I like the format but I think there’s a lot of empty space. Not sure if it was intentional though if not I’d maybe expand the TV or play into the theme more by adding 90’s basketball elements. Maybe some retro jersey’s, old posters. Keep up the content! ✊🏿
Make the font on the text fit totally within the TV and maybe put an effect over it to make it look like it’s on a CRT TV and you probably have a solid format.
Fr he’s actually a genius, guaranteed contract for big bucks, do a poor job, no one blames you, you continue to get paid and will likely get another hc job on another team
@@michaelbenham3603fr, seeing Killian starting for the first few months of the season, there's no way Monty is trying to win games with him playing the bulk of the PG minutes.
Couple notes. I love the camcorder being used. That combined with your personality and lo-fi beats just make listening to your videos so easy. Second off I've never really had a "team" in the NBA. If I had to pick a team it would be SA because I loved me some Tim Duncan. I won’t say the Pistons will be "my team" but I am gaining a new appreciation of them through you.
The bar for Detroit to improve from last year is remarkably low, at this rate they just need to get at least 15 wins while competing against the likes of Washington, Toronto and even the Nets. BTW I do appreciate using older hardware to replicate a classic look than just using some effects in post. I've thought about using my dad's old 80's camcorder and doing a VHS-to-digital conversion for something.
15 wins would still be embarrassingly bad as it would almost certainly earn them a last place finish for the 3rd year in a row. I think they need to finish with 25 wins or more. That'd be their best season since 2018/2019.
The Washed Wizards will be a massive bar to clear for failure, especially if they successfully trade Kuzma If the Pistons fail to get at least 24 wins this season they should seriously consider a massive swing to completely retool the team
2:35 if you are gonna rock with the VHS tape vibe, maybe instead of green screen, do just like a picture in picture to complete the whole VFX. Either way, I'm glad to hear Detroit Basketball is going back on the upward tragetory haha
Nah if Monty Williams had a hand full of yellow cards and put down a Wild, he would say the new color is Pink. That’s how much the man just straight up didn’t play the game.
Also Harris, Beasley, Hardaway, Paul Reed, Fontecchio, Moore is such a solid group of experienced players that fit needs on and off the court. Reed in particular feels like he could be a Stewart replacement down the line.
Watched Bobi Klintman a bunch of times in the NBL(everyone here jsut called him Bobby) and he looked like a hell of a prospect. Streaky 3 shooter but his confidence made me think he'll improve a lot, same as his defense.. and dude is just a mega athlete. Good 2nd round pick for sure, wouldn't be surprised if he becomes a better option than Ausar within a yr or two
There was a good buzz about Jalen Duran to start the year last year with some analysts thinking the pistons could make some noise potentially making the play in. Monty definitely deserves some criticism
Monty Williams was put in the cushiest job in the world. All he had to do was to make a bad team just a little bit better and give all of his young talent a thorough examination by playing them a lot. It seems as if that chore was too difficult for Monty who didn't want to put in the guys that were going to be the future of the team. Monty took the job for the money and then decided he was too good to be in charge of such a crappy team. Troy Weaver didn't help things either. I do like the Simone Fontecchio move though.😊
i wish you showed how bad lonzo's shot was before he went to NOLA. its honestly criminal. if ausar or holland can make open 3's next year, it completely changes our trajectory. langdon has made some smart moves. im trying very hard to not be excited for next season until i see the product on the court.
@@kingcartrell4554 tobais and thj been linked to pistons since (he probably would of gotten both cheaper) last year troy fs would of drafted same two players resigned fronttechio and most likely gotten same coach and Jonas v instead of Paul
The volume shooter comment reminds me that Alec Burks had to be the guy a few times last year lol damn. His Detroit year makes me think of the Ricky Davis Celtics year.
Honestly I think its totally on ownership for continuing to pursue Monty last year. Diehard Pistons fan here but he explicitly said he needed time off and we should have believed him. His wife was battling with cancer, but he had no choice but to move because the amount of money on the table didnt make sense to turn down. His mind was other places and the constant losing and now having one of the worst records possible for a coach is something that is going to haunt him. The losses affected him a lot, you could see the emotion on him. A lot of our coaching issues obviously came from him, but I dont blame him that much. I genuinely wish him the best.
Yeah I think this year is still going to be rough, but with the contracts all being 2 years or less and adding the 5th overall pick in this upcoming draft, we should at least be salvageable.
I’ve been thinking about potential deals the Kings could make to add a burly bench 4/5 to go alongside Sabonis and Isaiah Stewart comes to mind. So Kofie how would you feel about a Stewart for Huerter trade?
Great camera and great point w/the spurs. My thought the entire season was thank god for the pistons and Wemby, otherwise our fan base would’ve gone in flames.
1st time on your page man, im a lifelong pistons fan of over 30 years. I can't believe I am happy with the moves they have made, especially considering the state of our franchise! Awesome video sir, i will absolutely be subbing!!
I like the new camera! however i think it looks a little goofy with the green screen. you should use it when u do a set up like your woj vs shams video, w a natural background (i really liked the style of that vid). still sick camera tho love the switch up.
sorry, but tobias harris doesn’t “attempt a lot of 3 pointers” alongside malik and tim. tobias needs touches that end up in pump fakes off the 3pt line into post ups too far away into weak short fadeaways. that’s an evolution of his game from his detroit days we got to enjoy for the last 5+ years in philly
I’m not gonna lie, Kofie, I agree with what you’re saying on Monty Williams, but I find it interesting that you take that route there but when the Lakers and Darvin ham, it’s not that route? And yeah, I do get that Rob, and the front office are definitely to blame as well, that being said, I just don’t think the Lakers are in the worst spot even with the West getting better, like I do think Darvin ham costed the Lakers a couple games and they won in spite of him which was like 47 wins, and I could only imagine, heck if they had gone 500 in that stretch where I think they were like five and 11 after winning the season tournament, if they go like 500 there they’re probably not a play in team, and they probably don’t face Denver in the first round.
Is this going to make us win more than 30 games? No, not likely. Will it help with some semblance of roster construction, and give a base for future success, particularly if Ron Holland can develop and improve his jump shot? Yes, and for now, that is exactly what we want.
screw camera effects anyway! i hate when people try to add a VHS effect to video or a film effect to digital photos. JUST SHOOT ON FILM ITS SO EASY!!! thank you for doing the right thing Kof
Man as a kings fan I feel you media loves to give advice on teams they don’t watch and make outrageous claims that don’t even make sense if you actually watch
Don’t get me wrong the floor spacing from there young guys outside of Cade is concerning, but they have a super talented group of guys. Not to mention, the Vets they have now are good floor spacers and floor raisers. Genuinely a solid roster
Detroit’s a small market, if they do anything in free agency they’re always going to have to spend more money than other teams. Especially since no one wants to willingly go there.
If the Pistons are able to even make the play in it will be considered our most successful season in 10+ years. That’s what the fans want, not another 50+ losing season where we compete in most games but collapse in the 4th and lose
The new camera is awesome! Gives your channel an authentic unique look.
LET ME KNOW IF YOU ROCK WITH THE NEW THUMBNAIL STYLE
I rock with the new thumbnail style.
Format it better and you got it

