What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Neil Dalal @NeilDalal96
Kyle Kuzma joked about Deni Avdija’s career-high 15 rebounds, “only because I was playing the 5 and I had to box out [Isaiah] Stewart all night. That’s the only reason he got 15, but I’ll take it. Good job, Deni.” pic.twitter.com/zak7PaWp4O – 12:39 AM

#Pistons Dwane Casey on Marvin Bagley III: “He’s very flexible and very versatile in the positions he can play.” – 10:09 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Casey said he loved the length Bagley has, the athleticism. “I really loved that he took a charge in one of his first plays.” Also called him flexible/versatile. – 10:09 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Casey said he liked what he saw from Bagley tonight. “He has an advantage in the post with his length and ability to finish.” Loved that he took a charge tonight, too – 10:09 PM
Rod Beard @detnewsRodBeard
#Pistons Dwane Casey on Marvin Bagley III’s debut: “I like him. He has an advantage in the post with his length around the basket…he’s a little rusty, but I like the way he plays.” – 10:09 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Casey said they left Cade on the floor to see if he could play with three fouls. Wants him to learn to play with his chest, with fouls. “I was glad to see him stay in and (make it through the game).” – 10:08 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Casey said Cunningham’s foul trouble was a factor in his shooting struggles tonight. “He had some very foolish fouls in those situations, reaching.” They left him in with three fouls to let him figure out how to play through it. – 10:08 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Dwane Casey on Detroit’s issues: “Getting stops at important times, executing in certain situations offensively. But most of all coming out of the third quarter, getting stops and having a defensive mentality even when shots aren’t falling … that’s what we have to develop.” – 10:07 PM
Rod Beard @detnewsRodBeard
#Pistons Dwane Casey: “Getting stops at important times and executing at certain times … that’s what we have to develop. As soon as we don’t score, our defensive focus (dips).” – 10:06 PM

Kuzma is looking for Corey Kispert to shoot at least 10 threes when he is on the floor. – 10:04 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Saddiq Bey said Marvin Bagley III was “aggressive” tonight. “We’re definitely going to need him and use him down the stretch.” – 10:04 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Saddiq Bey: “We tried to get more stops. When we hit a couple in a row, got in a rhythm, they answered with buckets. We needed to get stops.” – 10:04 PM

Alex Schiffer @Alex__Schiffer
The game results were much different, as were the personnel, but Seth Curry’s Nets debut is reminding me of Alize Johnson’s in Utah. Hops off the bus without a real idea of the playbook and just got to balling. Curry had a shootaround under his belt, but that’s it. – 9:07 PM

#Pistons Cade Cunningham has his 2nd foul at 4:36 1Q. Hamidou Diallo will replace him. – 7:26 PM

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (back rocking the headband) with a nice transition block against Cade Cunningham who was out in front and then sprints back cutting to the basket leading to a Deni Avdija 3 assist. – 7:25 PM

Saddiq Bey > Bay City – 7:25 PM

Strong start for Saddiq, who has eight of Detroit’s first 10 points – 7:18 PM
Rod Beard @detnewsRodBeard
Looks like #Pistons Cade Cunningham took a shot to the nose or lip, and it’s a little bloody. He’s being tended to, but he’ll stay in the game. – 7:18 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Saddiq Bey, back in the DMV, already has four shots four minutes in. He’s got 7 points and at the line for eight. – 7:17 PM

Although he won’t play, Kristaps Porzinigis is warming up. He’s hit some deep threes, fade-aways, midrange shots, and he’s moving around great. He has RANGE. – 6:12 PM

Rod Beard @detnewsRodBeard
#Pistons Dwane Casey on Marvin Bagley III: “Do I ease him in? No. He’s going into the fire.” – 5:35 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Dwane Casey on getting Marvin Bagley III up to speed: You don’t want to overload him. A lot of the same defensive terminology we use are the same he used in Sacramento with Rex (Kalamian) there. But just not overloading him.” – 5:35 PM
Rod Beard @detnewsRodBeard
#Pistons Dwane Casey on getting a new player (Bagley) up to speed: “You don’t want to overload him. A lot of the defensive terminology we use is the same as they had (in Sacramento)…you don’t want him overwhelmed in his thinking.” – 5:35 PM
Wayne Cole @waynec0le
Coach Wes Unseld Jr said the #Pistons did a good job of ” junking it up” the last time the two teams played; however, this time, the Wizards will have different personnel. – 5:31 PM

Washington D.C. is home to two historically black colleges and universities – Howard University and University of the District of Columbia.

Wayne Cole @waynec0le
I asked Coach Wes Unseld Jr about his theme of the year, “staying the course.” he said. It’s exciting and daunting.” “let’s get KP back and Gafford and see.” He alluded to having 24 games left and sounds to set his sights on making a post-season push.
#dcaboveall – 5:29 PM
Wayne Cole @waynec0le
Coach has talked to KP about spots he likes on the floor also has looked into his film from New York & Dallas to get a feel for him as well. – 5:21 PM
Chase Hughes @ChaseHughesNBCS
Wes Unseld Jr. says he hopes Kristaps Porzingis will be able to debut before the All-Star break, but he remains day-to-day with a right knee bone bruise. The Wizards have two games left after tonight before the AS break. – 5:21 PM

Neil Dalal @NeilDalal96
Through 16 games this season, Rui Hachimura is shooting 44.1 percent from 3.
Would like to see a bigger sample size than 15/34, but his form and arc certainly seem improved, which was a point of emphasis for him in years past. – 5:06 PM

“The #Pistons have 25 games to see how @Marvin Bagley talent fits, then they’ll get their time in the batter’s box in late June/early July when the draft and free agency offer gaping opportunities to further bolster the roster.”
