Get a point guard who knows how to take care of the ball.. get cade off the ball.. his bonehead and lazy passes will be there until he retires
I am The 1#KuKahilfan
They can’t fix this man only way is to trade for a star
Blame Monty,
I told yall. he wasnt the issue.
Its the Core 4 yall love so much.
Not much production out of the front line. I hope they trade Stewart and Sasser for a productive big.
Tobias Harris don’t play for the pistons he plays for NBA FANDUEL🤣
I’ve never seen a guy average 27/8/6 with 2 stocks and I’m somehow more frustrated. Cade is giving us borderline superstar production for 3 quarters, but folds every time in the 4th. The path for superstardom has never been clearer, he just needs to deliver.
No rim protection on the front line, lack of scoring from the front line, they will need to upgrade.
Tobias off to his worse start since his rookie season you know why? Look at the set up with him being worth plus money on an over 13.5 of course he going to struggle because it was already part of the FanDuel plot to make a profit
My point is don’t get overly upset by what’s going on for the most part it’s out of the players hands FanDuel run this game sorry to break the bad news🤣
Cade is a microwave miscast as an engine. Pistons can’t be regular bad, they are fatally flawed while bad.
Man u are strong i could not sit and make content on this team 🫡
This is horrible. Perimeter defense is bad, turnovers are bad, no interior defense, rebounding is horrible. It’s crazy that Cade had a perfect game the first half and we just couldn’t do anything with that. I hope we can beat Philly but something tells me Drummond is going to kill us
But they said he was tired at the end of the game🤔
Same as last year. Had a lead in the 4th, couldn't finish. Maybe Cade and Ivey are scarred from last year, maybe not, but they're losers. The team folds when it matters most. They'll win if they have an insurmountable lead with 5 min left. Ausar doesn't solve this problem. Cade is really good, but he's not a leader. They need a leader to bring confidence.
Everyone comes here and forget how to shoot except in recent years Bojan
As much as I like Cade, the turnover and disappearance in the fourth quarter must change. Tobias is brutal, and I don't see him stepping up at all. The Pistons need a defensive stretch big man and find a new home for Duren and Stew. This is unbelievable!
We need to switch Tobias and fronttechio role both a play better also need to get fulks we need a 3 Ball handler that take care of the ball can defend wont take too many shots or ill-advised shots he cheap still young a need got perfect shooting coach for him also need to play sasser and Paul Reed they true hoopers they can help
I have never seen anything like this in the 4th quarter from any team. Also can we please let stew pick and pop! Defenses are just collapsing on cade and Ivey on the rolls
Start Holland
It starts at the top and with you media guys… STOP saying Cade had a great game when he's disappeared each 4th quarter so far, turned the ball over incessantly, and lags back on defense afterwards.
They should start Ron Holland, there’s no chance of making the Play-In so might as well get the rookie a ton of experience.
Thj been playing solid defense
