This is a heroic performance in some ways from Cade but he has missed a ton of shot attempts tonight given the high volume and low percentage.

Tough break. Whitmore gets the call that Cade did not get.

Both teams look exhausted.

I wonder what option Jenkins was there. I definitely don't think the play was drawn up for him to be the first option.

Sure would have been nice to have Ausar for his defense.

The Pistons chose not to double McCollum and paid the price. That's on the coaches.

Why did Duncan Robinson bail on the double? They should have forced it out of his hands.

The breaks definitely are not going the Pistons way either. Also, poor execution trying to double McCollum.

Valiant effort by Cade and the Pistons. They caught McCollum on a bad night. Still hanging around though.

You could see this coming a mile away. Pistons look tired and unmotivated.

Cade with 23 shots in the first half. That seems very unusual for him. I always think he is much more aggressive with scoring in the second half.

Rolled his ankle. I don't think it's serious. Maybe a week at the most. I think there is a chance we see him Sunday.

It feels like Cade and Duren have a chance to break some records for assisted baskets combo.

I feel better about the Duncan Robinson signing after tonight. I was really getting nervous about it. This game gives me some hope.

+1000

All this is great from Cade. But the best part is the low turnovers. I don't even care about all the assists. I just want more games like this with low turnovers.

Finally, a call our way. Cade earned that and the Pistons deserved it.

We miss Dennis Schroder.

I take back what out I said about Duncan Robinson earlier. All the sudden, he is hunting his shot and showing he can be successful shooting it under some pressure.

That was a great block. But he bailed Banchero out like two possessions before that with a body check foul that led to an And 1. He does that once or twice a game. The next step for him is becoming a more consistent on ball defender. He's not bad but I want him to be great on defense. It doesn't help we ask him to expend so much energy initiating offense. Overall, he is playing great tonight. No turnovers...knock on wood.

I was going to post earlier that I think Duren is the guy to trade. I just don't trust him. I also think we would probably be screwed without him, for this year at least.

Cade woke up. Nice second quarter.

Was Duncan Robinson this slow to get a shot off with Miami? Or did he just have more wide open shots? It seems like he has a real hard time getting shots up against any kind of decent closeout.

The Ausar situation is going to become uncomfortable at some point. Teams are not going to guard him on the perimeter and we don't have the firepower to make up for it.

Almost everything we are seeing from this team so far screams they are taking a step back this year. They better hope Ivey rounds into form quick when he gets healthy.
