The Pistons Are Tough to Watch: Who Needs to Step Up, What is Wrong with the Team, Should Jerami Grant Get Traded, and Christmas Day Predictions!

The Pistons Have Been Losing. A lot. We talk about what has gone wrong, and players who we think need to step up now that Jerami Grant and Cade Cunningham are out. We discuss the possibility of Killian Hayes moving to the bench and if the Pistons were to to trade Jerami Grant, what trade would we like to see them make. To wrap it up, we give our predictions for the Christmas Day Games! I would also like to give my apology to Trey Lyles who I was quite critical of in this episode. He played a phenomenal game against the Heat, and hopefully we see more in the future!
