Deleterious

Cade is the only Piston to make a 3PT shot that half. Also, 2nd game in a row that Duncan had 0 points in the first half.

Also, how does Ivey get a DNP-CD last game and is now out for injury management?

3PT shooting is the only reason Chicago is in this. Once that evens out Detroit should be OK.

Boozer is so good. His big flaw is being in the same class as AJ Dybantsa. Tonight his offense wasn't that great, and he had some foul trouble, still had a huge impact on the game. I like that in a player. The other big thing, he wanted the ball at the end of the game, multiple times. Another thing I like to see in a big time player.

Aston Martin is in trouble.

It says FDS on the NBA site as well.

21 for McCain tonight in 23 minutes. Amazing he couldn't get minutes in Philly. OKC might have the steal of the deadline.

I think he was going to start getting DNP-CD's in Detroit after the trade deadline. They were tossing him out there for 10 minutes a night as an attempt to maintain some trade value. Could be an interesting summer for Ivey. He will probably get some sort of contract, but it will be small. $5 million for a year with a team option, maybe. Someone will take a chance for that type of deal I think.

The only way either one plays is in a blowout.

Small chance this could be a trap game. After the Bulls, Cade and the Pistons have a big week to make a statement, all on national TV. Monday - Spurs on Peacock. The two best players under 25 and teams with two of the three best records in the league. Wednesday - OKC on ESPN. The Thunder announced on Wednesday that SGA would be evaluated in a week, so small chance he plays. Williams won't be evaluated for two weeks, so he is out. Friday - Cleveland on ESPN. I'm not as high on Cleveland as most are. But they have won 7 in a row and 13 of their last 15.

Think I would still go with Jokic. But Cade has to be in the mix of Jokic doesn't meet the games played requirement.
