Rocket Arena - Cleveland, OH

Duren: "I'm humbled to be mentioned in the same sentence as one of the all time greats. It's me and Wilt."

The lack of creativity from the coaching staff last night is stunning. Every single time down it was the exact same thing. Cade starting with the ball in his hand at the top of the key. The Cavs defense was in position before Cade even crossed mid-court because they knew exactly what was coming. The same exact thing over and over. We knew months ago this tactic would be deployed against Cade. The staff had the entire season to come up with a way to counter it, and they obviously have found nothing. Just running the same garbage over and over and hope it works isn't a strategy. Put 4 guys on one side of the floor and let Cade ISO on the other. Set the screen with a shooter instead of a big. How about starting Cade off ball. Put him on the baseline, set a down pick to free him up. Start him off ball in the corner, give it to Harris or Duren in the high post, bring Cade to the ball for a direct hand off. How about run a PnR with Jenkins and Duren and have Cade act as a weak side cutter. Get him moving! If a team is going to double a guy you want him moving when he gets the ball. Does that stop the double? No, its still coming. But maybe now its a step late because he gets the ball in a different area of the floor. Maybe it gets caught up in traffic. Maybe they just have a brain fart and screw up the double because they are seeing a different offensive set and have to think on the fly. Stop running the Cade sledgehammer from the top of the key every damn play. The fact an NBA coach and his staff couldn't come up with a different play to get Cade better looks is mind-blowing. It should concern everyone moving forward.

It is getting more difficult for me to care...

Not mentioned in that thumbnail...people believe he has staged multiple assassination attempts. And that he's also widely perceived to be a pedo.

Thompson should have been at the line with .5 of a second left in regulation.

Pretty big choke job

The defense is so much better without Duren on the court.

watch his dumb ass put duren back in the game. you score ofd defense, energy, and getting cade or tobias switched onto mitchell. DO THAT! stop searching for spacing your roster doesnt have and lean into your strength.

Harden needs to really get seriously fouled. A Rick Mahorn type foul.

Detroit playing 5 on 8 in this series.

I didn’t see an ear bite.

Time for Paul Reed.

The leagues last two minute report said the no call on Allen was the correct call. Here is their reasoning.

As someone that moved to Detroit last year (four years in Ann Arbor previously, and many years in the burbs prior to that), this makes me happy. I’ve loved my neighborhood so far, and there’s so much to do in the city these days.

The umps on this crew are terrible.

Gage “Chuck Knoblauch” Workman

Hope springs eternal!

I shared these guys in the “what are you listening to” thread and now it’s time for the geeky stuff. Lots of loopers and they are using microtones. I didn’t know what that was so I’ll include a video of an explanation which makes it very clear. It’s essentially a 24 note scale and it’s not some Willy Nilly “find an odd note” technique. It’s very Asian based with a whole lot of jazz. These guys are innovators and need to be appreciated for the sheer genius of what they do. Drummer brings it. Hard.

Tork is a mixed bag right now - he's walking enough to be keeping one of the better OBPs on the team but he's fallen back into the his usual rut of taking so many strikes looking for perfect that his K rate is too high. He strikes me as a guy who just can't get out of his own way mentally to maximize the physical talent he does have and it's frustrating to watch. He needs to go to RF more and he needs to swing at strikes both of which he is perfectly capable of. If we had a LHB that could play first you could sit him against tougher RHP ( of course Anderson is a RHB) - you'd think that guy could be Keith, but he's a worse defender and until he finds some ISO he's no more productive than Tork has been. This team just is not gelling according to plan.

It’s even worse than that: they hated the prevailing norms because it did not explicitly privilege white Christians above all others. They wanted the norms destroyed so they could be seen and honored, even as they themselves don’t recognize it’s all just empty lip service. Who cares if the economy gets tanked, we become impoverished, and America gets stripped for parts? Jesus is coming any day now, anyway.

When Van Earl Wright had his brief stopover in Detroit they had some fun with that concept. It was a night of a snow storm and they had him take a turn reading the school closings. When he got to L'anse Creuse the others started laughing like "Ok, how's he going to do this one?' Another is Westland. We say it West Land. Foreign readers of things like traffic and news reports will get caught saying "Westlund" Near me is a street called Dartmouth. I say Dart Mouth. Everyone did. Then I moved to Croissant after getting married. I said it "Cruh-sant". then I got scolded for turning into a snobby Dearborn resident instead of a lowly Heights resident who said "Croy-sent" Getting back to parking... if you do use the ParkWhiz app for events, I always suggest typing in the name of the event. That gets linked to it. It's important for TIger games as if there's a rainout you will get your money back. But if you can't find a spot in one of the lots on the app, try changing the event to something else. Sometimes they reserve places for things going on at The Fillmore or Fox or LCA. During the playoffs in 2024 when they announced one of the games as a day game, I snagged a spot for $10 beacuse the owners of that lot near Elephant and Co. didn't update their pricing in time. It was $50 everywhere else.

Or hit a home run...ever.

Anybody blaming Cade for this loss are completely clueless. He was doing everything once Harris cooled down and was exhausted down the stretch. Exactly right, he was let down by his coach first and foremost and his teammates. 3 guys played well most of the game, Cade, Harris and Jenkins. Stew played well for a time and Reed for stretches but it was largely a 3 man show and then largely a 1 man show as Harris faded because he was also gassed.

Criminal to play Caris that much when he was 2-7 and 0-3 on 3’a all wide open. Not sure why Javonte got a DNP-CD.

This and you can't say anything else. The officials cost us this game with that. They directly stole a scoring opportunity by not calling that.

Especially when there was 0% you were going to win the challenge you made.

i know cade is the reason they were even in the game, and he's their best player by far, but he's been a no-show ever since they started doubling him.

That Cade turnover was a killer.

Not a good time for Cade to be passive

If you have a dead beavers ass on your face you can.

If they call a foul on that, after not calling Allen on the trip, I'm ****ing done. I've already almost lost my voice screaming at the TV tonight.

How can you be paid as an NBA coach and make money putting out rotations this bad?

You sat Ausar early and wonder why they’re catching up.

if you challenge when you don't have one it should be a penalt ball or strike.

come on cade. you dont leave strus to hedge when ausar has mitchell.

There are no make up calls in baseball, of course there aren't.

Cade getting rid of the ball quick when the double comes and Harris making them pay! Love it.

Keith with 104 EV on the DP ball - that's enough to get out of a ball park, unfortunately the launch angle was 1 deg.

Does he think he's Mike Tyson?

That’s kind of you. Thank you.

I’ve never had that problem. Just avoid those closest. The ones I mention above are usually stress free. Depending on where you come from.

From Justin Rogers: “Point of clarify for what it matters, conversations between the Lions and Matt Campbell never progressed to an offer in 2021.” Matt Campbell is full of ****. No one at Iowa State declines an NFL job offer after progressing to the offer stage in order to stay at freaking Iowa State. Is it possible Matt Campbell saw the writing on the wall that he wasn’t going to get hired by the Lions, so he quietly withdrew from consideration? Maybe. But he was never offered and it’s insulting to Dan Campbell for him to just come and claim Dan was the Lions second choice.
