Betrayer Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Duren just rolled his ankle. Playing through it, but it didn’t look great. Get these kids some high tops or tape their ankles better. Seems like the ankle issues are non-stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Betrayer Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Bench in. Back to 10. Ausar walked to the bench., so that’s positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Betrayer Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Happy Ivey is having a better offensive game but why is the guy who got benched for his poor defense guarding their best player? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Betrayer Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Good to see Duren back out there after the ankle roll. Now take him back out because this game’s over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddha Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 when cade grows up he wants to be shai. come on, cade. do we need to go back to passive cade? where is cade from the miami game? i guess the fact that okc is a much better team than miami plays a role in that, but cade hasnt been looming for his shot all night. and when he finds it, he's way off.

buddha Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 ausar might be all defense as a rookie. but his range is 6 inches to 2 feet. his shot makes killian look like steph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betrayer Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Cade was more aggressive earlier but he’s missed a lot of shots and the turned the ball over, so maybe he just checked out mentally. Not good, but it happens. Ausar injury reported as a leg cramp. Phew. on the other hand, I didn’t like Duren’s lift on that alley-oop attempt.

gehringer_2 Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Team looks like a lot less than the some of its parts so far. I guess that's so not unexpected with sometimes 4 guys on the court that could still be in college but it makes for some unentertaining games.

Hart Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Based on the box score, the first thing that jumps out at me is Cade's turnovers. If he were an elite offensive player, I could live with a higher turnover rate. But I don't think 5, 6, 7 turnovers a game is going to cut it unless he scores closer to 30 points per game and still averages 8 assists. At least he continues to shoot well from three.

Betrayer Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 The turnovers are definitely a problem and Cade looked like he thought it was a preseason game today. But, Monty’s not doing him any favors with the spacing in that starting lineup either. He’s getting double and triple teamed and blitzed constantly. It’s frustrating to watch, so it’s got to be even more frustrating for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleterious Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Ivey looked really bad on defense. OKC made a concentrated effort to go after him when he was on the court. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleterious Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 SGA helps. But don't pretend Presti hasn't done a great job identifying and drafting talent. Giddey and Williams would both be the second best player on the pistons. Need more games from Chet, but he probably would as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I was watching the recording, but didn't get into it until around 8:30-8:45. I don't always do game threads during live game, certainly not when I am watching on delay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we have to keep in mind how young this team is, there's a new coach implementing a new system, their franchise player missed all of last season, and they still need more talent (either through maturation or acquisition). All of this is going to lead to inconsistencies throughout this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
