In context
LoweAnd now the East is so much better that that's, let's say, they're 52.
LoweLike, it's not impossible to see that
Mahoneyhappening.
MahoneyI think especially if you're talking about not just regular season results, but playoff quality. Like who are the teams that we're really going to trust by the end of the year? I think it's perfectly realistic that the Pistons are not in the top six of that group. Even if they do have, let's say another, another season where they, they win in the mid fifties, that would be a really nice result for them under the circumstances.
MahoneyBut I'm, I'm kind of, I'm still waiting for a lot of things from them. Like we have the proof of concept of who they can be as a regular season juggernaut in the context of last year.
MahoneyI want to see them make life easier for Cade in ways that they have struggled to do. Like it's, it's nice that he can carry the weight for so many people that he can be that sort of ball dominant primary playmaker, high pick and roll usage. It's a really fun style to watch.
MahoneyAnd like seeing his ascent in it has been great.
