Deleterious

Cade started slow but finished really strong. 39 points on 61% TS% is a fantastic game. Only 3 TO's 10-11 from the line. His defense was a bit iffy now and then. Not sure if you can ask him to do much more. Someone else is going to have to step up for them. If Duren really is a max player he needs to be averaged 20+ points and 10+ rebounds per game. Oh, and not get out played by Wendall Carter. Thompson played 6 minutes in the 3rd quarter and 3 in the 4th. Jenkins played 16 minutes in that time. Orlando had 54 points in the paint to Detroit's 34.

Pistons shot 19 more FT's tonight.

3 of the 5 starters were useless. People will look at Harris with 17, but he needed 15 shots to get it, that's not good. The 4th starter was limited in minutes by the coach for some reason. Ausar at 25 minutes is an absolute joke. Jenkins was awful the entire game. Couldn't score, didn't defend well. Shot 50% from the line. Cad and Harris were the only two players in double digits for scoring. Two players. Coaching was terrible. Dumb rotations, not challenging at the right time, and just bizarre strategy. Bane and Suggs both had 3 fouls early in the third quarter. They should have put those guys in some sort of PnR situation every time down the court. I can barely remember them doing that at all. Suggs picked up his 5th and they still didn't go at him. Best case he fouls out. Worst case he gives up a soft hoop not wanting to get #6. Either way, you win. Horrific coaching not going after those guys.

The guy had challenged the dumbest things all year and doesn't challenge something as easy as that?

Challenge that

Brought Stew in but sat Thompson as well as Duren

Franz is on fire

5 on Suggs. They better run plays against him

I don't understand it. Someone really needs to grill him on this in his press conference

Cade has 3 magic players watching him every time he has the ball

No review for a flagrant?

Banchero just took 4 steps while screening Ron

Jenkins isn't good enough to dribble for 15 seconds. Move the ball

Harris is shooting awful tonight.

Dumbest foul ever by Duren
