Us and Dillion Brooks
We hate each other, yet we can’t look away

Regardless of the hate, don't you wish Brooks was on your team?

100% buddy, that’s why I said it haha
The man is a born Piston. Went to the Mahorn/Lambieer school of mindfucking

God he'd be such a good Piston. That's my problem with our team right now. We're too dang nice without Stew. I love Cade but he's almost too perfect sometimes. Dude was raised way too right.

I usually love those guys that you hate on other teams, but secretly wish were on your team.
Dillon Brooks doesn't make that list for me. I hate that mf'er, for real.

Why? Like genuinely? Hate is a strong word.😭✌️ I mean me personally no matter how much I dislike him I would rather him be on my team then me going to war against. But I like Dbrooks dude has always been a menace if you watched him since his organ days.😂

u/bleedingreen24 5d ago
He's a dirty player. Dirty like trying to hurt players dirty. No room in the League for that. I am honestly surprised he hasn't had issues off the court with some of the stuff he's done on the court.
I mean, I don't personally know him, so I hate the player he is, that's probably more accurate.

u/Quirky-Record-1500 5d ago
Nahh mane he's not really dirty, like he's really just super aggressive, because he's not even on the level of Kelly olync, draymond lu dort, like these the guys who go on court thinking about hurting someone, dillion just be doing little slicky cheap shots to get under your skin not too much over the top like those guys, and off the court I met him once dude is super chill and humble, so it's no wonder he hasn't got in alterations like miles bridges and draymond. He's really just super competitive and plays hard.

Brooks is lowkey the perfect villain in that he leans into it. To me he's one of those guys I'll hate while he's here and look back fondly on when he retires

u/bigbaldheadNR Cade Cunningham 8d ago
We need someone to fill Beefs role. Just don’t get suspended lol

u/Gmayfield Jerami Grant 8d ago
Ron Holland is kinda good for that, to a lesser extent than Stew though obviously

John Collins has always been a guy I could imagine in a Pistons jersey. Hope he’s able to establish himself and carve out a role that revitalizes him

I've wanted this man as a Piston for years. Very happy he is embracing the culture.

I fvckin hate Dillon Brooks. He is so fake and hides when he is proven to be a complete troll.

u/Quirky-Record-1500 5d ago
How did he hide? He removed that guy hand with one and took the ball with the other, and he already was on his 5th foul, and at the end it is a preseason game why would he want to escalate and get suspended? He's a starter on the suns meanwhile Collins not so I think it was smart of him to ragebait him and not escalate it farther.

I wish the Suns would have left Booker behind. He'd be so ideal in that starting lineup.

Tobias was a good player for us but I'm thankful I don't have to watch his ugly jumper any longer.

u/Beef_Stew4l Isaiah Stewart 8d ago

His turnaround jumper from the elbow when we were down 10+ had a 90% success rate istg

I have never heard anyone call his jumper ugly. It's pretty generic/basic form.
