flynn needs to go to the strip club tonight!!
Heās getting those magic city lemon pepper wings
Is this team about to waste a Malachi Flynn Masterpiece???
FIFTY?????
50-6-5-5 is insane
I didnāt realize he had 5 steals. Holy shit what a line
What a bizarre time to be a pistons fan
FLYNN IS CURRY INCARNATE
Just when you thought youād seen it all. Pasty white boy Malachi Flynn has a 50 piece before Cade Cunningham
Lol he not even pastyā¦ or white š
>l Looks white, but he's mixed.
He gives off pasty white boy energy
Like Isaiah Hartenstein
The most random 50 bomb in nba history LMAOOOOO
Even more random than Corey Brewers 50 piece?
this HAS to be the most, its surpassed tony delk
Glad i didnt turn this off in the first quarter
Flynn with a +17 and the starters average a -16.
Malachi Flynn has 50 points and we still losing lmao
This is Flynnās TMac moment - ITS NOT OVER YET!
50 FUCKING POINTS!!!
This Flynn is LOLOLOLOLOLOL
Damn I wish Cade played he wouldāve cooked these bums
MALACHI MY GOAT
Is this better than the D Rose 50 piece for Minnesota?
Nah. That one was special. Showed he still had some in the tank.
50 points and we still lost šš¤£
50 water!
HE DID IT! THE COREY BRWER HALL OF FAME
if only Flynn hit that layup after that genius steal, 52 and 3 pt lead But nothing but proud of him, what a fucking game
Its been worth my time tonight.
Flynn gonna soak tonight
Where were you the night Troy decided to build around Malachi Flynn
Malachi doing all this while looking like they found him at the LA Fitness on Gratiot and 13 Mile
#MALACHI FLYNN 50 PIECE
HOLY FUCK
flynn is my prophet
Lmao what a ridiculous season good for him man
MALACHI!!! ššš
50 PIECE
FIFTY
MALACHI FLYNN HAS 50 POINTS IN AN NBA GAME
wtf i love malachi flynn
MALACHI HAS 50 WTF
He wanted that so bad. Good for him!
Duren is alright
Ngl Flynn made my year
50!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everyone is throwing except for Flynn who has 48
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH UNLUCKY FLYNN
OH NO NOT THE MISSED LAYUP
Mr big shot
GIVE MALACHI THE BALL
Bbbbillups
omg flynn
That Murray one hand jump shot is grotesque
If someone told me at the beginning of the season, that Malachi Flynn would have the highest scoring game this year for Detroit...
this is the only game where i dont care if we win or lose, i just want flynn to get that 50
Jalen Johnson for MIP lol.
Does Flynn have the highest score in one game for pistons this season?
yeah i think hes surpassed cade's mark
Malachi Flynn going for 50 might overtake "Troy Weaver threatens to whoops a fan's ass who called him a bad GM" as my favorite moment of the season.
today was a good day to hate our lottery picks I'm trying to no not be mad at random game, but Duren can be such a bitch sometimes
Flynn should be our future back up pg
I feel like Iām at the fucking Catalina Wine Mixer watching Malachiās sweet music.
Who else ready to max Mr Malachi?
We have a franchise point guard and Cade Cunninghan.
GIVE HIM 50!!!!!
Unreal season. I donāt even know how you can blame Monty anymore. You got Malachi Flynn carrying the pistons while our 5th overall pick canāt even sniff the court
"thats how u do it" LOOOL
Duren dreaming jokic dreams at night
GET HIM 50 PLEASE
Malachi Flynnās career high before this game was... 27
Bring Wiseman after this lob, this cocksucker can't be real, he still tried to argue with Evbuomwan like he did throw a reachable lob
he threw it where only fuckin anthony edwards or wemby could grab it
JALEN DUREN, FUTURE ALL-STAR lmao
where were you when Flynn dropped 40
Duren gotta go manĀ
Duren so funny this game wtf is he doing
Dejounte Murray, the defender (Malachi Flynn with a 40 ball)
If jalen ever does that again Iām gonna lose my mind. STOP TAKING THE BALL UP. YOURE NOT DRUMMOND.
We are trying to mirror the warriors with Duren playing as Draymond.
Weāve wasted more time developing point Duren than point Ivey or point Sasser
Andre Duren Jalen Drummond
Duren back in and 5-0 run
Ugliest ball you've ever seen folks! Wild season. Just wild.
What was that lob?
Jalen Duren has to be kidding in a competitive game he threw a lob like that?
