This week in Pistons talk
The shows spent the week marveling at the Pistons' opening night comeback against Boston, where they erased a 22-point deficit with a huge fourth-quarter run. Beyond the win, the talk keeps coming back to whether the roster can sustain this level, with hosts debating Ausar Thompson's shooting reluctance and whether Detroit might look to add a secondary creator if they decide to make a push.
