Beef Stew and Hamidou: A 1-2 punch that evokes Pistons history stands out in loss to Blazers

Bing and Lanier. Isiah and Joe D. Rip and Chauncey.

The Pistons have had their fair share of potent 1-2 punches over their rich history. Maybe the next dynamic duo is Beef Stew and Hamidou.

That would be Isaiah Stewart and Hamidou Diallo and if their performance can live up to their alliteration, the marketing campaign will write itself. One thing they both possess in abundance – a quality that Pistons fans with any sense of history will adore – is a take-no-prisoners approach from one baseline to the other.

They were part of a Pistons bench unit that scored more than half – 51 of 101 – of the Pistons points in their 124-101 loss to Portland, a game that was a lot closer than the final score.
