I'm sorry but Cade needs a legit running mate and although I like Ivey he's just not the answer. I understand that he's coming back from a serious injury but he looks lost.
This loss wasn't on Cade. It was on the bench. Even if Cade makes free throws they're down with like 3 seconds left. There's no reason for you to lose a game where your starters are all a +10 and up. Y'all know what lost us this game but don't wanna say it.
Paul Reed should've had more run, probably at the 4 with the 2nd unit, with stew. He brought in energy off the bench, unlike anyone else.
Dannis should've played more. He's not going to find his rhythm if he knows he's only going to get 7-8min in the 1st half.
The lack of effort on the defensive glass was an issue throughout the game, and even more so when the momentum was against us. It's been an issue specifically with ausar and jd on the floor together, I've noticed. They both have a tendency to go after the driver and absolutely ignore the need to get back to the ball and rebound, lately. I say "lately" bc they were really rebounding extremely well, and rebounding as a Team towards the beginning of the streak. We need to get back to that.
The officiating in this game was absolutely infuriating. Incredibly inconsistent from the jump. After stew got his 5th, I was hoping he'd just go out and try to bait bane into throwing hands, or something. It was clear that the refs wanted a fight, for some reason. I think the league asked them to ref it "like a playoff game," and so they just kept the meter of the game feeling odd and tense. No rhythm. It was absolutely crazy making. By far the stupidest, most frustrating officiating I've seen this season.
I didn't know that about David Guthrie. Fuck. That. Dude. Totally feels like some sort of personal vendetta.
Dude, I hate the magic so much. They flop, talk shit, and are cocky as hell. It's annoying that we're going to have a problem with them all year and into through the playoffs. They might be our biggest threat in the east.
Love the show. No real questions or anything. If I'm wrong about something, lemme know.
I’m kind of in agreement with you that JB needs to start tightening up the rotation. Playing 11-12 guys in a non blowout game is ridiculous! The continuity isn’t being developed. I understand that working Ivey back into the rotation is contingent on the minutes restriction he is under. The guard minutes is where the biggest distribution is going to be affected. Who is going to be odd man out?
I think it’s becoming clear that the Pistons need a legitimate secondary scorer. We’ll see though. I think patience with this group is still the right approach. However, Michael Porter Jr. definitely intrigues me. What it would cost to pry him away from Brooklyn is something entirely different though..🤔
Being orlando , magic fan , the worst thing y'all could have did was trade dennis, shrewder and Tim hardaway jr . Yall so much better on defense and floor spacing with shooting ijs
LeVert was guarding Franz for a lot of tonight because of Ausar foul trouble. He is way too small and got killed. Ron should have gotten more defensive minutes on Franz.

Cade need to hit his free throws. Period!

We need Jenkins running the point after Cade…run plays for Ivey as part of the second unit

The Pistons should take Ivey’s training wheels off. Inserting him in the starting line-up will expedite his progress.
Bring in Lauri Markenan for Ausar, he cant shoot the ball.
