RandyMarsh Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Just heard on the radio that the last time the Pistons beat the Bulls they featured a lineup with Blake, Reggie Jackson and Jon Leuer, so yeah it's been awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleterious Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 I get he has family ties to the Detroit area. But did he really need to do his Webber imitation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel bad for him, but he should know the situation. It'll be a learning experience. This is the season to get this particular one out of the way.

Deleterious Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Good February for Ivey. 16.4 PPG, 2.7 RPG, 5.8 APG. He shot 41% from three and his TS% was 57%. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1984Echoes Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 All the key guys are works in progress. And Cade missed his second year which slows that progress. But I am hoping by at least next year mid-season, if not sooner... that all these kids start to gel and start making some rapid on-court growth... Might not mean we avoid the lottery next year... but if they could show the improvement with a rapid increase in wins by season's end... At least we'd have an idea that these kids could actually be the right foundation for future competitive teams. I think they are. But it's too early to know for certain and there's just way too much learning curve left for most of them, and too much mistakes, and losses. So... we'll see.

RandyMarsh Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 They have to take some step forward, Id prefer the playoffs of course but even mid 30s win total would atleast show some progress. We're already at 4 years now with a bottom 5 record so it's time to start showing some improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1984Echoes Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 They've accumulated a lot of talent. Even if it's mismatched at this point. And we still have the 2023 1st round pick high up in this draft... to add another piece. But the ball is squarely in the "development" court right now. Bigly. Casey has a big job to develop all of these kids... Which... Still doesn't guarantee wins or playoffs yet. But yeah, they need to start working in that direction next year.

Yeah but my only problem is that this development could be stunted because he won't be running the team next season with Cade back (presumably). He's being deployed as the floor general now but will likely be more off ball with Cade back so I'm unsure of the fit long term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's being deployed as the floor general now but will likely be more off ball with Cade back so I'm unsure of the fit long term. I hear the concern, but I don't think it's that black and white of an issue. Ivey has plenty of reps off-ball with Killian (or CoJo) running the point, so I think he's seeing both scenarios. We also shouldn't expect Cade to initiate the offense 100% of the time like Luka. Especially in transition, I think you're going to want Ivey to be the one pushing the ball up the court. And there will be times where it makes sense for Cade to get the ball off of a weakside screen so the defense isn't completely locked on him from the moment he crosses half court all game - and vice versa for Ivey. Good teams have multiple playmakers that can initiate the offense. Look at Boston, where Tatum's usage rate is 32.7 and Brown's is 31.4. Sure, you'll have Cade running the show in crunch time, but for the rest of the game you want to have multiple looks to throw at the opposition. Also, to @gehringer_2's point, we need Casey out of here. The guy religiously runs a 5-in, 5-out lineup and can't figure out how to stagger. We've got to find a coach who can manage the simple task of keeping one of Cade and Ivey in the game at all times. That will allow each of them to run the show solo for about half of their on-court minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddha Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 killian's true value to this team is that he speaks french. that will make victor happy when he's here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's partially why I'm skeptical of the Ivey fit with Cade, because Casey doesn't know his head from his ass in terms of how to put his players in a position to succeed. He's the biggest deterrent to future Pistons success, Weaver needs to put loyalty and decide what's best for the team and go coach shopping this offseason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivey should be primary ballhandler and initiate the offense, and Cade secondary when the ball swings out to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not certain about the second part (which I deleted, so, really... just answering what I quoted). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made one more 3 than the rest of us morans did combined. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
