1/4/2025 - Minnesota @ Detroit

[Deleterious]

Turned it on a few minutes late.  Looks like the same starting lineup.  Because, why would you want to use Holland or Thompson on Edwards when you have THJ to lock him down.  

[Deleterious]

Would love to hear Cades thoughts on this lol

 

[Deleterious]

I should shut up.  Thompson was in the starting lineup.

[RandyMarsh]

Meant to post it at the time of the play but I loved the off the backboard lob from Cade to Duren early in the game. That was sweet! Waiting to see somebody post a highlight of it on x. 

[Deleterious]

Holy ****.

Duren palming the lob.  Cade's pass.  Thompson's dunk.  Damn

That's the play I was talking about in my previous post, so sweet, was only half watching so didn't realize it was to Ausar and not Duren like I thought.

Duren would have got it if Thompson wasn't there.

Love it when they run.  Pretty much everyone on their team is above average at running for their position.  We need to utilize it more, especially with how they struggle on offense.

Yeah, I often think back to that game against Chicago in the first week of the year last year and how exciting the offense looked. They were running up and down the court finishing with highlight reel plays. Haven't replicated that performance nearly enough the past year and a half. 

[Deleterious]

You know your coach is secure with his job when he plays Holland and Thompson together.  

[Deleterious]

Joking aside.  The lineup they have out right now might be my favorite.

Cade

Beasley

Holland

Thompson

Stewart

Ugly offense, excellent defense, and a ton of hustle.  

[RandyMarsh]

Ausar with 5 steals in just 10 minutes of action tonight. 

[Deleterious]

Don't tell me this isn't fun.  They are flying around on defense.  

[Deleterious]

You can play the all D no O lineup when Cade is playing like this on offense.

Hardaway with some nice D on Edwards.  

[Deleterious]

Just give Edwards 3 points anytime he touches the ball.  He is on fire.

[Deleterious]

Dunk of the year and it wont count.

[Deleterious]

 

[Deleterious]

55-43 Detroit at the half.

 

[Deleterious]

The one that didn't count

 

[Deleterious]

Cade and Ant going at it. 6 minutes left in the third Cade has 30 Ant has 38. Pistons up 18.

i looked at the score and wondered how the pistons were whupping minnesota.  

edwards 44 points.  1 assist.

cade 36 points.  8 assists.

that's why.  edwards becoming zach lavine 2.0.  empty calories.

[buddha]

[NYLion]

Ant had the points but should be All Star Cade had the much better overall game. This team is fun to watch, now lets go beat that other Minnesota team tomorrow night.