i like the feel of the new camera kofie really emphasizes the last time detroit pistons was relevant early 2000's vibes
It really does look like he’s reporting from 2005 “HD” lol
Like, this is something we just experienced in Sacramento. For the first time in twenty years, we're actually a team that people *want* to play for.
Id slow your roll a little about people wanting to play for Detroit lol. They just have money rn.
@@abscinding Nah, I mean people want to play for the Kings now.
The camera adds alot of character for the couch setting. Very vintage and it does add that aged look naturally!
And now B-Ball Paul too!
im ngl i love the camcorder look and i think it helps you stand out amongst other nba youtubers and also i think it fits ur vibe really well
If Monty was playing Uno, he would try to play the wrong color and number every time and hope nobody calls him out on it
Also Harris, Beasley, Hardaway, Paul Reed, Fontecchio, Moore is such a solid group of experienced players that fit needs on and off the court. Reed in particular feels like he could be a Stewart replacement down the line.
They absolutely signed Reed to be Beef Stew’s replacement lol

Heard it here first, the Detroit Pistons will not being finishing in last place for the 3rd year in a row! 25+ wins incoming!
Pistons fan through and through they’ll get it together just like the Detroit Lions did all it takes is a good office. Upper management is the key.
Love the camcorder! I feel you on the vhs effects in premiere they are hell on a slower computer XD
Best example of Fred’s influence is with Brandon Ingram. Had one of the biggest shooting jumps ever when he landed in NO.
It makes a ton of sense to use the VHS filter on pre-HD sports history. (eg. 2004 Pistons, the Moneyball Oakland Athletics, 1993 Nuggets, etc)
I dont mind the home camera vibe. Im a nineties kid. I grew up antennas and hunderd pound floor model tvs.
I ROCK WITH THE CAMERA 🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨

Trajan has done more in three weeks than Troy did in his final two years.
Beasley only move Troy wouldn't of done
That’s not true stop exaggerating.

Bless you for watching 60 Pistons games. That had to be tough. The team should be better this year.
I’m so mad Utah sent Fontecchio away. Super underrated player.
Weaver was clueless.

What troy Weaver did to the Pistons should be considered a war crime
Yep.

The new camera is super cool, I'm a big fan
Woah the aesthetic of ur vids are so cohesive. Good stuff man, i dont know anything about the pistons but its making me want to watch
Call that new thumbnail style Mark, cause we’re rockin with it
I knew they’d figure it out around Cade slowly but surely!!
Love the new camera
I love the new camera style
Great content! Not gonna lie though, the vid being shot on a camcorder definitely pushed me to sub. What a perfect vibe
