Podcast: Are the Detroit Pistons REALLY Championship Contenders After the Spurs Loss?
Aaron Johnson and Jasper Apollonia debate whether the Cade Cunningham-led Pistons are true title contenders after their loss to the San Antonio Spurs.
On this episode of the Palace of Pistons Podcast, Aaron Johnson and Jasper Apollonia break down Cade Cunningham’s rise into the top-three of the NBA MVP race alongside Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Nikola Jokic. Is Cade legitimately in the mix to win the award, and what would it take for him to close the gap?
The guys also dive into Detroit’s strong 3–1 stretch coming out of the All-Star break, including the loss to the San Antonio Spurs. Did the Spurs expose something about the Pistons, or was it just one bad matchup? And most importantly — did that game change how they view Detroit’s NBA Finals ceiling?
All that and more on this episode of the Palace of Pistons Podcast.
