The Detroit Pistons suffer a 16-point loss to the Boston Celtics in what was the worst game of Cade Cunningham’s season. Cunningham has to play better, however, Dwane Casey has to put his #1 overall pick in better situations.

STOP SWITCHING EVERYTHING!!!!!
I don't know, I just think the Celtics are one of the better teams in the NBA and they got really hot…especially Tatum and Brown…while the Pistons started out old on Boston's court. Duren, Ivey, and Killian all had good games. Cade did have his worst game of the season but I partly blame Casey since they really don't run much of an offense. It was all one on one with zero passing and no flow at all.
CASEY GOT TO GO!!
Agree, I saw the same thing , stew is a liability on offense and should not be put in sets with Cade in pick and roll. He’s Not a lob or shooting threat at all. Other teams aren’t guarding stew. Bagley when healthy needs to start with Cade. Dialo can’t shoot , only good for energy, like you said similar to stew ain’t nobody guarding dialo either. I’m still trying to figure out what is our offensive system, a lot of 1v1 and not many easy buckets or ball movement. Killian played well , how you feel about his new shooting form ?
Always love your honest passion, Ku
It’s everyone else fault Cade didn’t play well?
You cannot be biased with Cade even after 1-11 shooting
I agree, Diallo is trash. I have despised watching him almost every game this season. For every good hustle play he makes he makes 3 bone head plays. His lack of shooting cripples our offense as much as Bojan's defense cripples our defense. Burks and Bagley can't get back soon enough. If Casey does not start 2 bigs when Bagley is healthy and continues to give Diallo minutes then I will be fully on the fire Casey bandwagon. His coaching has been completely unacceptable this season.
As far as cade struggles today. Great job by Boston and there coaching staff for there scouting report and defense schemes on how to limit cade and make him take the shots you want. Horrible job by the pistons and there coaching staff for not planning away to get cade open and, get some easier shots to find a rhythm against this tuff Boston defense. You can't tell me by now you don't know what these teams are throwing at him now. I know he can create of the dribble but can you help him out a little. Can your bigs set some double screen actions to get him some cleaner looks. I know he is frustrated with having to go against all these double and triple teams every single night.
It's crazy to me how you say they shouldn't play Hami but you wanna give Hayes all the run in the world.. Ill take Hami 10 times out of 10 over Hayes… He's a much better player
Bottom line Bogdonavic is feeling himself to much now. Cade needs to get a pick, and roll on every possession. Bogdonavic can't even set a screen, and play defense. His offense is negated by his horrible defense. No one was setting picks for Cade, and Casey didn't demand them to. It's time for Casey to go now. His rotations are exactly the same no matter the situation, or how they're playing, and it's hurting the team.
Just wanna say i think you're by far the best host to a Locked on NBA podcast i've seen, Ku. Appreciate the passion and mental stamina it takes to watch all these games possession by possession and have insights that you can say with your full chest without coming off as arrogant. Keep up the good work dude.
Appreciate the detail breakdown of why the offense look so consistantly bad.
