So much of what Detroit does starts with their defense. Losing Thompson really hurt that and is a big story going forward if he has to miss significant time. Not so much for the regular season, but it's a deal if he starts to miss playoff games.
Cade has to be better. 26 points on 26 shots is pretty bad. Funny thing is, he shot well from three but everywhere else wasn't good. His defense wasn't very good either and he took a few dumb fouls.
Insert the Cade needs help plea here.
LeVert and Jenkins were terrible. 20 and 14 minutes combined, and they produced 0 points.
The defense on Wemby was bad. They fouled him 20 feet from the basket a good 7 or 8 times. He isn't Steph, he doesn't shoot that well where you have to pressure him defensively 20+ feet from the basket. You could probably make an argument you want him shooting that shot. Save your fouls for the times he is in the paint.
