1st Listen. Welcome back Cade. Yo Ku…them boys wrapped the East outright. Now it would be nice to see them get 60. Just because, why not right? Man, tonight felt different. Michigan was in the building. The champs, C Webb, Duncan repping…tonight felt like the Pistons got a basketball community that's about to will them to a championship. Word up!! Stay up Ku.
True warrior cade will win mvp next year Detroit stand up 🫡🫡 let’s go deep in the playoffs 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
nba might give cade an exception if he plays 64 games
12 man rotation
absolutely no way Ron is not part of the playoff rotation.
Yep, 12 man rotation. Certain situations JB can insert certain players
Daniss can play with Cade, but the mins of him with Caris increase with this setup. Those two are an awful pairing.
I think it would be more accurate to say they won’t go 11 deep in a single game. I think we see 13 guys play real minutes, the group of Caris/green/reed/ron/sasser will all get DNPs depending on matchup
Ron got to be in the rotation bro! Our big wing defenders is what makes us special.
How you leave out hustle man holland? Hes like bench ausar
Don't forget about the return of beef stew also!
Deeetroit basketball 🏀 not shocking. It was expected. Motor Cade will be ready for the playoffs.
I think this is BS because Cade didn’t ask to get a collapse lung 🙄
9->5 in the playoffs is a lock Ku, cmon now!
Cade would have made the 65 game minimum if he didn't sit out on back to backs earlier in the season… At a time he was healthy for "rest" which essentially load management…
I believe JB will try to go for a 10 man rotation at the start of playoffs (this has been their strength all season but might also depend on how tough their matchup will be) to stay fresh then narrow it down to 8 or 9 the most once Pistons go deeper into the playoffs.
Lock rotation:
1. Cade
2. Duncan
3. Ausar
4. Tobi
5. Duren
Bench
6. Stew
7. Daniss
8. Huerter
Beyond this will be probably a situational rotation where it will depend on the team they will go up against
9. Levert (playoff experience 25 games)
10. Javonte (playoff experience 12 games)
11. Ron (might play if Ausar gets in foul trouble early but LeVert might be prioritize for scoring)
12. P. Reed (only if Duren and Stew gets in foul trouble)
