I told them the Pistons were pretty solid. From the box score it looks like Teague has really struggled and he's -23 on the court.
No, the Pistons are not solid.

20 points and one TO in 25 mins
Meanwhile Teague rocking a -20 +/-
God the offensive boards, pathetic effort

You're not gonna win many games giving up 23 offensive rebounds. Drummond is always going to give our small front line fits, idk why Bud didn't play Splitter more and/or have Taveras activated.

Hawks are who we thought they were. The Hawks. Nothing to see here folks.
Not to mention, these guys could go 82-0 and still get swept in first round.

Coach Bud had a massive ego. His love affair with pero is all you need to know this

By solid I mean a playoff contender. I think they're going to surprise people this year. SVG will have them in the hunt.

Their lineup is made up of role players. Drummond is the only player in their lineup that would start for basically every other team in the league.

Well that sucked, but kudos to the Pistons you outplayed us. Drummond gives our small front line fits.
Good luck this year

I'm not a Pistons fan. I live in the Atlanta area and my wife and her family are Hawks fans. I'm a Heat fan so there's a "friendly" rivalry between us and needless to say I've been talking a bit of trash to them tonight. However I like SVG as a coach and I think he'll have the pistons playing better than the sum of their parts.
Hawks are a good team though and it should be a very competitive three team race in the division.

Re: 10/27 Game Thread Detroit Pistons @ Atlanta Hawks
As a Pistons' fan, I enjoyed seeing the club get off to a solid start.
That said, Dennis Schroder wreaked some havoc out there tonight. Steve Blake carved up Atlanta's 15th string in the preseason finale on Friday (something like 12 assists in 20 minutes), then Schroder came in and just gave him nightmares tonight. I thought Schroder was going to turn the tide all by himself, d'ing up full court and whatnot then operating via pick-and-roll.

SVG is one of the most transformative coaches of the past few decades, tbh.
The Pistons have pretty marginal talent, but he'll get them to the Playoffs because his system breeds wins.
He's the man.
