5 consecutive wins to reach first place in the Eastern Conference! The two averaged 44 points, 17 rebounds and 11 assists per game, a replica of the Postman combination.

On November 8, the NBA regular season continued. In a game that was not noticed by everyone, the Pistons defeated the Nets 125-107. In this game, the Nets' Porter did his best. He scored 28 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists. Trae Young had previously predicted that Porter would average 25+ per game this season. As of now, although it is not yet at this level, it is very close. Since the start of the game, he has averaged 23 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists per game.

The Pistons were able to win today thanks to their duo. In this campaign, Cunningham scored 34 points, 1 rebound, 10 assists and 1 steal. In this game, he scored 14 points in a single quarter in the third quarter, eliminating the suspense of the game. Duren scored 30 points, 11 rebounds and 3 steals on 11 of 14 shots, destroying the Nets inside. In addition, Orsa Thompson scored 14 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, and LeVert scored 10 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists.

After winning, the Pistons won 5 consecutive games. In addition to the Bulls' loss to the Bucks today, the Pistons now ranked first in the Eastern Conference with a record of 7 wins and 2 losses. Before the start of the game, many fans probably did not expect that the Pistons would be so strong. Although they made it to the Eastern Conference playoffs last season, Bliss left. Under such circumstances, the team's offense seems to be affected, but having a ball-carrying core of Cunningham's level is destined to have a high lower limit.

A top ball-carrying core, he can not only provide stable personal output, but also use his passing to drive the team well. Cunningham averaged 25.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, 9.7 assists, 1 steal, and 0.8 blocks per game this season. His shooting rate is as high as 46%. He ranks 13th in the league in points per game and third in the league in assists. Who is the first point guard in the East now? Is it Brunson, Maxi, or Cunningham? It's hard to say.

Although Beasley is gone, Cunningham can still find trustworthy helpers. Now he passes less to outside shooters and starts to play pick-and-roll with Duren. This has also activated Duren. I think many fans have heard of this. He is called a little monster with excellent athletic ability, good at dunking, and has a certain ability to break through with the ball. Under Cunningham's feeding, Duren has completely taken off this season.

In addition to scoring 30+10 in this game, he scored a large double-double of 22 points and 22 rebounds against the Jazz in the last game, and scored 33 points and 10 rebounds against the Mavericks. Since the start of the game, Duren has averaged 19.2 points, 11.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.2 blocks per game. His field goal percentage is as high as 64.3%. He is sixth in the league in field goal percentage and rebounds. He is also very good at secondary offense. This season, Duren ranks first in the league in secondary offense average of 4.8 points per game.

The two can combine to average 44.8 points, 17 rebounds, 11.3 assists, 1.9 steals and 2 blocks per game. What level does this duo look like in the league? Although there may still be a gap between them and the top duo in the league, they are only 21 and 24 years old, and they are far from reaching their peak age. Now the Pistons can build a team around them and find suitable helpers for them, so that the team will be a strong team in the Eastern Conference for many years to come.

This pairing is easily reminiscent of Harden and Capela, Paul and DeAndre Jordan, Stockton and Malone, and Duren was fed by Cunningham. However, compared to Capela and DeAndre Jordan, Duren's offensive ability may be stronger. If the two of them run a pick-and-roll, Duren can take advantage of the situation. If the opponent's defensive switch is delayed, Cunningham may get an opportunity to score easily. Their pick-and-roll has become the Pistons' big killer. When talking about pick-and-roll, it is easy to think of the postman combination.

The rise of the Pistons can be said to be very inspiring. In 2023, they were still last in the league. At that time, the team also suffered an embarrassing 28-game losing streak. As a result, the team began to rise last year. Their young players began to realize their talents, such as Cunningham, Duren, Ivey, and this season Orsa and Holland also began to realize their talents. This team is very similar to the Thunder. They relied on their own draft and experienced the darkest period, and the team became successful.

The relationship between Cunningham and Duren is still very good. Cunningham had previously inspired Duren. He said: I have always told people that Duren is my favorite big man in the league. At only 21 years old, there is indeed a lot of room for improvement.

Duren said in a previous interview: I am still far from my peak, and the same is true for Cunningham. I think Cunningham will become the strongest point guard in the league. I hope the Pistons can keep the two of them for a long time. If they continue to play together, they may become a classic combination of an era, allowing the Pistons to rebuild their previous glory.
