A Pistons Group Therapy Session I The Pindown

Happy Thanksgiving! ... Our Pistons have lost 12 games in a row, and the guys have questions. Through 14 games, we don’t really know much more about the core young players on this team than we did before the season started — and that’s a shame. Questions this week focused on Cade Cunningham’s ability to be the number 1 guy, if Jaden Ivey will continue to start moving forward, and if a guy like Zach LaVine is a good fit for this team right now.

I enjoy your insights but the podcast is difficult to listen to in the car. The volume of your voices fluctuates to much. I feel like I miss some of comments because you voices are so low. If I turn it up, it's to loud when you talk at other times. Any way to standardize the volume? I don't have this problem with other podcasts.