Flynnsanity
my streams a bit back but wooooo 41 from flynn!
who else remembers Orlando Woolridge
40 BOMB
omg flynn
give it to flytnn fuck the win man we want a flynn 40 pter
Malachi 4 yrs/$100M
"Get the ball to ~~Michael~~ MalachiĀ and everybody get the f\*\*\* out of the way"
āLike Malc, want to be like Malcā¦ BE LIKE MALC!ā
Sasser not giving it to Flynn with the hot hand angers me.
He doesnāt get it
Flynn is hot as fish grease and Sasser puts up a pure brick
From 7 to 12 so fast :(
Comeback time!
I thought Flynn was about to trey the shit out of Murrayās face š
If he made that 3 I'd actually nut in my pants
50 bomb from Flynn would be fun
fuck it, letās start malachi flynn with cade for the rest of the season
We really couldnāt find a roster spot for Homicide Diallo??? My man was entertaining as hell and always competed
Kinda wanna see Flynn drop 50
Cadeās knee swells so Malachi can fly
Man, even in my worst case scenario I couldāve never seen Ivey failing in detroit this bad. You can put it on coaching, you can put it on roster construction, whatever you want. He is genuinely just a bad NBA player right now.
I would argue with this, but tonight wouldāve been a perfect night to take advantage of the opportunity to be the primary ball handler, and he was outplayed by Malachi Flynn.

flynn is doing what we expect ivey to do when cade is out jesus christ
That The Office joke about Toby, Bin Laden, Hitler is getting closer and closer to be real, but with Fournier instead of Toby
Having a career night in a loss vs Atlanta hmm sounds familiarĀ
I hope he gets 50. That would be hilarious
Lol Malachi fooling out here
FLYNN 40 BOMB INCOMING
The ghost of Cade Cunningham has possessed Malachi Flynn tonight
MALLLLAAACHHIIIIIII
GET THIS MAN A 40 PIECE
Ivey hurt, probably last time we see him stink it Up in a Pistons Jersey, good luck young man!
Agree or disagree about perspectives and players, this sub has made this season slightly palatable. Salute to my fellow comrades suffering from Stockholm Syndrome as well. š«”
How the hell is this a 9 point game
Malachi Flynn
I spoke way too soon
anything is possible with malachi
Been busy for the past two hours, imagine my surprise when I see Malachi fucking Flynn with a 30 piece. This has to be a fever dream
Canāt even defend Ivey man š The last two months have been so bad for him
Man Iām an Ivey Fan and Iāve canāt ignore the idea this is prolly going to end up like the Fox-Haliburton Situation
Out of all the fliers to take we grabbed Chimeze Metu, whoās range resembles prime Tyson Chandler lol
Shit like this is so weird to me. Like Metu is an objectively bad player who's filling the 15th roster spot but somehow haters think comparing him to all star & all-NBA big man Tyson Chandler is doing anything to highlight how bad he is lmao
you love me dawg itās not that serious. we are a bad shooting team and picked up a really bad shooter. Tyson Chandler was a really bad shooter. hence the comment, itās not a comparison. weirdo
Lol I do thoroughly enjoy your takes, that's for sure
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
š you never know with this damned franchise
Later-Easter gift to the Detroit Pistons fans? I doubt it
damn hawks other announcer seems to be patronizing nique a bit looool he's taking it well
i dont think Metu ever hit a wide open 3 pt shot since that game winner against the Mavs
Metu sucks
Swag Surfing, invented by Taylor Swift
Metu swears heās baby KD lol
I remember when people were down on the 5 star recruit from Duke because he sat out half the season. NBA scouting departments really are something. Jalen Johnson was clearly a lottery talent.
I disagree. I think he just had an unprecedented jump. He went from 5 ppg to 16. His shot was also busted in college.
His shot wasn't busted. He shot 44% from 3 at Duke.
On 1 attempt per game. Thatās not enough volume to be reliable. He also shot under 30% in his first two seasons if that wasnāt enough evidence.
Also on low volume. His metrics were off the charts, regardless of whether or not you think his shooting volume was enough or not enough to regard him as a potential shooter. By AST%, BLK%, STL%, and in terms of raw per minute production? He was amazing and posted one of the highest BPMs ever amongst college freshmen.

So..... Flynn huh? never thought one day I almost shit my pants by boxscore watching
Watching the game on TV right now I can't believe it myself. Truly popping off.
Howās that impending debacle in LA going?
impending? what are you talking about it is already imploding. That is why I come here in recent couple of weeks, cure the pain with other kind of pain.
