Nobody talks about the Pistons, but they could well surprise in such a special season. The reason ? The return of Blake Griffin at 100% and the expected progression of Sekou Doumbouya. Besides, the two seem to be best friends, and it’s a pleasure to see.
The Pistons have not won a playoff game since 2008, a number that hurts for a franchise with such a beautiful and glorious history. Still, it’s not for lack of trying. Executives try to draft intelligently, and they don’t hesitate to get active in the transfer market.
Moreover, the workforce at Dwane Casey’s disposal is quite interesting with a nice mix of experience and youth, despite a certain lack of depth. Still, before his numerous injuries Blake Griffin was a hell of a player, Derrick Rose has regained his legs in Detroit, and the French duo Killian Hayes / Sekou Doumbouya could hurt.
And D-Rose and the # 7 of the last draft quickly got closer, it is the same for the interior and the winger. Griffin and Sekou Doumbouya are very close, and they gave us a superb streak full of complicity before the meeting against the Wizards during the preseason. Monsters !
PTDRRRRRRRR

“We monsters”. How to blame Blake Griffin and Sekou Doumbouya when we see their looks? They are strong, fast, jump high, very high … For the common people, they are indeed monsters. It’s up to them to live up to their new nickname on the pitch. The Frenchman is in any case on the right track.

Usually, when a foreigner wants to learn French, he starts by asking for a few swear words, just to get in the mood. Blake Griffin preferred him learn to say “us monsters”, history of intimidating the league.
