Cade Cunningham & the Pistons Are TOUGH | ALL NBA Podcast
The Detroit Pistons have the leagues 2nd best defense and are as tough physically as any team in the NBA. Cade Cunningham isn’t an ordinary superstar. He controls the game as well as anyone not named Shai, Jokic, or Luka. They are built for the NBA’s new era, with length, athleticism, and physicality that teeters on the edge of fouling on every possession. But do they have enough shooting? Tim Legler and Adam Mares share thoughts on the thrilling game between the Pistons and Nuggets. Plus, Tim Legler picks his dream 3-point contest contestants.

Yea, OKC’s Hartenstein calf strain…miss him badly
JB needs to keep Ausar in the game when there’s 4 minutes left and it’s a close game. Murray was shut down until JB pulled Ausar with 4min to go.
I would love pass winners vs current winners just to see how it would go
Detroit defense reminds me of Pistons of old… we have our own style
I love the idea of Jaylon Tyson in the 3pt contest that kid is a flamethrower! Great shout Legs
56:30 I love this idea, I’d pick DeMar DeRozan to win that
Calf strains don't lead to A. tendon injury. However, a calf strain can indicate a lot of stress is being placed on the whole calf Achilles complex. (It's also possible a strain to the tendon or muscle-tendon boundary is not completely diagnosed or not completely and properly reported as a "calf strain.")
It is related but maybe not so close as people might think lately in which the next progression after calf strain is always Achilles tendon rupture.

This is a great podcast, but I've lost interest in the NBA. The Warriors and Curry got me interested, but it's turned into traveling, one man shows, and "stars" who only play offense (though it's hard to play defense anymore)
Nuggets have won 9 of 15 without Jokic. Adam "I think they're .500" cmon man no way this show has taken you this far out of the loop with the Nuggets
Would put Murray, MPJ and Tre Johnson in the 3pt instead of Jokic, Wemby and Tyson. People have said MPJ has outshot Curry in workouts and Tre more than lives up to his name. Dude makes logo shots frequently.
I know it’s prob bc we all wanna see him in the DUNK contest but Anthony Edwards should def be in the 3pt shooting contest. ESP over Jokic or Wemby as fun as those picks are too!
Champagnie from the Spurs has to be in the 3 point contest
So beating a completely crippled team–down 4 starters–by 2 points makes you 'tough?' What alternative universe are you in? The real story of that game is a team completely devasted by injuries pushed a supposedly 'elite' team to the brink. The Nuggets at full strength win that game by 20.
I’m pretty sure Wemby is 7’7”
Call me biased as a Rockets fan, but Reed Sheppard made the Rising Stars team for the 2nd year in a row. I think he’d give any of the guys you named a run for their money in the 3pt contest.
As a diehard, Detroit Pistons fan, I am in full agreement with Adam. The lack of consistent three point shooting on that team is a real concern. Duncan is our only guy that can hit from deep with any type of consistency. Like any other shooter, though, he is going to have cold nights here and there. That’s when we need at least one, ideally two more guys that can be relied upon. Jaden Ivy, has actually been pretty good on his catch and shoot.3’s over the last week or two. We really miss Malik Beasley‘s volume three-point shooting this season, but even he went cold for us last year in the playoffs. I’m really conflicted about whether the team should try to make a move or not before the trade deadline, because a good part of the reason why they have been doing so well, is their chemistry, and cohesiveness. Since they are ahead of schedule, I feel like they should probably ride it out with this group and see how far it can go, and if it doesn’t work out this year, then they can try and make some big moves in the off-season. ….. I really would like to have more shooting on this group though.
Seriously? Legs FAKE TEETH are beyond 🎉 Clown looking. 😂
Lol did Legler just say Cade didn't have the kind of burst that SGA has? Cade is the most athletic of that group of players mentioned
Murray missing those damn free throws was absolute justice for 2 bullshit phantom foul calls by the blind refs in this game 😂
9-6 is their record without Jokic
Jokic WILL NOT come back until he’s missed enough games to NOT be MVP. That puts him back on Saturday or Sunday
Cade’s not calm… he’s blazed af and apathetic. Too cool for school.
2 bad calls at the end. Detroit with no timeouts to challenge them… that’s why Legs has never seen that happen before… it shouldn’t have happened
No one is 100% on free throws… especially under the gun.
Bobby P will move the needle for Detroit! He fits Pistons basketball style of play.. MPj whole style (no defense) doesn't fit.. Besides he has bricks as feet..
Can legs do an “All Hair on Fire” 1st team and an “All Cool as a Cucumber” 1st team ?
Detroit was my pick to win the East before the season started and it was all because of their defense.
I doubt the NBA will clear Beasley before the end of the season but he said he would return to Detroit even after losing the lucrative pay day he was going to get. If he was able to get back to Detroit this season he would solve their 3pt shooting numbers.
If by some miracle he was reinstated before the trade deadline the Pistons could move to favorites to win a championship because they could land a top talent because Beasley would make it easier to move a young player teams would want in a deal.
Batum is a sneaky fun candidate for the 3pt contest. He does his signature “no dip” shot (extremely fast release) plus the all star weekend will be on the Clippers home court. And we can all scream and shout “why is Batum in??”
3:15 it's nike
Lfg 🎉
Pistons
Vinny Johnson also shot like that
Need Anthony Edwards in the 3 point contest
Nice to see National media start to get the Pistons outside of the stats
Those last two fouls on Murray, was that the competition committee, trying to through Denver a bone? Lame. Yes, they don’t make volume 3’s. Yet, what about points in the paint? How are they doing there? And, of course, the whole Beasley thing has hindered them literally being the best team in the league! You add that guy to that roster with his volume forget it!
Can we please start calling Ron Holland "Ronny Hustle??"
