Jokic had 37/18/15 tonight.

Missing Thompson hurts. The wings on this team are so bad. Ivey wasn't great, lots of TO's. I swear there are 3 or 4 times he jumped in the air with nowhere to pass.

Bold strategy to blame everyone but yourself. Lets see how that works out. https://x.com/NicoleAuerbach/status/1855733925219332566

Harris missed the first FT. Missed the 2nd on purpose and the game ends while scrambling for the ball.

Wow. Cade misses the 2nd FT on purpose. Ivey gets it and launches a prayer. Harris rebounds and is fouled. At the line shooting 2 down 2.

Sengun missed one. Down 3 with 7 seconds and the ball.

Huge block by Cade. Sucks he was standing out of bounds when he caught it.

Harris lol

Reed fouls out in 14 minutes.

Such a tough spot. You need THJ on the court for his shooting. But he can't guard Green on the other end at all.

Sad. Cade and Fontecchio just standing there waiting for the rebound to come to them. Sheppard runs right between both of them, grabs the rebound and passes to Eason for the layup.

They showed a graphic in the 1st half that said Cade is tied for 2nd among guards for points in the paint. Him and Fox are #2 at 11.4 and SGA is #1.

45-43 Pistons at the half. Sengun and Cade lead all the scorers with 14.

WTF Was Holland doing? You could see that charge coming from midcourt.

Stewart starts the break by diving on the floor for a steal. Cade finds Fontecchio for the transition 3. Tie game.

Sengun abuses Stewart. Pistons switch it up and bring in Redd. Sengun abuses Reed. Sengun is good.

Something not discussed much anymore. Bitcoin is at an all time high of just over $80,800. Of course, by time you read this it will probably have gone up/down another 10%.

Pippen Jr. had a triple double the other night. It was believed to be the first father-son duo to record a triple double. But now people are saying Dolph and Danny Schayes did it before the Pippens.

Ken Jennings said Jeopardy will start streaming in early 2025. It will include the 41 previous seasons as well. He said mostly likely it will be on Hulu or Prime.

The On/Off numbers for this team are interesting. On court number. Only two players have a positive number. Stewart at 3.3 and Fontecchio at 1.6. Every other player is a negative number with Cade almost being positive at -0.8. Sadly, a few guys have positive off numbers. That means the team does better when they are on the bench. Ivey at +1.6, THJ at +2.2, Duren at +1.8, and Holland at +0.5. The combined numbers see a few more positive. Stewart is the best at +10.1. Fontecchio is #2 at +6.7. Cade is +5.7. Harris +2.6. Beasley is exactly 0.0. Now the bad, guys with negative numbers. Duren is the worst at -9.3 followed by Holland at -9. THJ is a close third at -7.3 with Ivey at -5.7.

Not quite as dramatic as Cade last night since they were up 5. Huge night from Mobley. 23 points 16 rebounds 1 block 4 steals 1 assist. Second time this week that Cleveland has been behind by at least 10 in the 4th only to come back and win.

KD and Zion are both out. Both will be reevaluated in a couple of weeks.

NBC was probably thrilled to get the FSU-ND game at the start of the year. Now its a prime time stinker.
