In this week's episode of Inside The Cylinder, we discuss Detroit's 4-10 start to the season. Detroit's lost a ton of "winnable" games, and are coming off a twenty point blowout loss to the Chicago Bulls - who many had predicted would miss the playoffs this season. It's their second loss of the season to the Bulls, and their fifth loss to expected lottery teams.

Where do they go from here? Detroit's in a tough situation when it comes to a rebuild for a variety of reasons, but does that mean they should continue with this team as is?

And what would a rebuild even look like? Soft rebuild? Blow this mother f'er up? We'll take a look at what Detroit can, and should do moving forward from here.

Blake Griffin is back in the lineup (on a minutes restriction) and the Pistons dropped three winnable games in a row. Team leaders have sensed frustration regarding overall effort and Dwane Casey continues to struggle with a makeshift rotation.

We make sense of this familiar mess and answer your questions in these week's mailbag. Do we need to hit the panic button at the point guard position? Should we make a trade? And what the hell is wrong with this defense?

All that and more in this week's episode!

The roster is set and Christian Wood is officially a Piston! We take a deeper look at the intricacies of finalizing our roster spots and share our thoughts on Wood.

Several other key players were either off the court for a large portion of preseason or didn't show us much. Blake Griffin has been sidelined with hamstring soreness - cause for concern? Also, did Reggie regress or is that a symptom of overanalyzing the preseason?

All that and more in this week's episode!
