from Locked On Pistons - Daily Podcast On The Detroit Pistons · host Locked On Podcast Network

Detroit Pistons crush Charlotte Hornets behind Cade Cunningham’s stunning triple-double—are we witnessing an MVP-level leap? Ku Khahil explores how Cunningham’s improvements in turnovers, isolation scoring, and free-throw rate have propelled Detroit to the top of the Eastern Conference. With Jalen Duren and Ausar Thompson making defensive headlines and Duncan Robinson’s elite shooting silencing critics, the Pistons’ recipe for success grows more convincing each week.Key topics include the ongoing dilemma in the guard rotation between Caris LeVert and Jaden Ivey, whose on-court chemistry is holding Detroit back in key moments. With a daunting Western road trip ahead, roster decisions loom large: will the front office shake up the lineup or pursue potential trades? Ku Khahil delivers deep statistical insights and asks whether this young Pistons core, led by a rejuvenated Cunningham, is ready for long-term contention.EVERYDAYER CLUB: lockedonpistons.supercast.comSUBSTACK: kukhahil.substack.comEverydayer Club  If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
